The White House apologized Thursday for turning the family of a Medal of Honor recipient away from an exclusive tour last week because the late veteran’s 10-year-old grandson was wearing shorts.Boy, I sure am glad that the country elected The Right sort of people, who aren't incompetent and screw everything up by accident.
Vernon Baker, the last surviving black Medal of Honor winner from World War II, was buried Friday at Arlington National Cemetery after dying in July from complications of brain cancer at age 90. He belatedly received the military’s top award from President Bill Clinton in 1997, after historians concluded he’d been wrongly denied because of his race.
On Saturday, his widow and grandson went to the White House for a special tour of the West Wing, which includes the Oval Office and rooms that are in use.
Via Bob.
T-shirt, shorts... Rules are rules, ya know. Can't have any commoners in the west wing.

Antiquated words not in his lexicon.
I wish I had trouble believing this.
