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.

Bush Admin has been paying a lot of attention to NASA and throughout the past 4 years. Gradually building NASA up to where NASA can be used in a number of ways -- including national defense.
ROTFL!
"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?"
Excellent point!
lol...
"caption": I am one mean sperm dude. The meanest one in the cluster.
He wants to fit in so bad.
LOL!! Bears repeating!

I wonder how much it would cost, I mean if the Demorats actually had to pay for it, to get the entire MSM to carry the water for a presidential candidate?
Sounds as though Kerry looked at them and thought they were okay, and only now that they're being ridiculed are Dims coming up with the story that they were put out by republicans or leaked - as usual, 'rats show poor judgment and screw up, and somebody else gets blamed......
Hardee har! I said before and tomight that this should have been a great republican photo shoot! My original was! I think.
I just could't get over the visual - tidy man - flushing the john. LOL
Visual perspectve.
the kerry campaign heavyweights were all in boston dealing with the convention; and at the end of the day, some poor mid level staffer is looking for work.
"I didn't put on that bunny suit, that sonofab*tch dressed
me up in it."
The "try" took about 11 seconds. It was followed by staggering success. NOW we're just showin' off.
