In this era where talking heads interview talking heads about the analysis perpetuated by other talking heads about Obama's allure, we appreciate the momentary break to laugh at it all.
In the release, titled "Proper Attire For The Temple Of Obama ('The Barackopolis')," Rogers wrote, "There may be some confusion among the press about the venue and appropriate dress code for Barack Obama's big speech. To help out, we wanted to provide the following tips on appropriate attire. The toga may have gone out of style centuries ago, but after Obama's temple speech tomorrow night, they're sure to be flying off the racks."
The release goes on to describe specific toga styles, including "The Nobleman - This toga is recommended for men. For celebrities and lobbyists, please add the red over toga. One should expect to see such stars as Ben Affleck dress in red robes, along with the lobbyists who fill Invesco Field's skyboxes."
