Kerry Sticks Finger In Marine's Chest -- NOT! Here's the Proof

The question is: "Is Kerry sticking his bony, well-manicured, girly, index finger in the chest of the Marine pictured here?"

The answer is "No."

After optimizing the pic with Photoshop and Image Optimizer, what looks like Kerry's finger is actually the top piece of a wooden frame that holds a mirror and is attached to the window.

There is another mirror just like it behind the Marine, to the right of his elbow.

Actually NOBODY can see four fingers bent back..There are only THREE. (count them)

I can think of two explanations

• Kerry has 4 fingers on his left hand or
• Kerry's true believers have developed a new math in which

5 - 1 = 3

"And again, the idea that Wendy's would have a framed ANYTHING hanging at such a grotesque angle is ridiculous."

Exactly... the angles are divergent (or convergent going the other way). If it were a "mirror" frame the angles would be parallel. Plus, no one has mentioned that there's sunlight coming between the finger and the shoulder, where the "mirror" would have to be if it were. Also sunlight between the end of Kerry's sleeve and the marines sleeve. There could be no sunlight there if it were a "mirror"/advertisments etc.

AMEN!!! the only question i have is "how did skerry manage to walk away from the situation without his ass being kicked up over his shoulders?

Answer is: Decorum...some have it...dem politicians don't...but skerry should say 100 hail marys and donate a million bucks to the church that he is still able to walk upright cause he/she certainly had divine intervention.

just my opinion.

I only see three fingers curled back and one pointing at the Marine. I have no clue what else you're seeing.

I did see what looked a bit like a nail in bimboeruption's enlargement. But I was curious as to whether or not that nail-looking object was truly there, or if instead the "enlargement" was a doctored photograph, as someone else on this thread has suggested. So I opened up my Photoshop and brought a copy of the pic in from another thread, and then enlarged on that spot. I don't see that object that she says is a fingernail. I think she used the airbrush tool while she was enlarging, and forgot to mention that.

Here I've increased the gamma to 3.1 and blown up the image 400%. No other manipulation.

It's his index finger.

Sorry to post this again, but I just wanted to clear this up once and for all.

You cleared up nothing. If another framed advertisement were hanging on that window, it would appear several inches lower - down by Kerry's cuff. It would also have to be hanging at a crazy angle in order to align as you suggest.

Per Occam's Razor... it's JF'nK's finger. C'mon... a picture/mirror frame? You can do better than that.

Put the crack pipe and baggie down, and step away from your computer.

This whole post is sleight of hand. We're all arguing about his fingers instead of laughing our *sses off about his wussy polling numbers.

It worked! It worked!

BBWWAAAHHHHAAAAaAA

The part you refer to as a part of the mirror can not be because it extends past the marines upper body.

Homicide mirror?!?!

[armymarinemom]

I'm not so sure about that. Sorry, but this is a large graphic and will be removed soon. If this is a frame it is in front of his collar.

[EggsAckley]

Okay. I see what you mean. The enlargement clearly shows four fingers. Not sure I can see the other wooden thing, but your explanation makes sense.

BUT.....it still looks a bit like a threatening gesture to me. JMHO, of course.

Thanks.

I'm amazed that no one has asked this question yet, but isn't this what Kerry's point man gets paid to do?

[Don Carlos]

"Secondly, his index finger is NOT that long"

Nobody's is! If BJC had an index finger that long, Monica would still be recovering from her sore throat!

[Quix]

Ahhhh welll, it would have been in character for him to have done so.

[bboop]

Yup, I agree -- it's hung crooked, a different color from the other one AND K only has four fingers?? I don't think so.

[Bluntpoint]

You are messing with true believers here.

It will be a finger to them as long as Kerry is a Democrat.

But, you are right. Don't let the kooks concern you here.
