this is ludicrous, i heard the Kerry campaign refer to it as GAME SHOW LIGHTS. any oral argument before a federal court of appeals has the same set up with lights. yellow to indicate you are getting close to the end of your allotted time and red when you have to shut up. these lights are perfectly appropriate.
He's been AWOL from the senate so long he's forgotten these are the same lights used in senate hearings.
Hmm....maybe Kerry's worried about how the color of the bulb will "reflect" on his er...uh.....tan??
