Macho, macho man!
I want to be a macho man!

Senator John Kerry's new television ad is intended to establish his macho credentials, playing up his skills as a pilot, outdoorsman and athlete, as well as to mention his support from military leaders who served during Republican and Democratic administrations.
And some of that Pentagon-style backing was on vivid display on Wednesday, when retired Gen. Merrill A. McPeak, a former Air Force chief of staff and a 2000 supporter of President Bush, lashed out at the Bush administration's Iraq strategy in a conference call in support of Mr. Kerry.
"I was flabbergasted almost immediately, from the first day of this Bush administration," the ex-general told reporters.
Mr. Kerry, it should be noted, was not always General McPeak's choice. At the start of the primary campaign, the general, who served as Air Force chief of staff during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, was supporting former Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont.

And I, General, am "flabbergasted" at your support of Komrad Kerry.
I think he was in Vietnam too, he should play that up BIG TIME.
LURCH is real manly, being led around on his leash by Ms. Ketchup Heinz, and Mr. Life Guard Kennedy.
Give me a Break, Please.
OPs4 God BLess America!
Which side ?
Macho, macho man!
I want to be a macho man!
Showing his 'macho' credentials? What, is he trotting out his wife?
Its that little daisy on his ski jacket.
McPeak is the single most hated Chief of Staff in Air Force history. He may as well support Kerry. No one else wants him.
ROFL!
Yet, for some inexplicable reason, the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth and the Vietnam Veterans for truth, Kerry's contemporaries, never seem to be able to be reached for comment.
They really should make themselves more available! (/sarcasm)

McPeak, who changed his registration from Republican to independent in April.
"Retired Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak, the former Air Force chief of staff who endorsed George W. Bush in 2000, has left the Republican fold and is backing Democrat Howard Dean in the 2004 race for president."
Dick Klass, a retired Air Force colonel from Virginia who is working with Dean's campaign to attract former military officers, said endorsements from McPeak and other veterans could play an important role in the race.
Klass, who also helped find former top military officers to support Bill Clinton in the 1992 presidential race, arranged for McPeak to spend two days with Dean last month while he campaigned in Seattle and Boise.
McPeak said he spent several hours talking with Dean on his campaign airplane and in vans traveling to events. Although Dean did not have a "deep understanding" of national security issues, McPeak said, "his intuition is right, (and) his gut instincts are right."
When it comes to Iraq, "we couldn't have sat around a kitchen table and designed a policy that was stupider," McPeak said. He argued that there was no evidence of a connection between Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida, "absolutely zero evidence of weapons of mass destruction, and the planning of the formation of the coalition (to support the war in Iraq) was very clumsily done."
Mcpeak was always and will always be an A**hole in my book. We have the term "mcpeakism" in the AF to remind us of all the loony crap he put out and made us put up with.
It doesn't surprise me one bit about this useless pos who was in my AF!
(rant off)
Cheers!
ROFLMAO!!!! His campaign managers saw that Bush-Getting-Caught-in-His-T-shirt in Ireland, worked for President Bush. ROFLMAO!!!
It's always nice to have "up close and personal" observations. Thanks for the confirmation.
Frankenkerry is a real man - just ask the good doctor who threw him together.
It would be nice to make that information a little more available to the masses.
What color are his "EYES" in this campaign ad?
