DEMS CLAIM NASA LEAKED PHOTOS TO SMEAR

Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill claims 'dirty tricks' by NASA after it released 'surprise' photographs showing the Dem presidential hopeful dressed in a space suit crawling through a rocket hatch.

Cahill, asked by FOXNEWS whether it was a dirty trick, said: 'Well, what do you think?' No photos were supposed to be taken, she said.

Begin Transcript:

HUME: i must ask you about this photograph that suddenly turned up and fell in our laps last night nobody thought it was come. nobody had reported on the event which led to-t but there he was, the senator, on all fours in this very peculiar outfit, which i guess nasa had given him. how did that come about?

CAHILL: well, yesterday senator john glenn, obviously he was an astronaut in his previous life sexrvings senator carr took a tour of a bio facility at nasa. it was just the two of them, and the nasa staff, and all of a sudden this is a leaked photo.

HUME: it was leaked?

CAHILL: yes.

HUME: it was made by nasa, right?

CAHILL: yes, it was.

HUME: so the campaign had no idea there would be any photographs.

CAHILL: none.

HUME: when it was agreed he would put on his th costume.

CAHILL: there was no press there. there was -- nothing. all of the sudden these photographs are out.

HUME: do you smell a dirty trick here? CAHILL: well, what do you think?

HUME: that isa is not a particularly political organization.

CAHILL: this was a pledge i want tour, obviously that, senator glenn and senator kerry were taking at cape canaveral, and all of the sudden these photographs appeared, and, you know, take it as you may. brit: well, is there any concern that this photo might prove as embarrassing as the fabled tank photo did in 1988?

CAHILL: you know, i think probably nasa will release the photograph of senator glenn, former astronaut, in the same –

HUME: in fact, there is a shot with a bunch of them in these outfits. he is not running, of course.

CAHILL: and the thing is this is a legitimate tour of a nasa facility, and this photograph appeared out of nowhere. we were surprised. we're not surprised now.

HUME: you don't have anyone in mind? do you think -- CAHILL: i don't.

This one stinketh like the day-old product of a dyspeptic bull. A presidential candidate puts that getup on at this stage of his campaign for a photo-op, period. Mr. Cahill is a liar.

Kerry doesn't go anywhere without his photographer. He even took him to Reagan's viewing. I think Dufus thought he looked really cool and gave the photo to the press himself. Cahill was lying through her teeth. And what was with Cahill's hairdo. She looked like she had a mushroom on her head. Talk about looking dopey.

so let me get this right, Kerry put on this clown suit, and makes a st eating grin for whoever is taking the pic and now the dems say the photo was leaked to smear Kerry...LOL..did the GOP force him into the clown suit and put the fake smile on his face? I suggest it was taken by dems for publicity and it backfired, thus another Kerry flip-Flop....

That man can smell a camera from three thousand yards. The photographer probably knows what Kerry had for lunch.

Mary Cahill is not quite right. First, I posed for photographs.
Then it did not."

If they'd just shut up the photos wouldn't get anywhere as much attention ! He was in a clean facility & had to wear the suit, no big deal. It's a funny pic but not derogatory. They need to lighten up :)

Drat, the RATS have caught the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy again! When we put that crackpipe in Marion Barry's hands, we thought we had him. When we convinced Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky to seduce and betray Bill Clinton by telling the truth to the Grand Jury, we thought we had him. But our greatest operation, putting Ketchup Boy in a suit that makes him look like Woody Allen, and convincing him to make that goofy grin has backfired. We're lost....

Didn't know photos were going to be taken?

"Hi Mr. Kerry - having FUN? Let's see a BIG smile so I know you're having fun! Can you turn a little more to your left and look more at the flower in my lapel when you smile please?"

SORRY, but every person that I've met from NASA has a sense of humor like a brick-None.

They are not to publicity-sensitive , so they thought they were granting Lurch a favor, in case he won, to keep their programs alive.

If he had any brains, he wouldn't have posed in that position. There are other photos from that visit, where he looks normal, like just another dignitary being given a dog-and-pony show in a clean room. But in that one particular photo, he could best be captioned as Dorkus Maximus

Kerry had lots of fun pretending to be a Woody Allen spermatozoa with a special itch to find the world's richest women. h
