I think Teresa & Liz are trying to show they are just like ordinary citizens. Plain clothes, no jewelry, no makeup, no hairstyles.

This was probably proposed to them by "advisers" to the kerry camp. "Don't appear flashy, well-to-do," blah, blah, blah. Because everyone knows how wealthy the kerry and edwards are.

That's my take.

. Take FOX for example, last night they had Greta Van Sustern, Mara Liasson and that croaking toad of a woman Susan Estrich.

The make-up people in Boston are excellent--all three women were very well made up. Greta has had cosmetic surgery and has the guts to admit to it. I have no idea as to what Mara has had done. As to your great discription of the 'toad woman', I will comment on this later, after a I clean up my monitor screen and keyboard! LOL

I don't know when I have laughed as much as the last four days!

Love the picture of Rudy. Evidently the question was particularily inane.

These reporters are either easily fooled or think we are. The tones of affection I'm hearing in their voices today---and MSNBC impressed that Edwards didn't say the names "Bush and Cheney" in his speech last night, and then claiming this marks a change from the normal attack dog position of the VP candidate. BS, MSNBC. Edwards played the part of attack dog.

Let's remember these happy voices from reporters and compare to the worried and concerned attitude they'll adopt when the Republican convention rolls around.

Judy and Katie will go from happy faces to frowny faces.

Has Hillary made her move yet to steal the nomination from JFK?

What's Hot/What's Not covers more than political news on this thread! Thanks for the fashion news ("regular person" here in her jeans!)

These threads have kept me laughing and sane throughout.

To: Howlin; All

When you're listening to Kerry talk about his great hero-ness, remember this song from the BBC's Red Dwarf TV show...

If you're in trouble he will save the day
He's brave and he's fearless, come what may
Without him the mission would go astray
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
Without him life would be much grimmer
He's handsome trim, and no-one slimmer
He will never need a zimmer.

He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
More reliable than a garden strimmer
He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner
He's not bald and his head doesn't glimmer.

Master of the wit and the repartee
His command of Space Directives is uncanny
How come he's such a genius? Don't ask me.
Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
He's also a fantastic swimmer
And if you play your cards right then-he-just-might
Come round for dinner.

He's Arnold Arnold Arnold Rimmer,
No rhymes left now apart from Qwimmer.
I hope they fade out before we get to shimmer
Fade out you stupid Rimmer

Same here & I don't have 50 million bucks, the kerry's have one billion! Of course it's all Heinz money.

I look better at home, than they do in front of millions of people.

News flash from Medved:

J Edwards was named Johnny Reed Edwards by his parents - dropped the "ny" when he began to practice law.
