It's hard to put a finger on who Lurch is reminiscent of because he changes his identity several times a day. He's even worse than Albore in attempting to be all things to all people. Remember those Duracell commercials many years ago with that creepy looking family made out of plastic? After the botox, that's who he reminds me of now.

There is another analogy to Al Bore - Gore always tried to prove he was a man, not an empty suit. With Kerry's manly sports pursuits,the bomber jacket,etc., he's trying to tell us that he is equal to a real man - George Bush. I think that picture of our hunky President in that flight suit was more of a challenge to Kerry's masculinity than we could ever conceive.

To see a man of Kerry's age trying to to prove he's masculine in these sports photo-ops, and hearkening back to his youth is creepy. We don't need a CIC who behaves as though he hasn't matured over the years or who is insecure in his own masculinity and that is how Kerry comes across.
