JUST hours before Sen. John Kerry boldly announced, "I don't fall down," on a Sun Valley ski slope, he fell down.

Kerry made headlines last week when, on his first snowboard run down Idaho's Mount Baldy, a skiing Secret Service agent collided with the Democratic presidential candidate, sending him tumbling into the powder.

"I don't fall down. That son of a bitch knocked me over."


The man really has character.

Kerry, IMO, is less of a threat tyo Bush than the liberal media establishment would have us believe. He has the warmth and personality of a subspecies of AlGore and will be extremely hard-pressed to carry much (if any) of the South).

I think that as more stories about Kerry come out, his weak support among Dems will waver. With John Kerry, Dems have been sold a pig in a poke.

"It was a quick slip and an immediate recovery," says Kerry rep David Wade. "He was up in a second."

Well, Kerry bounces back and forth, I suppose he can bounce up and down as well.

...Kerry showed he's as vulnerable to gravity as the rest of us.

Gravity is for 'little people'...

This guy is such a moron. If he fell down on a snowboard, who cares? People fall down skiing and snowboarding. To simply laugh it off and get up again makes him look like a regular person. Now because of his arrogance, he ends up having to address totally irrelevant issues about whether he fell on a slippery floor or not. His narcissism is very unbecoming. He is a difficult person to like and that will cost him a lot of votes.

Compare and Contrast

"May almighty God bless our military, law enforcement, and firefighters. They are the backbone of freedom."

"I don't fall down," the "son of a b*itch knocked me over!" ____________________________________________________________________

"I know about having your life turned upside down because your man wants to serve the country he loves," she said. "I know you're proud of your husbands, and I'm incredibly proud of mine."

"Now, politically, it's going to be Teresa Heinz Kerry, but I don't give a sh^t, you know?"!

The agent warned that heightened security could entail occasional "frozen zones" where freedom of movement is restricted should Kerry win the 2004 election.

Then again J F'n Kerry could do a Sonny Bono imitation and that would end any "freedom of movement" concerns ;-)

Kerry got a taste of local hostility when he lunched with his wife Thursday at the Warm Springs ski area. An octogenarian at a nearby table loudly told his date, "I see the idiot is here."

A very perceptive member of the "Greatest Generation" who probably spent more than 4 months at risk in WWII.

An octogenarian at a nearby table loudly told his date, "I see the idiot is here."

Whereupon the Senior Senator from France grasped the senior citizen by his lapels and demanded, "Are you Republican? Are you? Did you vote for Bush? DID - YOU - VOTE - FOR - BUSH?"

A young waitress scolded the senior citizen, "It's guys like you who got this country where it is!"

And the stoopid twit never stopped to thank him.

Can you believe his staff doesn't even want to admit that he fell down on a wet floor? Does this guy think he's a god? Does his staff think he's a god? Does he levitate across the floor? Do they lay their coats across mud pubbles? Is he too good to allow his feet to touch the same soiled floor as us little people?

Remember the front page pictures when Dole fell on stage in 1996? As his mentor and staunch supporter and foreign leader, the late Osama bin-Laden said, when people see a strong horse and a weak horse, they chose the strong horse.

Even on the slopes, he's a flip-flopper.
