Two men parodying John Kerry (news - web sites) and Michael Dukakis greet people walking into the Fleet Center for the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Boston, Tuesday, July 27, 2004. John Kerry made a campaign appearance in a NASA (news - web sites) protective suit one day earlier, while Dukakis donned military gear for an infamous photo op during his 1988 presidential campaign. The men declined to give their real names.

Hope they're Freepers!
