Here’s a great exchange about Obama, found in the comments section at RealClearPolitics:
From DCD+in+Indiana:
He’s impossible to find because he is an empty suit. We are, in a word, leaderless.
Reply from Dusty:
“empty suit”
Hmmm. And all this time I thought the Emperor had no clothes. I see quite the metaphysical dilemma.
[NOTE: When I was choosing the categories with which to tag this post, I considered adding "fashion" to the list, but decided against it.]

Would it be fashion if he was a naked man in an empty suit wearing a penis gourd?

Very early in the Obama administration, some commenter on some blog I was reading said something to this effect: “It’s not that the Emperor has no clothes. It’s that the clothes have no Emperor.”
I wish I’d thought of it or that I remembered who the commenter was, because it’s perfect.

The answer, Neo, is really quite obvious — he’s both

In stunning legal news, I see, in the Washington District Federal Court, today, an empty suit* is suing President Obama for defamation of character and fraudulent appropriation of identity. The plaintiff’s attorney, Nigel Barratry, who has entered amicus curiae briefs and a pair of shorts, explained yesterday that, he will, conjointly, also lodge a private prosecution, and that the criminal and civil charges include misuse of usufructuary, misprision, plagiarism, peculation, subrogation, and (by alleging further that the defendant was ineligible to be a candidate for president) obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception.
* other apparel and personal items such as windbags, douche-bags and windsocks are feeling similarly deflated and injured, effete and useless, and have expressed a wish to join the empty suit.

If I may steal a riff from Roxanne:
He’s got a great ass. Too bad it’s on his shoulders.

To borrow an image from TS Eliot, he is the hollow man, he is the stuffed man.

If Obama were a tuxedo, America would be a pair of brown shoes.

Empty suit, please. I don’t want to have to picture him naked.

Penis gourd? Somebody’s been watching way too much PBS. Well, two somebodies, because I know you have to have something to put IN the gourd, to hold it in place.

Actually, Michael, I believe there’s a thong situation employed to overcome that which has been overcome.

“He’s a real nowhere man, sitting in his nowhere land making all his nowhere plans for nobody….. he’s as blind as he can be, just sees what he wants to see, nowhere man can you see me at all?” (J&P)
I’ve commented previously on Neo’s stage about Obama, so I’ll not reiterate what I’ve said before except to note that you can learn everything you need to know about the mannish boy’s character & mindset by reading his autobiography.
(I now have to erase the image of Obama in a thong from my brain cells…. thanks a lot vanderleun.)

Needs to be Goggled for others to get the joke.
Cheers.

What part of being a class-A first-rate lying dickhead of a libtard socialist politician did you think would leave him bereft of that which you speak?
Hhhhrrrm?
And those of you having problems with pictures, you’re really, really just not getting this.
If he’s an empty suit, AND he’s wearing “the emperor’s clothes”, then exactly what should be appearing in your field of vision?
I repeat myself:
Obama: The Big 0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^—- Look very carefully. All characters are chosen with precise intent.

Ha! Obama’s so much of an empty suit, even his birthday suit’s an empty suit!

The empty suit and the Emperor’s new clothes cancel each other out, sort of like matter and antimatter annihilating each other?
