You’ve seen the movement; now wear the boot

Nikki Haley and the Tea Party are inseparable, right? So what’s next?

Nikki Tea, the boot.

That’s right. It’s an actual product produces by Clarks. I learned about it from the Dillard’s ad on Page A10 of today’s paper. Or rather, my wife did. When she read it out to me, I thought she meant “Nickie T,” or something, but she said, no, Nikki like Haley and T-E-A like Tea Party.

Pretty freaky. Especially seeing as how I can’t imagine Nikki wearing anything that looked like that. Of course, before this year, I couldn’t have imagined her turning into a populist demagogue to win an election, so what do I know?

I would love to know how they came up with that name, or why they thought it described that boot. But I do know it’s pretty weird.

    and what’s more, I can hardly think of a less fiitng style–a Birkenstock, maybe, but a tarted up Wallaby ankle boot, with effete Euro-atyle pleating–how LIBERAL!

    Nikki Tea would be a classic pump, made by Louboutin or Manolo Blahnik–no, must be American–Kate Spade or Ralph Lauren…

    Oh yea, Joe Miller (R-AK wannabee Senator) may wear Charhartt.

    Jim Demint claims to wear Carhartt, but I don’t think he needs to wear those heavy duty clothes for his line of work as a publicity spinner.

    Speaking of ankle boots — back in the 60s I was really into desert boots. Whatever happened to those? I would even be willing to call them “Nikki Teas” if I could buy some — especially at the price I paid back in the day. (My first pair, which I bought from my very first paycheck from my very first job — greenskeeper at a golf course — cost $16. I also bought “Abbey Road,” which came out that same week in the autumn of 1969…)
