KERRY ON ORANGE ALERT: SKIN TRANSITION ON EVE OF DEBATE

Just days before Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry is set to take the stage in a debate opener projected to be seen by 70 million, photos show the senator dramatically taking on color.

Is it the late September Wisconsin sun during debate prep that has turned Kerry's face to rich pumpkin-colored hues? Or has he been campaigning in the rust-belt?

Kerry advisers defend the sudden deep tan transition, noting how it simply was from a game of flag football last Friday in Bedford, Mass.

But the College Democrats who met Kerry were surprised by his rich tan glow -- before the game even began, the HARVARD CRIMSON reports.

Botox and fake tans ... just the sort of metrosexual cake-boy we need in the White House to go up against people that train for years to fly planes into our buildings, and videotape themselves beheading fathers, and live to die in glorious Jihad.

A President Kerry might actually have an effect on terrorism ... they will be too busy laughing to cut off any heads.

Wasps are very intelligent and have great eyesight. I had a nest on my sailboat one year. They didn't bother my regular crew but got agitated whenever a stranger came aboard. They would follow the boat until we got about a half mile away from shore and would meet us about that far out when we returned.

I had a nest above my front door. They wouldn't even spread their wings when I came home but if anyone else was with me they got agitated. They would attack anyone who wasn't with me.

Maybe the yellow bracelet is a GPS locater device, so that Edwards can always find out where Kerry is.

His eyes are going different directions.

Look carefully & you'll notice that in lots of kerry photos. He has lazy eye.

You hit it exactly! I don't think anyone could really be comfortable being "who[the Dems]are."

You know, I just love FReepers! Where else could I get good cosmetic advice on removing orange tan stuff while I'm getting my political fix? This was interesting stuff.

I have it from a plastic surgeon that the "Orange Man effect" is the result of what is described as a spray on tan product

If you've ever seen a bodybuilding show you'll recognize it immediately. Its just a spray on tan so that they look a lot better up on stage. They look "normal" on stage, but off they're freaky looking.

I'm guessing Kerry took it a little too far. Its better to have some tan when on TV, but he's not going to go out for Mr Olympia any time soon.

Funny you mention that. I saw him on the AM news and the shot caught the back of his head. I thought it looked like Ron Popiel's Ronco Spray-on Hair.

john kerry decides to be honest with the American voter.

"I think they'll accept me for who I am"

The REAL story is that they LIE when they dont have to LIE.

If they had just admitted "yeah he applied a tanning lotion" it would not be nearly as funny.

They lie when the lie makes them look even stupider than the truth.

Come on, people.

He's just getting into the upcoming holiday spirit just a bit early. It's a nice, seasonal color.

What I can't understand about the lie is that its so easily shot down: no one gets freaky orange from a couple hours of playing flag football. Doesn't anyone at Kerry HQ ever think these things through? I can't tell if they're just dumb or are so arrogant they think everyone will accept what they say.

Jeepers, what if Kerry has a bad reaction right in the middle of the debate?

The botox could migrate from his sweat glands to his vocal chords, and render him incapable of speaking.

That would be really horrible wouldn't it?

What is Kerry's latest reaction to the suntan or is he sticking to the original lie?

"I was visiting the zoo, and when the guide said 'orangutan' I thought he said 'orange tan' - sounded good to me so I went for it..."
