MAD ABOUT COWS (Kerry moisturizes with bovine Bag Balm)

NY POST ^ | September 24, 2004 | RICHARD JOHNSON PAGE SIX

AND now for something udder-ly different: John Kerry (above) likes to lubricate his chapped lips with Bag Balm, the Vermont ointment farmers have used on cows for more than 100 years to treat dry and cracked udders and teats.

During a recent campaign stop in Greensboro, N.C., Kerry's handlers realized they didn't have a makeup artist to prepare the presidential contender for a televised speech.

A Lancome counter girl at a local department store was called in to touch Kerry up.

We're told he asked if she had a tin of Bag Balm, but she urged him to pick from a basket of creams and lotions meant for human use.

:^) My pleasure.

To increase brain blood flow, why not massage your head with Bag Balm? But don't tell Kerry this little secret....I'm afraid he might steal it to prepare for the debates.

[Veto!]

healing pin pricks refers to quilters? Who knew? I had a different mental image in mind.

[spodefly]

Cows for Kerry!

[Liz]

I stand corrected.....LOL.

[LiberalBassTurds]

That is a funny pic!

[Gucho]

"Hey Kerry why the hell did ya' kiss your horse's ass?" Kerry: "Well, I have chapped lips" Old Timer: "So are ya' sayin' that will cure chap lips?" Kerry: "Nope ... but it sure keeps me from lickin' em!"

[Salamander]

OMG!
Look what's hovering over your post!

LMAO!

[Veto!]

Glad to know that this stuff works. I've seen it around the corner at a gardening store and always got a kick out of the name.

The new CBS logo.

" You know where these have been, don't you?"

[Quix]

It's great stuff.

But the smell is not minor and not very esthetic.

[Liz]

I question the timing of that post.

[Quix]

Great line!

Like I said, the jar is great for the body..and I tried it on my face and love it. It doesn't clog the skin either, but the old fashioned can is so good as a curative for any part of the body. We in the east swear by it.

[Quix]

More like turpentine.

[LiberalBassTurds]

Hehe thank you Quix. :^)

"healing pin pricks refers to quilters? Who knew? I had a different mental image in mind."

LOL!

Kerry gets his Bag Balm from MOOOOOOOOOOVE ON.

[Watery Tart]

Same shade, I think.

I've used Bag Balm on cows, but I can't take the smell or the feel for personal use.

Udder Cream is great, though. It's the only thing that soothes the excema on my hands. My doctor recommended it, saying that it would help more than anything he could prescribe.
