What was he thinking? Or was he thinking? Did John Kerry forget how that widely ridiculed photo opportunity in the Army tank deflated the presidential campaign of his mentor Michael Dukakis?
Apparently not. Sen. Kerry continues to face fallout from his widely ridiculed photo opportunity at Cape Canaveral.
He must have thought wearing a baby-blue anti-contamination suit would somehow make him appear tough and less elitist than usual. The New York Post, however, in the lead story "BOSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM," with the secondary headline "Spaceman Kerry's goofy photo flub," today noted he looked instead like the sperm Woody Allen played in "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex but Were Afraid to Ask."
"The GOP effort to pull a 'Dukakis' on Kerry is shifting into
high gear," the Associated Press reported today.
But Kerry seems eager to pull a Dukakis on himself.
Republican chairman Ed Gillespie said, "We just thought it was a great photo."
Look Who's 'Stupid'
Perhaps the senator had to decontaminate himself from the first night of the Democrat convention.
Over at the GOP war room, Minnesota's excellent new U.S. senator, Norm Coleman, noted the presence of a certain anti-American left-wing hatemonger at the Bush-bashing Beantown bash.
"We had Michael Moore in the presidential box, someone who said
Americans are stupid," Coleman pointed out. "Michael Moore sits with President Jimmy Carter in his box. Is that the foreign policy coming out of this convention? Does that demonstrate the party's commitment to make tough decisions?"
Well, at least they've managed so far to hide Dukakis. And his junior-size helmet.
Crap! You beat me to it. It was a Brazilian site, right?
Brit contacted NASA and got the real story. The pictures were taken by a pool camerman and shown to the Kerry camp before they were posted on the NASA website. No dirty trick at all.
The four dufuses or is it duffi clearly posed for the pictures. And now they're denying they knew pictures were taken??????????????????
You need to get this on the front page. Drudge has it splattered all over his. I wonder if he knows what NASA said?
John Kerry is making his debut as the newest member of the Teletubbies. His character will be known as "Flippy-Floppy".
Use Protection!
Don't know if Brit has a transcript up but I saw it early this evening.
You have to remember my friend, you will never loose money betting on the stupidity of the American public---the Dims do it every day!!!!
-- Snip --
Asked by FOX News' Brit Hume if a dirty trick was being played, Cahill didn't answer the question directly but said: "What do you think?"
"This was a legitimate tour of a NASA facility and this photograph came out of absolutely nowhere. We were surprised then. We aren't surprised now."
A NASA spokesman told FOX News that the space agency provided one photographer to document Kerry's tour but said NASA (search) did not release any images to the media.
Instead, the photographs were given to the Kerry campaign to review before several were posted on the Kennedy Space Center Web site. In no way were photographs "leaked," the spokesman said.
Maybe he's just practicing because He will be on his hands and knees to France.....to Bill and Hillary...to Osama...etc.
The pic of the four doofus Senatrs, Graham, Nelson, Glenn, Kerry looked like the Teletubbies!
Can you post the Teletubbie REAL pic next to the four doofus Senators Real pic?
BUMP
Yes, people sympathize with them, and pity them, but nobody wants somebody they feel sorry for to lead them.
Saw this photo being held up by Jay Leno last night, the crowd got a great laugh from it. Leno even compared it to Dukakis and the tank photo.
Botox Boy is imploding in front of our eyes.
It's not just Reaganite 'optimism' to suggest the contrary, but I think it's a statement of fact to do so.
It's the liberal you mean. And can the liberal be won over? I would hope so. I went to college and believed 'my betters'. I was a liberal. I emerged from that despair to vote for Reagan, and wish I could do so, again.
It's difficult to reach out to the liberal and suggest a better way if the GOP is intent on spending, and spending some more, and then attempting to spin their convention as a sort of Democrat 'light'. I'm sorry, but . .
Heheh "KERRY TAKES SAFE SEX TO A NEW LEVEL"
This makes me think of prostitutes...or at least a line in Pretty Woman:
"What's your name?"
"What do you want it to be?"
And, yes, Bush is a MAN'S man! Just like Reagan was!!
ROFLPIMP!
This is really insulting to bunnies. As someone who has been affectionately called "Bunny," I think I feel offended and slighted and slurred. Yup, I think I'll call the ACLU on you.
;)
You guys are too funny!!! My kids are going to wonder what's going on over here!!
*shaking head*
I hope you don't mind. I used your picture at my group home page on Yahoo!
If you want to see the result (and the group), head to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/re_elect_Bush_2004/ (and sign up while you're there).
Great job!
