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."

freeping tanlines-----that's funny!!!!
I heard a line yesterday that I'm still laughing about. Someone called Kerry 'tanorexic'!
ROFL! I vote for the Freeper! I vote for the Freeper!
""Kerry Says the Tan's Real"
CBS says the MEMOS are real! LOL"
Orange you just afraid he doesn't know what the meaning of is is. He is so fried. He's toast. Dried up burnt toast.
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.
The tan was real before actually wasn't.
Please, Jim--Do put this one in the hall of humor. I, for one, cannot stop laughing--and re-scrolling--and laughing some more! Freepers do it best!
THANKS to all for making my day start the right way.
Regards . . . Penny

Hey - I live in Georgia, and I can't help it if I get a "farmer tan" on my arms and face just from taking the garbarge out to the curb!!! LOL
Bravo!
LOL, perfect combination!
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)?
