There isn't a woman alive who won't sympathise with Democrat John Kerry for doing what he did this week.
Who among us has not done the same thing? That is, made a stupid, stupid decision regarding our appearance right before a Very Important Event.
Senator Kerry, who is trying to win the race for the White House, hit the bottle. The fake tan bottle. Or maybe the sun bed. No one is sure. But whatever, the day before this morning's all important first TV debate with President George Bush, Senator Kerry turned orange.
Not a little bit orange. His face is like a Halloween pumpkin. Or, as the New York Post put it, Senator Kerry, who is from icy Boston, has a tan "even George Hamilton would envy".
Talk-back callers had a good chuckle. America's top-rating comedian, Jay Leno, said Senator Kerry's face (like a city faced with terrorism) was on "orange alert". Matt Drudge, who runs the Drudge Report website, wondered whether he had been campaigning "in the rust belt".
The tan was so obvious that the Kerry camp, which really wants to get back to debating the big issues, such as war, was forced to explain it. They said Senator Kerry got the tan at a football match. The New York Post didn't buy it, nor did anybody else. Dr Ted Daly, of Garden City Dermatology, said: "Wow! That is a tan. From a tanning salon."
The New York Sun said Senator Kerry's "sudden, orangey-bronze glow" was highly unlikely to be the real deal. It quoted Cynthia House, of Enhance Me, who said: "It's an artificial tan. They went a little overboard."

Not today, but freeper itsnevertoolate has a Daily Kerry Crack-ups thread. In yesterday's, photo #1 had an odd color line between his face and his neck.
Kerry, you missed an opportunity. Again. We'd have liked you better and admitted to foolish thwarted vanity and joined us in a laugh.
The orange in his face brings out the whiteness of his teeth - maybe that's what he was going for.
He's from New England. Changes color in the Fall.
This is an absolutely wonderful story. Thanks for giving me a great laugh.
You got my vote for the best quip on this subject!

Gore may have been made of wood, but Kerry shows fall colors. LOL.
That much tan from either the sun or a tanning bed would require a couple of days of being red, which didn't happen. So, this "tan" was sprayed on, perhaps by the renowned makeup artist, Earl Scheib.
I've heard he had an appointment with Michael Jackson's dermatologist this morning. I should have bought Clorox futures last night.
This guy lies about everything. When faced with a choice between the truth and a lie, by instinct he grabs the lie. And he didn't have to lie about the tan. He could have said something cute and snappy, like "I just wanted to get some color in my cheeks for the debate - I was afraid someone would call Dr. Kevorkian. Now, I'm afraid someone will carve me for Halloween!" But no - he had to lie. He just can't help it - its all he knows how to do. How sad.
He is one of those GOOFY brides who for her wedding day does a total makeover for one day and looks nothing like herself and a joke in her photos from the day.
Sad : (
What movie was it that had 'Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here'?
Girley-men who attempt to act macho.
"Maybe he has a lot of melanin?"
I think you forgot to complete your question.
I believe you meant to ask; "Maybe he has a lot of melon in his head?"
sKerry can be acurately described as being a melon head, or a pumpkin head in this case. (:
John Kerry is not orange. He just has a good tangerine.
Anybody here have a pic of Algore looking orange at his first debate in 2000? He looked like a rouged up space alien.
