Tan in a bottle doesn't wash off, but it looks orange on many people, and apparently on Kerry.
I seem to remember that in Kennedy vs Nixon, JFK I had good makeup and Nixon had lousy makeup. I think Kerry wanted a "natural" tan, as opposed to makeup, and screwed it up.
A goof at my college got drunk and used 'tan in a bottle' - turned his palms orange, and white lines between his fingers...speaking of fingers, I wonder if sKerry will trim his long girlie-man fingernails - they are a fitting match to his lizard tongue. Creepy!
