KERRY PAMPERS HIS HAIR, BUT NEGLECTS HIS ROOTS

January 26, 2004 -- NASHUA, N.H. - What would Fred and Ida Kerry think? John Kerry, tall, straight and painfully thin, marched his hybrid Kennedy/Clinton hairdo into the high-school gymnasium here. You could practically see the wheels churning beneath that wind-defying bucket: "I will loosen up. I will not screw up."

Peyser is fabulous. I love what she writes.

Hmmmaren't there laws about wearing helmets during hockey games? And knowing our nanny gov't there are, didn't hanoi john break that law the other day?

[capt. norm]

The Clintons absolutely MUST stop Kerry to retain control of the Democratic party and keep it away from the Kennedy clan.

Should Kerry get elected it's all over for Hillary and her ambitions for the White House. She would then not be able to run until 2012 where her age, and loss of her senate seat to either Pataki or Giuliani in the meantime, put her permanently out of the running.

I think we shall soon see the Clinton "War Machine" in action behind the scenes digging up dirt on Kerry and leaking it to the other side and the press. Ketchup Boy's luck is about to go bad for a spell.

Democratic back-stabbing, of epic proportions, is about to begin. I can just imagine Hillary seething at the Kerry-Kennedy display yesterday. Wonder if she ended up throwing an ashtray at the TV while it was on.

Before the beginning of yesterday's stage-managed spiel called a "rally," his people passed out stacks of American Windsurfer magazine, featuring beefcake photos of Kerry windsurfing (nice legs, dude!), looking like the reincarnation of JFK on a sailboat.

I thought Kerry lost a leg in Viet Nam?

Wrong Kerry.

Former Senator BOB Kerrey (Nebraska) lost a leg in Nam.

<< .... I'll probably vote for George Bush because he supports Israel ..... >>

I'll probably do that because -- darn it -- and even though I'm as mad as heck with him about [To put it mildly] 'quite a lot' -- as The Man said: "I don't belong to no organized political party. I'm a Republycan."

[Brian Allen]

G'Lord!

What a match.

A beauty!

[tioga]

-too funny.

So kennedy/clintoon fued extends beyond the original brooha-ha about NYC vs Boston to Clark vs Kerry.....should get very interesting. And I thought the fun was over after the dean meltdown. It's only just begun.

I wonder if old Ted and Chris have had Teresa in their sandwich? With a little ketch-up!

[samtheman]

excellent!

NEGLECTS HIS ROOTS

I dunno. I could never SEE his roots. I still contend it's a hairpiece.

Probably the closest that Kerry, Boston-bred heir to the Kennedy legacy, ever came to Irish blood was when a dinner guest dabbed a cut finger on the Irish linen. Fortunately, many here understand the really important issues - such as hair. This is almost as big as something anti-Bush New Hampshirites call "electability" - defined as "the ability to avoid staging a Howard Dean meltdown in public."

Even then he knew -- he didn't know who he was, what he stood for, what was important, how to be presidential, or how to avoid the second meltdown of his campaign. One thing is certain: the meltdown is coming, like butter on a hot pancake flipped so many times into the air it's hard to tell which end is up -- as Dangerous Dan Rather might say.

[OESY]

BTW, your images are great. Could they have been separated at birth -- baby and after-b?

[bushfamfan]

That's an interesting assessment. Sure, he's a Demonrat, but the Clintoons want it for themselves. And it's most likely that Hillary will be challenged by Giuliani. That's one good thing about Kerry-he'd keep the Clintoons from the White House and it would actually be amusing to see Kerry f*** things up in the White House.

DEPENDS ON YOUR DEFINITION OF "POOR"

A new study suggests the poor (in the United States) aren't so poor. According to a recent study by the Heritage Foundation, 46 percent of the technically 'poor' live in their own homes, most with more living space than the average person in Paris, London or Vienna. While 73 percent own at least one car, 30 percent own two or more, and 76 percent have air conditioning. Also, according to the study, 65 percent have a washing machine, 97 percent have a color TV and 78 percent have a DVD player or VCR." -- FoxNews.com, 1/23/04

Comment: If Dems didn't have a constituent base that would keep them in office, they would have to invent it, and it appears they have.

You MUST transpose these two pictures together so I can print it out and tape it to my car window if Kerry is the DNC nominee !! LOL ROFL !!!!

Considering the significance of hair in post-Eisenhower presidential pollitics,

perhaps we should in future expect health-care coverage of hair transplants to become a political issue.
