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

"The wind is blowing in this direction, so this is my position on that subject....today."

He must stick that finger up like that at least half a dozen times a day to check which way the winds are blowing. Just about every day there's a photo of him with his arms spread out wide, or that finger stick in someone's face, or something equally as peculiar.

I noticed that about his wrist. Maybe I'm wrong, but it does look as though he's lost weight during this campaign, and he didn't have much to spare to begin with.

There are so many photos of Kerry sticking that boney finger up in the air or in someone's face, that I'm surprised someone didn't break it off long ago.

Is there anyone who knows about pitching who can tell me about that "claw" grip he throws with? Is he changing his grip based on past criticism on FR?

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Notice how the photo is all about Kerry, and how he always seems to grimace as he tries to throw a ball. Maybe his throwing arm is the one that needed "surgery" that time when he disappeared off the campaign trail for a couple of weeks, only to show up with a newly Botoxed face.

Laughing my arse off -- those two photos belong in one of the Dork Saga threads.

Would love to see someone stick their finger up in his face or poke at his chest like he did with the Marine....

Can't answer questions about throwing grips, but while we're focusing on his claws, did you notice that the angle of the photo makes it look like Kerry's left hand is missing? Wonder if TeRAYza was particularly miffed at the time?! [snicker]

Me too. Can't happen with the Secret Service around, sigh. But maybe if Kerry loses the election...

Looks like he's trying to throw a knuckleball, or maybe a perverted forkball. But there isn't that much follow-through on a knuckleball, making Kerry, again, a sports knucklehead.

Er, how about this ...

"I held back," Mr. Kerry told reporters early this morning, on the plane ride after the game. "He was very nervous. I tried to lob it gently."
