Kerry says: "I Don't Fall Down" (Drudge's title)

Kerry's political handlers are idiots. A private home worth millions in Sun Valley and the slopes populated by the Super Rich. This is precisely the opposite image he should be looking for.

His voting record and HUBRIUS will be what destroys John Kerry.

[sphinx]

Let's see: the Secret Service guy "inadvertently moved into his path, sending him into the snow."

As I read this, it would mean Kerry ran into a guy in front of him. The story isn't specific about whether they were already skiing/snowboarding or just moving toward the start, but either way, it looks like Kerry wasn't watching where he was going.

Does anyone other than me remember early in the Clinton years when a photographer got in Clinton's way during a photo opportunity showing Slick walking through an area, like a garden or something similar? Clinton cussed the photog out and was caught on tape. I only saw it once but it was shocking to see the President of the US talk like that to a guy that was only trying to do his job. Sounds like Kerry is cut from the same cloth. Mrs PD

LOL!

[plain talk]

When asked about the mishap a moment later, he said sharply, "I don't fall down," then used an expletive to describe the agent who "knocked me over."

This is really good. The sheeple and independents are not going to cozy up to this pompous windbag. Think how Reagan and Bush treat those who work for them and how they would handled this incident with humour, made lemonade out of lemons and found a way to get good PR out of an incident like this. Now contrast that with Kerry's obsession with bragging about himself and cursing lowly ones who work for him. A pompous weenie that brags all the time looks pretty silly and is ripe for SNL skits. I predict Bush will win unless Dems lie, cheat and steal the election.

Heaven help me — I'm starting to READ Kerry statements, and HEAR them in his droning, mesmeric, somnolent, graveyard tones.

"I-I-I-I-I-I don-n-n-n-n-n-n-n't fal-l-l-l-l-l-l down-n-n-n-n-n-n."

Aiiieeeeeeee!

Ironically enough, there is a generation out there who love wealth. VH1, E! and MTV are all over the place with stories about "celebrities" and their $$$. To these folks, it's status and they want to be associated with it.

Then maybe he could go home and skate on the creek the taxpayers of Idaho gave him.

"I can just picture Kerry trying on different ski outfits in the mirror."

LOL Does this make my face look long?

Many stop signs here have "Bush 2004" spray-painted underneath, and the rebellious teenagers tend to be "hard-core vegans," said Barrett Cincotta, 13.

"Everyone in this town is anti-Bush," Barrett, a Junior Olympic skier, said between runs. "He's trying to destroy our planet."

athletic for a for a guy like lurch means snow boarding, rowing in the bay with the yale team, or playing polo or something. put a football in his hand and he looks like a spaz.

[knuthom]

Well, last time I checked, an outdoor john was called an "outhouse". A nickname is born.

Good nickname. I think we should call the indoor John by a french word - bidet. It's main job is too get rid of the evidence after you've been f'd.

I'd much rather see the photos of GWB getting his hands dirty and working up a sweat on his ranch

Me toooooo!

[Pukin Dog]

Yeah, but there are not enough of those fools to form an electoral majority. Kerry really blew it.

[petercooper]

Kerry is a big turkey!

[sarasota]

Thank you Betty! I had serious Kerry fatigue and this was such a wonderful contrast. We have a real man here, not a pompous windbag.

Oh yeah? Then how do you explain that beat up face?!?!?!

[Colonel_Flagg]

I just love working off a central theme, don't you?
