He may be warm in person, but he sure doesn't convey it.

I've heard over the years that he primarily manages to convey it to the rich and powerful. Of course, my main source is probably Howie Carr, though -- in Ann Coulter's formulation -- he's snookering those rich broads somehow.

Kerry says that his mom said "integrity, integrity, integrity" to him. ... And notice that she had to use the word three times with him, not usually a good sign between moms and sons.

Yep, not a good sign. =)

This should contina a warning to the G.O.P. for 2008 (I know it's still early). The last member of Congress elected to the Presidency was J.K.F., four out of the last five (including current) presidents were formerly governors. The Republican candidate in 2008 should be a governor not a senator.

.............. appears to have lost his tan,................

True, he's lost his orange glow but unless it was my TV set, his face appeared to be tan (stage makeup) but his ears stuck out white as paper plates. I couldn't help but think of Howdy Doody or Who Me Worry every time I looked at him :-)

I've seen that before,I just can't believe that Dustin Hoffman is married to John[cash&]Kerry. Wouldn't that be considered "marrying down" by Mr. Hoffman? Thanks

"John F*ckin' needs a permanent recurring role on SNL -not a four year stint in the White House."

What he really needs is a recurring role just like that played by Michael Dukakis and Ross Perot.

I think THK has a bigger adams apple.

John Roberts was acting as anchor when the Virgin Islands were hit by a hurricane a few years back and asked the CBS reporter on the scene, "When will the virgins be back on their feet?" - idiot!
