Kerry's lessons of the fall

Kerry sounds like Mr. Howell from Gilligan's Island when he talks through his neuveau rich clenched teeth. He's no "man of the people" so I doubt he'll be elected.

You see President George W. Bush whacking brambles at his Texas ranch, jogging sweat-streaked through blistering heat, chopping wood - all universally recognized as manly tasks, even if performed by a former cheerleader.

Then you catch Kerry, who shouldn't need to prove his manhood - he served in Vietnam, you know - engaging in preppy sports that require resorts and expensive equipment: skiing, snowboarding, windsurfing.

Not to mention wearing a gay-assed daisy on his fleece vest.

[mom-7]

It's really comical to watch him try and let the little people know that he is one of them. The kept man of tessie has no time for his inferiors. Bigest joke to come around since slick willie.

I wonder if his recent falls while snowboarding were the true reason for his shoulder surgery.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I am thinking that you don't like the gay-assed daisy.

I'd heard that Kerry injured his shoulder some years ago. Then I heard he re-injured it on his snowboard. Then I heard it was re-injured during exercise. Then I heard it was when his bus stopped short. How Clintonesque! A simple injury and they can't even decide how he was injured!

My bet: it's a ruse. The BOTOX is wearing off, and Ol' Horseface needs some new injections.

[rageaholic]

yeah like when he was talking to reporters in front of a lumber mill dressed up in a brand new LL Bean lumberjack jacket trashing Bush's aviator uniform. Kerry's another fraud just like his huggy buddies Bill and Ted.

"I am thinking that you don't like the gay-assed daisy."

Or the flowers either. (But you knew someone couldn't resist didn't you?)

Gotta ask this. Sitting in the doctor's office today and picked up the March 15, 2004, Newsweek magazine. On page 38-39, there's an article entitled "Boys from Boston" with a huge pic of Ketchupman sailing with JFK. On the following pages 40-41, there are later pics of Ketchupman with Chappaquiddick Ted Kennedy. If you compare the before and after pics of Ketchupman, his nose is smaller. Did Ketchupman have a nose operation to make his nose smaller? Can anyone in freeperland answer this?

We're off to see the Wizard for a brain!

You all had comments relating to this:

This picture was on another thread today.

Why is he wearing that glove and the red mask? BOTOX???? He could use about a gallon of it in all those wrinkles.

[Enterprise]

LOL! Maybe he didn't hurt his shoulder in the fall. Maybe his face sagged and cracked and he DID have to get some emergency BOTOX!

[eggman]

When Kerry does join the human fray - on a bicycle for instance - he wears those little padded shorts and a helmet.

I don't recall any lib politicians getting killed while riding a bike but I do recall Sonny Bono and Michael Kennedy being killed skiing without wearing a helmet. He looked enough like a dork on the skis that the helmet could only have helped.

Kerry is virtually indistinguishable from Gore in that regard. AlGore didn't know what clothes to wear until his daughter and Naomi Wolfe tried to reinvent him, then he trotted out the freshly-creased L.L. Bean plaid shirt and khakis for the "sitting in a canoe in a dry creekbed" photo op. Wait for Kerry to do something similarly outdoorsy, once the snow's melted.

[SuziQ]

How much more gracious and charitable had Kerry, clearly an able athlete, managed to forgive the poor clumsy chap who mowed him down.

Gracious and charitable? I don't think those two words are in John F'ing Kerry's vocabulary!

[Steven W.]

But it was precisely in anticipation of Kerry fully decked for bicycling that the word "dork" was invented

Hilarious! and he wasn't even wearing that new jacquestrap on the outside of his pants the time that picture was taken!

[NYpeanut]

Do I see an algore blush on those cheeks? He looks like a painted tree.

"AlGore didn't know what clothes to wear until his daughter and Naomi Wolfe tried to reinvent him, then he trotted out the freshly-creased L.L. Bean plaid shirt and khakis for the "sitting in a canoe in a dry creekbed" photo op."

Just to mention "khakis" - I was watching the debate of Kerry and O'Neil from 1970 or 71 the other night on C-SPAN. Not only did Kerry affect a Kennedy-esque Mass accent which he doesn't sport now, he used the word "khakis" when discussing the dress of some troops only he pronounced it "Kaw-kis" - it was hysterical.
