July 20 CyberAlert item:

Flip-flop flap tapped for some cheap Bush-bashing. An un-bylined Tuesday AP dispatch, about the controversy over how several members of the championship women's lacrosse team at Northwestern University wore flip-flops when posing last week for a photo with President Bush at the White House, gratuitously included this paragraph: "In 2001, Bush's daughter Jenna, then 19, wore black flip-flops in court, along with pink capri pants and a sleeveless black shirt, when she pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol."

CBS's Early Show brought on David Zinczenko, the Editor of Mens Health magazine, to discuss whether the women committed a faux pas, but he felt compelled to mock Bush: "I think it's totally inappropriate. But here's the thing, I don't even think President Bush noticed. I mean, he didn't even notice when Karl Rove was, you know, crossing his fingers while talking about a CIA leak. He certainly didn't notice this."
