Kerry photo-ops Reagan casket

Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee John Kerry showed up at the Reagan Library on Tuesday afternoon to view the deceased former president’s casket, setting off a firestorm of reaction.

·        At issue: The need for a Kerry visit to the Reagan Library in California. As reported by Rush Limbaugh, a Kerry spokesperson had already announced Kerry would attend the State Funeral for Reagan on Friday in Washington, D.C.

·        At issue: The photographer accompanying Kerry into the Reagan Library. Clear guidelines (handed out to everyone prior to entering the library to view Reagan’s casket) state: “Absolutely no photography will be allowed inside the Library.” A photographer entered slightly ahead of Kerry and took pictures of Kerry while he was there. These pictures were posted as ‘Associated Press’ photos on YahooNews news 30 minutes after Kerry’s visit. [see photo below]

·        At issue: The timing of the Kerry visit to the Reagan Library in California. Dignitaries could view the casket at the Reagan Library in California before the general public or after the general public; or in Washington, D.C. during the time set aside for the other government big wigs to attend. California Governor and Mrs. Schwarzenegger were in attendance during regular public viewing hours at the personal request of Mrs. Reagan – who did not take Kerry’s personal phone call to her, and did not issue an invitation to Kerry.

Official retraction:

A website owner listed himself as a freelance photographer. He also indicated that photographer Jeff Chiu has been associated with his website [for gallery purposes] for about a year. [My mind jumped to assume at that Chiu was also a freelancer.] Further down on the website [which I failed to read yesterday], Jeff Chiu was said to be a 'staff photographer for AP.'

I apology for the confusion and and my misrepresentation of Jeff Chiu. Please accept my humble apology.

Thanks for the ping to this cartoon Arrowhead. I had to copy and past Linda's post to an email and send to some friends. I cannot believe what an opportunist he is -- he must've really studied the master Toon.

Great political cartoon showing the slime ball, who may be even lower than the Clintoons.

Would you please freepmail me the html code for this great cartoon.

I now use SBCGlobal.net, and they prevent copying the html code directly from the photo.

A very well-planned incident. Kerry campaign even ran ads on Fox for a hour or so to coincide with his visit. Real cheeky and cheesy. Looks like Bo Derek waited in line with the real people.
