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.

Can you imagine that hag in the White House? She's almost abrasive enough to make Shrillery seem almost female by comparison.
I wonder what the gross ticket sales would be on a TUHREEEZUH/SHRILLERY mud wrestle?
Throw in Reno and watch the fur really fly.
We might even be able to retire the national debt!
Perhaps we'd get reallllly fortunate and they'd all Fosterize each other in the process . . . termination by unmitigated gaul and offensiveness.

Teresa would make Hillary appear to be 'hands off' in the way the White House and presidency were run. Remember, she OWNS Kerry, and would therefore have a major input on how our nation was run.
Sleep well on that thought.

It really is good stuff. I use it on my feet whenever I have a crack on my heel.

We were floored when our pediatrician suggested Bag Balm for a most severe diaper rash on our first son. We asked if we could get it at a pharmacy and he kinda looked at the floor and muttered..."No...try a feed store."
But it cleared up the rash in just a few days. Good stuff!

Former Senator Alan Simpson made the funniest political reference to Bag Balm just after he retired a few years ago. He said he kept a tin on his desk and used it as an illustration when special interest groups came knocking (in context, I believe he mentioned AARP in particular). The idea was we had too many piglets looking to feed at too few national teats, and the teats we had were all sore from the high demand.

Bag balm is not for horses. It's to moisturize the udders of cows and goats so they don't crack from the sanitizing agents used to sterilize the teats twice a day before milking.
I used to use it on my hands during the winter. Good stuff, but it's become too expensive since it's become popular. Comes in a cute little green tin.
I switched to using Dionne udder balm.

I wonder what Terayza uses to moisturize? Horse lotion? Wonder no more: Neat's foot oil.

Haven't been able to smell for 20+ years.
When Granny wielded that stuff upon kith, kin and cattle, it was purely sulfurous.
[maybe they've 'improved' it since then]...;))

I use Bag Balm. I love it, but it does reek. I wonder if he was trying to cover up the smell of something else?

This is the one thing I agree with. Bag Balm or Udder Balm is great stuff. If you work with your hands, especially outside it is great. Also if you burn your self on a stove or something it is a great salve.
