Police sealed off the office building that houses Sen. John Kerry's headquarters on Thursday after a package with white powder was opened by campaign staff.

Kerry, D-Mass., and his vice presidential running mate, Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., were hundreds of miles away, campaigning their way toward next week's Democratic National Convention.

"An envelope was opened and white powder fell out," said campaign spokeswoman Debra DeShong. "On the recommendation of the Secret Service, we contacted the local police who are here investigating."

But, I thought that John Kerry said that he could bring the country together? I thought that he was a uniter not a divider? Why would anyone want to harm him? /sarcasm

[AZamericonnie]

Mr. Kerry, here's your security breifing.

[kcvl]

Wow, who knew that botox comes in powder form.

Did you see him today? He is freshly botoxed, tanned and UGLY as ever.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Gee, this sure is suspicious timing. I mean, are they trying to divert attention or to evoke sympathy or something -- just before the RAT convention? Very suspicious.

[BobS]

It's actually for Kerry's WIFE!

[TommyDale]

There's absolutely nothing to worry about. "TICK TICK TICK TICK..."

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

Yeah, what timing, huh?

Isn't that what the Dems are saying about the Berger "leak"? It's silly when they say it, so I'm going to be a bit more careful with that one for a bit.

Neville Chamberlain said that one also

This is something that the press is hiding from us. Kerry has cooties.

If you've ever seen cooties, you know that they are little tiny white things. If a bunch of them are together, it looks like white powder. But it's not. It's cooties.

This was probably somebody trying to get even with Kerry for bringing cooties into his house. Every time Kerry goes anywhere, people find cooties afterwards. Obviously, somebody figured out where they came from, and sent them back.

[NonValueAdded]

Y'all beat me with the timing comments ... isn't is so convenient a distraction from TrouserGate and the 9-11 Report that on balance supports Bush's actions? Well, that is exactly what the DNC would say if the situation was reversed.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Or maybe they want more government funded security for F'n. Who knows. The timing is VERY suspicious.

[kcvl]

The timing is VERY suspicious.

[enraged]

"How much you wanna bet the Kerry Camp mailed it to themselves"
"Didn't Clinton have a problem like this right after 9/11??"

That's what I was remembering too, anyone out there with an old link to the story???

[snooker]

Ha, that's what I was going to say.

Curious timing. Break the news cycle on Berger before we go under. Going to be an interesting news cycle.

[Casloy]

Didn't Kerry know Edwards had a flatulence problem? The rest of us knew it, didn't we?

[TankerKC]

How convenient.

Yeah, 'cuz we all know that Kerry and Edwards normally spend ALL of there time sitting in campaign HQ...not on the road. They just left long enough for this "diversion".

Sarcasm? Yes.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[BigWaveBetty]

I must question the timing of this attack. It's a blatant attempt to shift the focus of clinton's failed attempts to get bin Laden in the newly released 911 commission report and Sandy Berger's sticky pants episode.

[NeoCaveman]

obvious distraction from the Berger fiasco

I question the timing of this too.

[evad]

Everybody relax. It's just Botox.

Are you kiddin'?..
if it make you look like Lurch it's scary stuff!
