He looks like a sea monkey!!!
Not ONE WORD on yahoo or anywhere else. They know it. He's committed political suicide. Lurch at the Library. Film at Eleven. Oh, and all you people who had to wait 15 hours in the sun? Tough.
The character of Senator Kerry is well known.
Despite his stated feelings toward Reagan, I do not begrudge anyone the opportunity to participate.
I could even overlook cutting in line, though I have more respect for those that wait with the people.
Where I draw issue is with Senator Kerry and the MSM is on their attempts to capitalize on Reagan's death. If they had a shade of decency they would understand this is wrong. The public would be more supportive of a respectful low key presence from adversaries.
Instead we have:
1) Kerry's response to Reagan's death being equated of same/more import than that of Margaret Thatcher.
2) A camera crew photographing his visit.
3) A hasty exit with a thumbs up.
4) A catty comment that Reagan spared him more attention (he says) than President Bush. In spite of claims he suspended his campaign.
5) His own website supporting vitriol toward President Reagan.
6) Accusations that President Bush will use this to elevate his campaign even though he has shown no signs of an intention to do so. Nor would he, as he and Reagan both know the definition of character.
While expected this conduct above is what angers me. They aren't going to distract me from honoring Reagan's memory, though. Their attempts to spin this off his memory into a Wellstone blitz will fail. Reagan will command center stage at his events, not those seeking to use his name for gain.
