Liberals hate a man in uniform

Danny Glick, Sheriff of Laramie, Wyoming and head of the National Sheriffs' Association, scoffs at the Obama administration's call for a "softer look" in uniforms (BTW, Sheriff Glick looks like the kind of lawman who'd bring the bad guys in thrown over the backs of their horses, if necessary).

With respect to the whole "softer uniform" business, I think something like this is probably what the Obamunists have in mind.

Oh, I don't think so, Paco. I imagine that liberals are excited to see someone in this uniform.

JeffS,
They'll want that for the new Homeland Security group intended to oppose "homegrown violent extremists," like Tea Partiers and NRA members.

His Majesty may redesign his servants' livery, may I suggest Greek style?

The tsarouchia clogs with black pompons are especially attractive for the high-kick goose-step march.

Hapless tourist (me for instance): "No sireee, I'm not looking for any trouble, none what so ever! Yes sir, I can be across the city limits in less than five minutes if one of your fine - and may I say, extremely professional looking, you obviously run a tight ship here, - deputies could be bothered to escort me. Yes, Sheriff, I do understand why you pulled me over, I was going one mile over the speed limit. I have absolutely no excuse, and I'm very sorry! Oh, you'll escort me yourself? Wow, what an honor. Do you think we have time so I can fill up my car? No? Okay, no problem. I should have enough gas in the tank to get out of this magnificent, and, if you don't mind me saying, extremely law-abiding town. It's no problem. When I run out of gas I'll just push my car to the nearest town. Besides, I think I'm gonna need a bathroom anyway. Thank you so much, Sheriff. - Erm, you don't talk much, do you, sir?"

Sheriff Glick: (grunting matter-of-factly, squeezing his eyes together as if he is starring into the dessert sun): "Just don't come back, son."

"Softer uniforms"? How Nixonian. Remember when Nixon spent a boatload of money on foofy gold-braided uniforms for the Capitol cops? His face must have burned for months from all the ridicule.

Rebecca: I believe it was the great Emmett Tyrell of The American Spectator who said those Nixon uniforms looked like the livery of the table staff of the late Napoleon Bonaparte.

Yeah, I remember that one, Minicapt. Zoomies everywhere were mortified.
