Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Warning: Don't Pull a Jeri Thompson

Mike Huckabee's supporters think they know how to influence the all-important Family Research Council Value Voters Summit this coming weekend: Look good. A Huckabee support site, kstreetforhuck.blogspot.com, is offering a "politico dress code" for supporters attending the conservative gaggle that ends with a critical straw poll Huck has to do well in. For men, "jackets are a must. Fall suits are great [black and navy only]." Women: "Suits are a safe bet." And heels, though "keep it modest—don't commit a Jeri Thompson-esq faux pas by dressing for Hollywood or Miami," says the site in a catty reference to Fred Thompson's lovely red-carpet wife. And for both, skip the cologne. "In this town, janitors, secretaries, and 20-somethings going to clubs wear cologne and perfume; professionals do not."
