Thumb surgery means you are one handed. Can't use a hand without that opposable thumb very well. So I understand a t-shirt just fine. I spent 6 weeks in a blanket toga after rotator cuff surgery, that would look great on the house floor(uggg). It's actually refreshing to see a politician in a t- shirt. They all need a good dressing down. The only thing I like about Blarney is he's openly gay, so it's not really as blackmailable. That's somewhat of a plus for those of us who think a lot of politicians are handled by their vices.
