The snowboarding virtual kerry is a work-in-progress.
My goal is to dress him up in his proper ski gear,
complete with his daisy zipper pull,
a look not wholly consistent with above-referenced package. ;)
Incidentally, both clinton and Gore tried the phallic ploy, but failed.
Bush succeeded without trying.

Kerry Ready for Duty
Documentary filmmaker George Butler to bring the life of the Democratic presidential candidate to the big screen.
By FilmStew Staff Report
Teaming up with his old friend John Kerry, documentary filmmaker George Butler will produce and direct the biopic Tour of Duty, centering on the life of the Democratic presidential candidate. Butler began working on the project in 2003 and hopes to have it ready to hit theaters during the Labor Day holiday 2004, just in time for the presidential election.
Based on the Douglas Brinkley book of the same name, Tour follows Kerry as he served a Navy tour in Vietnam, came home and rallied for peace by becoming a spokesperson for the Vietnam Veterans Against the War and then successfully ran for the Senate in 1984. Kerry is cooperating with the film, which will feature both new interviews as well as archived footage. The film is being made outside the campaign, however, and the Democratic Party will have no creative input.
Kerry and Butler first met over 40 years ago and have been friends and colleagues ever since. When Kerry ran for Congress in 1969, Butler served as his press secretary. They also worked together on The New Soldier, the controversial 1971 book about Vietnam veterans.
Butler, who is holding off on trying to make a distribution deal until the completion of the film, may be best known for directing the documentary Pumping Iron, which followed the quest of the then-unknown Arnold Schwarzenegger to win another Mr. Olympia contest. Butler also recently directed The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition."
