I was curious about that myself, so I went to the source
of the pic/host and find this on the website too:
Note the flower zipper thingy there ...
The photo caption for the AP/Elise Amendola photo reads: "Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry , D-Mass., right, snowboards followed by ski and snowboard instructor, Jim Grossman, left, at Sun Valley in Ketchum, Idaho Tuesday, March 23, 2004."
Whoops ! One more thing I just noticed in the main thread post ...
STILL MORE: Another reader thinks the photo is very funny, but wonders whether the daisy might have been Photoshopped into it. Fear not; the photo is straight from the Associated Press. Her question, though, did cause me to run a search for all photos of Kerry with his snowboard. And it appears that this picture is the only one that shows the flower-power zipper pull. I infer from this that shortly after the photo was taken, a horrified aide noticed the flower and removed it from Kerry's get-up. Leaving only the sunglasses, the vest, the gloves, the board itself and the botox as evidence of Kerry's Alpha Weenie status.
