Just heard a theory about Kerry's "tan" that has the ring of truth to it. Laura Ingraham has suggested that Kerry had a chemical peel on his face -- possibly suggested by TerEZa who it is assumed also suggested his botox. Apparentely, you need to stay out of the sun after a chemical peel, otherwise it will turn the hue currently seen on Kerry's pan.
This theory seems to make sense to me, and it also explains why Kerry's staff is saying he got the color by "playing in the sun all day." There's just enough truth in that statment to make it not a lie, and yet sufficient to mislead the public as to what the truth is, not unlike Kerry's whole campaign.
So how about it? Has anybody gotten a chemical peel around here? Did they warn you to stay out of the sun? Has this ever happened to someone you know? Let's get pumpkingate into the MSM!
I thought being in the sun after a chemical peel would simply give you a bad burn reaction. But, I've never had a high-powered peel.
My question is, how orange will he be for the first debate? I suspect it will have toned down by then.
Whatever it is it is saddening that he is not confident in his real appearance.
He'll flip-flop on whether's its a tan or a Swiss peel treatment.
I've had one and I don't think that is what it is. Yes, you definately need to stay out of the sun postop. But, his worst peeling would kick in about 7 days post and that would be badly timed for the debate. Even if he had it weeks ago, we would have seen him peeling. Dead skin just falls off for days and days.
(I am not that vain really, bad adult acne and it really helped)
After a chemical peel, the skin is typically lighter in color, not tan.
John F*ckin' lacks a sense of self-confidence and that comes across to voters, especially women. He is simply a northeastern effete metrosexual.
I wonder if he will beg to call off the debate? (laughing)
Orange tans are the next new thing, according to In Style magazine. He's simply following the metrosexual playbook but got a bit carried away. Nice pumpkin head.
I heard the 'chemical peel' story yesterday at another source. Exposure to sun after a chemical peel will cause discoloration, the story goes.
"My question is, how orange will he be for the first debate?"
I suggest the lighting director use nice, "warm," lighting to bring out the sincerity and humanity of the candidates.
The Great Pumpkin Kerry - ack! - 32 Days too early!
If they peeled the skin, I wonder which sKerry will now emerge.
The one who... before he....
I think this is a pack of lies. First of all the color looks funny right at his hair line, like a makeup line, which indicates the spray-on tan.
I'd be careful about calling him pumpkin head. I saw movie about that one time.
With a chemical peel and sun reaction, it would be more like a red flush, almost like a RASH, not "orange" like the fake makeup thing.
Actually, I think this is just Kerry's crass way of getting more people to buy Kerry masks for Hallowe'en, thus "winning" the mask-buying poll which the MSM always does to judge candidate popularity.
