[history]
John Kerry certainly looks like a president--the thick steel-wool hair, the Lincolnian planes and shadows of his face. He is tall and slim and seems serious. He also has the guts to wear salmon-colored ties. A red tie is red and a blue tie is blue, and red and blue know what color they are. Salmon is a more delicate hue. Salmon can't decide what color it is. Sometimes it's pink and sometimes it's orange. It's like wearing ambivalence on your shirt. This is an unusual thing for a politician to do if it's thought through, and it takes courage.

excellent Noonan article on Kerry...
To: All
"He wound up looking not like Mr. Reagan but like a turn-of-the-century madam in a San Francisco whorehouse, but that's not important."
Had to pick myself up off of the floor after that line!!!!

Many great lines here, but this, imo, is the best:
The great unmentioned fact of Democrats in power and foreign policy right now is that they try hard to do nothing, because if they were to do something it would be what Republicans do. And they don't want to do that.

The good news about Mr. Kerry, and I mean this seriously, is he does not appear to be insane.And thus the worst kind of psychopath.

"One has the sense he is a liberal Democrat because of the time and place in which he was born, that he inhaled a worldview as opposed to struggling through to one."Bingo!

Peggy's always too nice :) Kerry is a Dork. A Dork Weasel who lies without shame. He prob got one of his pruple hearts by impaling himself on his bayonet when he jumped of the PT boat.

John Kerry looks like President Andrew Jackson. Just look at a $20 bill! Separated at birth??
To: mrs tiggywinkle
Oh and Kerry in some ways reminds me of Gore
He doesn't know who the heck he is .. or what he stands for ..
Well let me be a bit more clear .. he doesn't stand for America

Kerry looks larger in my rear view mirror.
He's very small head on.
