CAPTION THIS: John Kerry as "Alpha Weenie" - with yellow flower-power zipper pull

From Hindrocket with www.powerlineblog.com:

March 29, 2004
A Ray of Hope

My main reason for optimism, vis a vis the November election, is John Kerry. You probably remember his snowboarding vacation, which we posted a photo or two of last week. But Mrs. Rocket called my attention to this picture, which I hadn't seen:

capt.efa10303232102.democrats_kerry_efa103.jpg

Mrs. Rocket pointed out a detail which had escaped my fashion-oblivious notice, namely, the yellow flower-power zipper pull. The whole look, of course, is appalling: the vest, the gloves, the botox. It is Mrs. Rocket's opinion that the American people will not elect as President a man who wears a vest with a flower power zipper pull.

I think she may be right.

UPDATE: A reader adds: "Thanks for posting that picture of Kerry today. Right now the French are pursing their lips and narrowing their eyes in shrewd appraisal: 'Daisy zipper pull, snowboard with mural graphics, sunglasses hanging from fleece shirt, thin vest-like outer garment. Yes. Clearly this man is the true Alpha Weenie.'''

MORE: A reader from Kentucky writes: "I think I shall be ill. My niece has a flower just like that one. She's seven."

HUGH HEWITT writes: "Just the man to instill fear in the hearts of our enemies."

STILL MORE: Another reader thinks the photo is very funny, but wonders whether the daisy might have been Photoshopped into it. Fear not; the photo is straight from the Associated Press. Her question, though, did cause me to run a search for all photos of Kerry with his snowboard. And it appears that this picture is the only one that shows the flower-power zipper pull. I infer from this that shortly after the photo was taken, a horrified aide noticed the flower and removed it from Kerry's get-up. Leaving only the sunglasses, the vest, the gloves, the board itself and the botox as evidence of Kerry's Alpha Weenie status.

Yes, a song in order, and I can't resist posting this joke my sister sent to me via email this morning. Apologies if any of you have already heard it:

A teacher in a small Vermont town asks her class how many of them are John Kerry fans. Not really knowing what a John Kerry fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raise their hands except one boy. The teacher asks little Johnny why he has decided to be different. Johnny says, "I'm not a John Kerry fan." The teacher says, "Why aren't you a John Kerry fan?"

Johnny says, "I'm a George Bush fan." The teachers asks why he's a George Bush fan. The boy says, "Well my Mom's a George Bush fan and my Dad's a George Bush fan, so I'm a George Bush fan!"

The teacher is kind of angry, because this is Vermont so she asks, "What if your Mom was a moron and your Dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"

Johnny says, "That would make me a John Kerry fan!"

Let me say that, while this is a comparison of masculinity, I was able to catch a football better than this at the age of, oh, say, 6??? And I'm a girl. :o)

LOL...my mom was one of the original members of AMFP, though she quit any anti-war activities when the "leaders" started actively calling for communist victory.

Of course, this was forty years ago :kinisonyell:

LOL-LOL-LOL
I am a little slow this morning....
I was fixated on POTUS, then read your comment,
and thought "what does she mean?" ---
LOL!
Then I happened to glance at Kerry --- LOL-LOL-LOL
Oh my gawd.
He is so pathetic.
What a wimp.
I could kiss the photographer who captured this photo.
With all that Heinz money, I would think they'd buy the rights to it.

And you know what seems so weird to me ?? ....

Kerry snowboarding. Someone his age snowboarding ? I know it's been a few years (5-6) since I went skiing, and in all the times I've been skiing and saw the snowboarders, they were almost all young punks, rebellious types, ya know ?? Or maybe it's catching on now with the older folks too, I don't know ?? ...
