Out-of-touch, elitist Massachusetts liberal? What would give people that idea?
Wind-surfing doesn't look good on anybody over forty.
And Kerry's vacations from his vacations look bad on a rich man.
"The New York Times is SUCH a JOKE," sneered another poster on freerepublic.com. She continued, "There are few things more pathetic than the most pompous legacy media establishment (NYT) continuing to operate under the delusion that it is relevant."
The NYT can quote me on that. I even wrote the quote for them so they'll get it right when they plagerize it.
John Kerry to Watery Tart: "I WILL NOT HAVE MY PACKAGE QUESTIONED!!!"
Let's see, he's losing...it must be image. Yeah, that's it. It's image. And those terrible Republicans are winning because they're so much better at...image-building! Yeah, that's it! Image-building!
"These pictures capture him running from one vacation activity to another in pastimes that are really for a much younger generation."
"He married the all-inclusive package. EVERYTHING is included."

Any kite surfers out there? If so, what do you think of the sport? I am SERIOUSLY interested in this.
What package? :O)
You beat me to it, Tamsey :-)
Personally, I don't have a problem with Kerry windsurfing, snowboarding, or any of that. I think it's petty to mock a guy's leisure activities and clothing. (Ahem. Anyone remember what they said about George Bush's barbecues, brush clearing, cowboy hats, flight suit, etc.?)
You have helped shape history!
WT has been missing in action for a couple of weeks.

> If a liberal drives an S.U.V., it's the car of the elite, if a Republican drives one it's instantly the car of the common man. They have a whole stereotype that they've spent years building.
It's all about character. This is a no-win for Kerry. Either he's a phony trying to look relevant, or he's an elitist playing with his expensive toys.
> After all, no one made fun of John F. Kennedy for all those yachting photos.
Guess she didn't spend too much time here, eh? Her heart probably wouldn't bear talking about the photoshops...
The point is, they're blaming his image, the fact that Kerry looks so unnatural, on us.
Woo Hoo! Found him!

They sure picked one of the tamer "sneers."
Kerry needs to act his age. A wetsuit on a sixty two year old is silly.
Ah! You beat me to it :)
Be even funnier if THEY came up with it and decided to claim that it came from here!
Go FREEPERS!!
