I believe you may be right. The Senator does not look healthy. He frequently takes vacations. Sure, he gets botox injections, but that doesn't explain his pallor and short breaths.
There are better ways to disguise health concerns than portraying the candidate as a 'girlie-man', though! Please, for the sake of sports fans everywhere, this man needs to be banned from participating in any sport! he's starting to make Al Gore look in touch with the average man.
CAPTION: John Kerry plays "touchy-feely" football with estactic, drooling members of the MSM...
The caption should be "Kerry prepares for Hail Mary on November 2nd"
Sack 'em, W!!

Talk show host Bill Maher has been criticized for remarks he made during a recent episode dealing with parenthood in which he concluded that Kerry and mentally retarded children were cut from the same mold. The show, which aired Thursday, featured a panel of four guests who discussed parental responsibilities with "Politically Incorrect" host Maher. |

At one point, Maher told a guest he had John f. Kerry but no children, and added, "I've often said if I had two retarded children, I'd be a hero, and yet Kerry, which is pretty much the same thing - what?" Maher then continued by characterizing mentally retarded children as "sweet," "loving" and "kind, but they don't mentally advance at all." " Kerry is like retarded children," said Maher, who once joked about murdering Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris . One of the panelists then advised Maher that her 9-year-old nephew was mentally retarded and that she never considered him to be "like a little John Kerry." " Well, maybe you should," Maher replied. Maher's assistant in Los Angeles said the talk show host was not available for comment, and no one else was immediately available to issue a statement. Voice of the Retarded Inc. Executive Director Tamie Hopp called Maher's remarks "insensitive," "shocking" and indicative of "his ignorance." " I understand his show often aims for the shock value," Hopp said, "but shock value at the expense of people with mental retardation is really inexcusable." Hopp also said that, had she been a guest on Maher's show that Thursday evening, she "would have taken issue with those statements and worked to explain ... [mentally retarded individuals] are human beings that deserve more confidence in what they've been able to do." Spokesmen with other organizations for mentally retarded persons could not be contacted because of the Martin Luther King birthday holiday. The Arc of the United States, the "nation's leading national organization on mental retardation," according to its Internet site, stressed the importance of preserving the dignity of those with lower intelligence quotients. " People with mental retardation must be treated with dignity and respect and have their dreams and desires acknowledged and acted upon," The Arc stated. "[They must] have the opportunity to advocate for themselves ... with the knowledge that their demands and suggestions will be heard and given fair consideration." |
Grumpy McGramps, an unemployed Kerry staffer, tosses a decent spiral to a receiver while under pressure from his boss.
"'T'wern't too hard," reported the jobless McGramps. "He ain't as spry as those hot-dogging photos show. I made him look bad and he don't appreciate that."
If I had a special needs child, I too would be offended at them being compared to that retard John Kerry.
That one works to. He definetly looks like he's comfortable with it. That only happens if your used to using it.
My God that first pic looks like Ray Bulger--If he only had a brain.
Your right. He reminds me of the Damon Wayans character from In Living Color...HANDY BOY
Yes, Kerry is a walking, talking straw man.
Foghorn Leghorn tries his wing at the football.
No sale. They're holding out for the wrestling photos with Edwards!
Kerry gives Dorks a bad name, when I was growning up and we needed extra people to play football even the dorks in our neighborhood were no where near as gay as Kerry.
"Football? Well, like any other average American guy, I just love the feel of the old horse skin and the exhileration of making that first basket of the game."
