As I recall, Savador Allende went in for that sort of thing too concerning his wardrobe. And, he too, would often get flack from people on the extreme left who didn't think his fashion sense was sufficiently "proletarian." However, if you should ever find your yourself residing in the White House and should it then come under attack in a rightwing military coup (giving you the oppurtunity to die in revolutionary sanctity), I think you can rest assure that Carl and others like him will sing your praises. Of course you won't be around to enjoy the spectacle, but you can't have everything.
