KERRY SHOVES BACK (And Poses For Ridiculous Photo-Kerry's Dukakis Moment)
New York Post ^ | 7/27/04 | STEFAN C. FRIEDMAN

The famously off-the-cuff Heinz Kerry is scheduled to address the delegates tonight. At the Kennedy Center, her husband violated the cardinal rule of politics — getting his picture taken in a ridiculous outfit.

Visiting the space shuttle Discovery, Kerry donned dust-free overalls that made him resemble the sperm cells in Woody Allen's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid To Ask)."

Republican operatives issued a press release featuring the photo and its predecessor — the famous shot of 1988 Democratic nominee Mike Dukakis wearing an ill-fitting tank helmet.

"It's the picture worth a thousand words," said a GOP strategist as he chortled over the photo of Kerry.

But Democrats were not concerned.

"The brilliant Republicans who put George Bush in a flight suit to strut around an aircraft carrier won't get very far giving advice to NASA about the kinds of coveralls to wear," said Kerry campaign spokesman David Wade.

So the dems are comparing this idiot picture of the idiot .. to President Bush in a flight suit on a carrier ..??

The President was a pilot .. the idiot was not, nor is he smart enough to be, an astronaut!

Sen. Hillary Clinton defended Heinz Kerry, telling CNN that "a lot of Americans are going to say 'Good for you, you go girl,' and that's certainly how I feel."

For the dems a more civil discourse means they can say anything they want any time they want. No one else can.

Kerry merely looks stupid in this picture. Dukakis looked stupid in the tank - but it also highlighted or reminded people of the fact that he was a leftist who would weaken our military. He seemed laughable in the tank, but he also came across as a hypocrite and two-faced for trying to act like he'd be a tough commander-in-chief. Kerry just looks goofy..

That's it. I wish it was his tank-ride moment.

oh but there is no way you could look as comical in the suit as Kerry does. And Kerry, unlike W, cannot laugh at himself.

""The brilliant Republicans who put George Bush in a flight suit to strut around an aircraft carrier..."

The President was not "strutting". He DID stand up straight and didn't walk with a slouch. (I think Kerry is a little hunched over typically.) But "strut"??? I have never understood exactly what the Dem operatives have meant by the comment about the President "strutting". How did they expect him to walk on the carrier? On all fours?

"The brilliant Republicans who put George Bush in a flight suit to strut around an aircraft carrier won't get very far giving advice to NASA about the kinds of coveralls to wear," said Kerry campaign spokesman David Wade."

Translation-

If we spin that aircraft landing as a negative maybe Bush won't have the nerve to put that flight suit on again and make even our own women swoon.

I remember the talk shows that Sunday. The women were gushing! Liberal and conservative. Even the men were practically drooling.

Bush is a REAL man. Kerry is a metrosexual girlie man making a fool of himself in this new NASA getup and grounding a pitch halfway from the mound.

Uh...Senor Wade? President Bush was wearing that flight suit because HE'D JUST GOTTEN OUT OF THE COCKPIT OF AN EA-6B PROWLER, YOU THUNDERING MORON! It's kind of required to wear that rig...y'know, ejection seats, parachutes, G-suits, oxygen, all that sort of thing?

It was an S-3 Viking, not a prowler. I believe in the picture Kerrey is crawling out of a Space Shuttle, where the clean room suit is required. I wouldn't let him in there even with one, the klutz would be entirely too likely to break something, and blan his escort for it.

And was that a military guy catching it (or trying to?)?

Mass. National Guardman, just returned from Iraq, after having also been to Afghanistan.

Yesterday, when the photo was first posted in a caption this photo thread, someone said that it looked like Kerry was having an supersize enema. Today Jonah Goldberg said that Kerry looked like he was getting a deluxe enema at the local carwash.
