NORFOLK, Va. (Reuters) - Republicans distributed a photo of Democratic candidate John Kerry wearing a head-to-toe protective suit on Tuesday in comparison to a famously unflattering photograph of Michael Dukakis in a tank that helped sink his presidential bid in 1988.
Late-night comedians made fun of the picture and President Bush's re-election campaign e-mailed it under the caption "Earth to Kerry." "Bubble Boy," read the headline on the front page of the Boston Herald, a newspaper that has not been a supporter of Kerry.
The photograph was taken on Monday at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, when Kerry along with astronauts-turned-U.S. senators John Glenn of Ohio and Bill Nelson of Florida were required by NASA to wear the precautionary suits to tour the "Discovery" shuttle due to launch in March.

These Nasa photos are from the "Kerry Jumps the Shark" collection... :)
Like most Democrats they were victims!
Looks like he's being reborn as a "moderate." Actually, he's a chameleon -- all things to all people. Or is that a liar?
I bet he starts his convention speach with "I would have worn my NASA suit but its in the cleaners" or some such crap... What a loser... geek.
Notice that the article mentions the late-night comedians using the photo as well. However, the reporter does not say that these comedians are 'trying' to ridicule kerry. The reporter accuses only the Republicans of trying.
You know what kills me about this headline the most? It's remembering all the pot shots the "mainstream" media took against Bush in 2000. Oh, hmmm...let's just start with Maureen Dowdy. Where was the Post headline about liberal journalists trying to ridicule Bush?
Where's that picture of the crying baby? It's always someone else's fault when this loser messes up. If he can't deal with NASA, how in the hell will he deal with the murdering Muslims?
These are the new "condoms" the liberals will give out in schools if John Fonda Kerredy wins. he he he
It is funny that the Kerry campaign didn't complain about all the other Doofus photos:
Doofus on a snowboard
Doofus on a on a Harley (actually it was a Honda)
Doofus on a on his $6,000 bike
Doofus bowling
Doofus windsurfing
Doofus boating
Doofus on a on his $6,000 bike again
Doofus with a daisy
Doofus trying to catch a football, aboard the plane, with his eyes wide shut
Doofus buys a jockstrap
Doofus trying to catch a football tossed by Little John, and Doofus drops it
Doofus returns the toss of the football to Little John--who also drops it
Doofus on his $6,000 bike again
etc.
The more democrats try to become 'manly', the less they appear so.
They really should have a done a photoshop contest on this over at FARK.
It is almost as if his voting record in the Senate was not enough to ridicule him.
Shoot, the picture speaks for itself.
No need to prod.
Actually, that is the only disaster management way out of it!
Nice list. Diogenesis ought to compile a pic page!
