Odd photo: John Kerry being condescending to his African-American aide?
Reuters via Yahoo News Photos ^ | 8/19/04

Posted on 08/19/2004 3:15:17 PM PDT by Wolfstar

A news report posted on another thread indicates that John Kerry was not happy about the reception he received at the VFW convention. He was ticked that his staff said he'd get a warm reception, but instead it was cool, if not downright cold.

This photo shows Kerry in what appears to be a fully condescending mode toward his black aide. Kerry's face is grim and stern. His eyebrows are raised and he's wagging that finger at the poor aide, who looks startled.

Here's Yahoo's caption: U.S. Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry talks to his campaign trip director Setti Warren (L) before a 'Front Porch Visit' on health care in Derry, New Hampshire August 19, 2004. Kerry accused U.S. President George W. Bush of using surrogates to 'do his dirty work,' as the Democratic presidential challenger hit back on Thursday at a Republican assault on his Vietnam War record. REUTERS/Brian Snyder US ELECTION

Ya, Kerry could do that.

I can see him grinning as he used his Zippo lighter to torch that VC village.

A horrible, nasty, scary little man.

Now THAT is condescending -- even if the staffer (servant) "volunteered" to let himself be used as a human table.

Late???

Okay, you started it. I've got two (count em) racks of ribs on the smoker. Dry rubbed with brown sugar, garlic, black and red pepper, kosher salt, paprika and a hint of chinese mustard. On the side, home grown zuccini... these will be sliced in half inch disks, egg washed and dredged in a combo of egg/milk wash, soda cracker crumbs, cajun spices and flour dredge, and fried in butter. That's it. Grab a couple paper towels and sit yerself down. Yum.

We'll have salad tomorrow, then MRE's for the weekend (yup, goin to camp till the race on Sunday.)

Kerry gets more weird by the day, Maggie. And M2C, there he is with that odd steepeled hand gesture again. Is it really a Buddhist thing as some FReepers have said?

That is #1 on my list of Kerry's most devastating photos.

Presidential candidate John Kerry bounces a baseball off the forehead of a little-leaguer while insensitive jocks laugh. In background Ted Kennedy, member of the reanimated living dead, attempts to walk a straight line as part of a sobriety test.

Your post is hilarious. I especially love the way you skewered Kennedy.

You know the rule -- anyone you make hungry with smells emanating from your backyard cookout (or descriptions thereof), you have to feed.

Gee. Hope that song doesn't stick in your head all night. Huh

Actually, that song is usually running. The rest of the time it's a tossup between Ave Maria and Texas Flood by Steevie Ray Vaughn.

Ever get Allentown stuck in yer head? Sheesh.

My neighbor leaned over the fence one afternoon when we were BBQing, and told me she'd just called the fire department. She added... and boy, are those fireguys are hungry.
