He is SO pompous and arrogant, not to mention his looks (saw a clip of him side-by-side w/President Bush yesterday - Kerry looked pale and cadaverous, President Bush looked ruddy, smiling and healthy).

I'm not at all convinced that there aren't some really bad aftereffects from his prostate surgery. Guiliani gets prostate cancer and he drops out of the senatorial race. Same with Kerry but he continues running for president. I think his unbotoxed face reflects the state of his health.

You might remind your German friends that Hitler used to dismiss Americans as "cowboys" too.

Hitler's Jump the Shark moment was in the summer of 1941 when he diverted the German drive on Moscow to go south and capture Kiev. His reasoning was that they needed the natural resources of the Ukraine but if Moscow had fallen in the summer of 1941, the Ukraine would have fallen anyways. The failure to take Moscow led to the Wehrmacht's ultimate disaster on the Eastern Front. Hitler had a few lucky early breaks leading him to believe he was infallible. It turned out his strategic thinking was no higher than that of an army corporal.

Well, I certainly don't wish him ill health (just want him to lose the election), but you may be right. There hasn't been anything said about the state of his health since his prostate cancer. That should definitely be an issue.

The health of the president is ALWAYS an issue.

It was when he had the Botox injections and then denied having them.

Although it was really doomed from the start, Sargeant Shriver's 1976 nomination campaign Jump the Shark moment came when he ordered beers for some blue collar guys in a bar and then ordered a Couvessoir (sp?) for himself.

Unfortunately, George Bush senior's Jump the Shark moment came when he checked his watch during the debates.

Kerry's Jump the Shark moment came when he saluted and said he was "Reporting for Duty.".

The fact that he's taken a vacation every couple of weeks in the midst of a close, heated presidential campaign tells me he lacks the necessary stamina (although it's possible his "vacations" are just Botox breaks). This stupid bus tour is going to do him in, and I wouldn't be surprised if the schedule changes.

I like to think he meant, "Reporting for Doody" (his pet name for Teresa).

The South's Jump the Shark moment was when Stonewall Jackson was killed at Chancellorsville. After that it was pretty much downhill for the Confederacy, starting with Gettysburg and the fall of Vicksburg.

Kerry reminds me of a garish traveling life insurance salesman in a cheap polyester suit.

I never watch creepy teenage Beaver. For some reason he reminds me of the Hitler cloned kid in "Boys From Brazil".

I had forgotten that SNL skits,,one of the funniest ever. Poor Kitty , she was the object of so much humor.

My fave jump moment was when al gore all oranged up withmake up , sidled over into Bush's space at one of the debates, acting like a macho sort of robot,,,then Bush looked over at him, nodded his head toward him looking sort of amused and never lost a beat. Gore looked like an utter fool. It was my favorite moment in any debate ever and won the election for GWB.

Whenever I see this picture, I think of the parasites scurrying around in Jason Giambi's bowels.

Kerry's salute was the lamest I've ever seen delivered by anyone who was actually taught how to salute in the military.

His left eye must be paralyzed by his Botox shot. Look at his reporting for duty salute.

Wow, so many choices, so little time. Hmmm. When he appeared after the first botox treatment? Or when he went in for the second one after faking that 'fall' on the bus. When he pranced onstage and said he'd been born in the West Wing?

The fall in Utah or wherever that was he was skiing, and he swore at the secret service agent while his flunkies made sure there were no pictures. The daisy doodad. His attempt to catch that football.

All those inappropriate pictures with Edwards, who, by the way, looks like that famous hamster. (That might be the attraction.) Every single picture of him attempting athletic endeavours, including that $7000 bike, plus helmet and suit. His blue bunny suit with the hose up the bum has to be in the top five, but that picture of him jabbing a forefinger at two Marines in McDonald's was bad.

When he gave the finger to the Vietnam vet at the war memorial? That town hall where he told someone to sit down and shut up. Every time the billionare dominatrix opens her mouth he has a bad day. And that's another thing. When is she going to decide that throwing good money after bad isn't smart? Kerry isn't going to like that one bit. She'll try to buy the election, and when she realizes he's in freefall, at some point she'll say NO MORE MONEY. He'll have to flip flop again and take public funds. Ha ha. Boy, Hillary must be laughing up her sleeve and picking out her coronation gown for four years hence.
