Knight Ridder reporter Tom Fitzgerald, covering Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign, filed this tidbit Sunday from a campaign stop in Ohio:
"At one point, Kerry seemed a little irony-challenged. He greeted a young man in a 'Titanic Swim Team' T-shirt and asked what events he swam. The embarrassed kid said he was actually on his high school track team. 'So you stole the shirt?' Kerry joked. 'I thought you were on the swim team. You faked me out there.' "

What a Dork.
I read it was "Michael Keaton"
Umm, I don't get it.
What is the Titanic Swim Team shirt supposed to be? A parody?
Boat sinks, people have to swim. Lame humor T-shirt
This guy is to dim to be President. Mr. Nuance didn't get the irony, priceless.

Yes, its lame.
Another way to look at it is that the T-shirt is a fitting
example of the Kerry campaign/presidency.
Never quite making it...doomed from the start.
Quoting Hugh Hewitt,
"My argument remains that Kerry's performance in Thursday's debate badly damaged his candidacy, but in a way that many in the media missed with its collective preoccupation with Bush's demeanor on the split screen and his failure to provide devastating comebacks at every turn. In this shared reaction, the punditry and Kerry campaign hands resemble the folks on board the Titantic in the minutes after its meeting with the iceberg: "Well, that wasn't so bad," they told each other. Three hours later, it was a very different picture."

Now that is FUNNY!!!!
Oh my.
If Bush had failed to detect the obvious-but-lame humor of a "Titanic Swim Team" t-shirt, it would be on the front page.
Someone should do a photoshop of Kerry fitting Edwards with a "mansierre."
"It's a race to the bottom, sir. And everybody loses - just like America if you win the election."
... a "Bro"
