Open letter to Sen. Fetterman

Dear Lurch Sen. Fetterman:

As someone who supported your campaign for the U.S. Senate,  even with your brain sprain, I think I have the right to ask you to grow the hell up and dress appropriately for the occasion.

Who is wrong in this picture?
I don’t think that’s too much to ask.

Yes, I know the hoodie and baggy shorts send a message. The message is not that you are a gang banger, but that you are a Man of the People.

Except not many Pennsylvanians dress like that. The ones who do are often looting WaWas.

I mean, how you dress in your office is one thing, but doing the peoples’ business in public dressed like a shlub? 

To quote President Joe Biden: C’mon, man.

Believe or not, a lot of right wing nuts Republicans asked me during the campaign if you would dress like that in the Senate.

I told them, of course not. You dressed all business-like when you were in the Pennsylvania Senate as lieutenant governor. (I did not add you often dressed like a slob for the parole board.)

The picture above speaks very loudly about how stupid you look, and that just gives ammunition to your enemies, who say you can’t dress right because you can’t think right.

It may not be fair, but politics ain’t bean bag, as someone once said.

Your image is set. Time to grow up.

P.S.: I asked your staff a long time ago where you got the suits you wear in the Senate. Off the rack? Union label? Custom made? Inquiring minds want to know.
