KERRY SAYS THE TAN'S REAL BUT IT'S EASY TO FAKE IT
New York Post ^ | 9/30/04 | MICHAEL KANE

September 30, 2004 -- JOHN Kerry is one bronzed candidate - or is that tan-di-date?

The Democratic nominee and windsurfing enthusiast says he picked up his brand-new glow at a football game last week in Massachusetts - just in time for tonight's first presidential debate.

But can a rain-drenched New Yorker get a Kerry glow in time for the debate?

To find out, I tried the friendly folks at Hollywood Tans on 25th Street and Sixth Avenue.

"I want to look like John Kerry," I announced.

The staff at the front desk laughed.

"I saw that photo," said staffer Iris Elton. She said she wasn't sure they could pull off a pumpkin-orange glow - "but we can make you look really dark," she said.

"How long do you think that would take?"

Elton thought it over.

"Six seconds," she said. "That's for the full-body Instant Tan, which will last about four days."

I heard a line yesterday that I'm still laughing about. Someone called Kerry 'tanorexic'!

So, he got such a deep tanning playing football in Wisconsin in September, but he didn't get anything close to such a tan windsurfing in July or August? Yeah, right.

talking about this man's tan is giving him the perverse satisfaction of getting what he craves: stimulation of his vanity. In this way, he is kindred to bill clinton.

these pussies make me sick.

Kerry is after the tanning/plastic surgery/botox community vote.

Someone on another site suggested he did it to divert discussion from issues and Swiftboat ads, then show up with a new, improved face.

On the more serious side, somebody posted earlier that a plastic surgeon observed the "Orange Man effect" is the result of what the DR described as a spray-on tan product that is used to "cover the injection sites from botox treatments which do bruise post-operatively" and that "it is possible that due to Kerry's reported sweating problem that botox injections were used to temporally paralize the small sweat glands in the upper lip, as well as remove wrinkles."

Jeepers, I was just thinking-----what if Kerry had a bad reaction right in the middle of the debate? The paralyzing 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 (smirk)?
