Democrats hopping mad over 'bunny suit'

The campaign of Sen. John Kerry yesterday accused NASA of leaking a widely circulated photo that shows the candidate wrapped from top to bottom in a baby blue "bunny suit," implying that it was a "dirty trick."
    One campaign official told The Washington Times last night: "All I can say is it was not an authorized release."
    But the National Aeronautics and Space Administration told Fox News that the Kerry team saw the photos before publication and passed on their release.
    A NASA spokesman told the top-rated cable network that the images 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.
    But campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said in an interview with Fox, "This was a leaked photo."
    She said the campaign never was told that the photographs, which are drawing ridicule and comparison with the Michael Dukakis "tank" photo on the Internet and talk radio, would be taken during a campaign stop at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

True, but your sentence was exactly two words too long.

[Fledermaus]

ROFL...I got that!

This dippy woman also told FOX that Kerry was taking a tour of some "bio facility". Actually, they were touring the SHUTTLE! The suits are required because they are readying the ship for launch.

Hiya, Batsy! (g!)

Reminds me of the Intel bunny people. I don't have a problem with the clean suit...Kerry just looks dorky no matter what he does. Some men are just comfortable being in their own skin. Bush is one of them...Kerry always looks uncomfortable in most everything he does. He just can't help it. The harder he tries to look macho..it just comes off as an elitist, arrogant snob trying to be 'every man'. If the guy is an elitist arrogant snob..so be it...then act like one. I always have the impression Kerry is trying to be Joe SixPac...when in fact he really loathes all the activities (sports activities)he thinks he has to participate in to get the Joe SixPac vote. The skiing and biking pics that have been posted here in the past have shown Kerry as too coordinated, too ensembled...too artificial...alright I will say it....too girlie man.

Unfortunately for one of the Johns, this Dukakisesque event has been memorialized in SONG ---- PRECIOUS AND FEW.

This is the story of the hare who lost his spectacles.

Owl loved to rest quietly whilst no one was watching. Sitting on a fence one day, he was surprised when suddenly a kangaroo ran close by.

Now this may not seem strange, but when Owl overheard Kangaroo whisper to no one in particular, ``The hare has lost his spectacles,'' well, he began to wonder.

Presently, the moon appeared from behind a cloud and there, lying on the grass was hare. In the stream that flowed by the grass -- a newt. And sitting astride a twig of a bush -- a bee.

Ostensibly motionless, the hare was trembling with excitement, for without his spectacles he was completely helpless. Where were his spectacles? Could someone have stolen them? Had he mislaid them? What was he to do?

Bee wanted to help, and thinking he had the answer began: ``You probably ate them thinking they were a carrot.''

``No!'' interrupted Owl, who was wise. ``I have good eye-sight, insight, and foresight. How could an intelligent hare make such a silly mistake?'' But all this time, Owl had been sitting on the fence, scowling!

Kangaroo were hopping mad at this sort of talk. She thought herself far superior in intelligence to the others. She was their leader; their guru. She had the answer: ``Hare, you must go in search of the optician.'' But then she realized that Hare was completely helpless without his spectacles. And so, Kangaroo loudly proclaimed, ``I can't send Hare in search of anything!''

``You can guru, you can!'' shouted Newt. ``You can send him with Owl.''

But Owl had gone to sleep. Newt knew too much to be stopped by so small a problem -- ``You can take him in your pouch.'' But alas, Hare was much too big to fit into Kangaroo's pouch.

All this time, it had been quite plain to hare that the others knew nothing about spectacles.

As for all their tempting ideas, well Hare didn't care.
The lost spectacles were his own affair.
And after all, Hare did have a spare a-pair.
A-pair.

In all honesty, I've never understood what was so horrible about the Dukakis tank photo.

But, then again, I never understood what was so horrible about the Willie Horton ad.

I agree Kerry is a fraud in every way.....but I'm surprised you left out the two MOST ridiculous "images" he projected recently to "remake himself"..

1. Kerry as the shotgunner....who claimed that Deer hunting was his favorite - and that he enjoyed "crawling on my stomach through the woods with my shotgun hunting deer"....
NO ONE hunts deer on their stomach.

2. Kerry on his too expensive road bike --- wearing his yellow "biker's fairy suit"...

Semper Fi
