This is insane. The Kerry Camp released the freaking pictures themselves! The images taken on JFK's *REQUEST* were given to him by KSC on CD. KSC and NASA in general does not release photos "same day", as procedures slow the process. This is such BS, and the sheeple don't know any better.

Hatch Act rules. If Kerry were just a Senator on a junket it would be okay. But the images are public domain now--too late.

images ordered off the website due to concerns over the off chance that this impotent clown will actually get elected, and then slash our funding in a fit of childish rage. DYKWIA?

The heart and soul of this story is Kerry's inability to really connect with the common man. Yes, Kerry looks like a grinning boob in that bunny suit; but who wouldn't?!? For cryin' out loud! The guy's getting up close and personal with a space shuttle! If you take any "common man", dress him in a bunny suit, and turn him loose in the space shuttle, you'll get that same goofy grin every time. But Kerry is so image conscious that he cannot embrace the very same reactions any of us would have in such a position. This is why he always looks so stiff and posed. What you see in the bunny suit is one of his rare, natural moments. Why he should want to run away from that is beyond my ability to comprehend. My only guess would be that after 30+ years of playacting at this public persona, he's unable to stop.

It is not insane. NASA, as a government agency should never have provided Kerry and friends the photo-op in the first place.

There used to be a time when Kerry never seemed to smile, always that that scary expression. He looked better then. His grin looks stupid, so does Edwards.'

[mewzilla]

Rush Limbaugh keeps talking about how Kerry's campaign manager used to work for Teddy K. Well, she used to work for the Toon admin, too. And with a Kerry campaign staff so full of Toon retreads, who needs an opponent? NASA didn't leak that pic. And its release was no accident.

This is such BS, and the sheeple don't know any better.

Let's stop the sheeple talk right here. Years ago on FreeRepublic we had a bevy of political elitists sneering at the "sheeple" and it sucked.

NEVER TRUST SOMEONE WHO CAN'T LAUGH AT THEM SELVES.

If this would of been Reagan or George W Bush, (who both had/have wonderful a since of humor) they would of made some fun of the picture them selves, putting it to rest. Not girlyman Kerry. He's freaking over the release.

[Brett66]

Well these pics are on my personal webspace and they're staying there at least past Novemeber:

Might that be "booby hatch act?"

THE HATCH ACT

[Hank Rearden]

Do I have to turn in the thousands of copies I've stored on my hard drives?

I suppose I could email them to everybody I know; eventually they'll work their way back to NASA, where they can be destroyed per the order.
