The GUILD 7-11: What happens when you run out of skin?

Moore and Kerry's spin: Bush didn't act on the years old information! He should have attacked Iran!

Coming up... goofy Kerry photos... next post.

No wonder it was gloomy today, the Breck Girl was in town.

That face on Edwards reminds of that 'I forgot to bring folding money for the collection plate' face Kerry had in another church.

Bless his heart, John probably doesn't have any rhythm and that's serious concentration to keep the beat on his mug.

Anyone know what that lapel pin is supposed to be?

Was expecting goofy photos of Kerry, he did not disappoint. Thanks for posting them.

Edwards looks almost as silly...he got "black church duty" today so as Kerry and Teresa could worship together in Nantucket. I think they have glued Kerry and Terry's hands together...

It looks like a peppermint lifesaver.

Some enterprising young Floridians have come up with a new form of self-entertainement:

Young in Florida Dangle from Meat Hooks, for Fun

Teresa takes dressing for church to a new low. Simply charming.

[BigWaveBetty]

Now if they could just hook up with the guy who beats his girlfriend with an alligator, that would be entertainment!

Memo to the rest of the world: Please stop sending your freaks to Florida.

Anyone know what that lapel pin is supposed to be?

A symbol of how ethical he is?

[BigWaveBetty]

Works for me. Even sign language has a symbol for Edwards.

[mountaineer]

It also could be a symbol of his intellect, bless his heart.

I considered commenting on Teresa wearing her pajamas to church, but thought I'd let it slide. :)

[daisyscarlett]

When in Aspen, or wherever that ski home is, Teresa wore ski clothes so I guess when at the beach one wears beach clothes. The rich are different than us...lol

HOLY COW! Audi of America called Mr. B this morning to tell him they're giving us a new car!

Lemon Law says if the new car is in repair for 30 days dealer must give customer a new car, tomorrow would be 30 days. Mr. B had filled out a BBB form on the net and sent it Saturday, now that's what I call service.

Color me happy. :-) Mr. B too.

but thought I'd let it slide. :)

Remember those good old days when you'd put on your Sunday best to pick up a relative at the airport?

Although I'm too young to remember (whew!), I've heard stories of people getting gussied up to talk long distance on the phone back in the day.

Though times have changed, it's certainly no excuse for Teresa to be disrespectful.

[pubmom]

I remember my grandmother wearing a dress and pearls just around the house, lol! She wouldn't leave the house even to get the mail unless her make-up and hair were flawless.

I do remember getting dressed up to pick relatives up at the airport, going shopping, to church, etc. And I'm just a young thing!

I'm sure if Gram was still alive, she'd take one look at Teresa and exclaim, "Glory Be!"

[mountaineer]

Good news on the car! We were considering an Audi for our next vehicle, but may reconsider after hearing of your lemon.

The odd thing about Teresa's get-up Sunday is that Effin is nicely dressed, but she looks like she's about to do some yard work (of course, she has people to do that for her). Obviously, the rich are not like the rest of us. I would say more, but I have to cut the grass now.

[pubmom]

Have fun, our family's gardener mowed on Saturday. (That would be me.)

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK FOR US ON VACATION! Drudge shows Kerry on Photo-op vacations!

Contained in that thread is a snippet from FOX news stating that Kerry's daughter, Vanessa, would like her Secret service code name to be,' The Hot One.'

I dare not comment, except to say, "Glory Be!"

[mountaineer]

Let me understand this. The adult daughter of a man married to a billionaire expects (and is entitled to?) the taxpayers footing the bill for her Secret Service protection, and then to make matters worse, this horsefaced person wants a tacky - and completely inapplicable - code name? Effin and his offspring just ooze class, don't they?

"The one-page declassified version of the president's daily brief dated Dec. 4, 1998, contains chilling information the CIA had gleaned from several sources indicating that al Qaeda was working with U.S.-based operatives of its deadly ally, the Egyptian group Gama at al-Islamiyya, in the purported hijack plot.

The brief shows that the intelligence community and the White House were aware of al Qaeda's interest in hijacking U.S. airliners long before 9-11. The day the brief was prepared, then-CIA Director George Tenet said in a memo to the intelligence community that "we are at war" and that no resources should be spared to defeat the terrorists"

But how can this be? Mr. Clarke didn't tell us this? Mr. Tenet played dumb to it when he testified before the 9/11 committee (he's played dumb about a lot of things).
