There isn't a woman alive who won't sympathise with Democrat John Kerry for doing what he did this week.
Who among us has not done the same thing? That is, made a stupid, stupid decision regarding our appearance right before a Very Important Event.
Senator Kerry, who is trying to win the race for the White House, hit the bottle. The fake tan bottle. Or maybe the sun bed. No one is sure. But whatever, the day before this morning's all important first TV debate with President George Bush, Senator Kerry turned orange.
Not a little bit orange. His face is like a Halloween pumpkin. Or, as the New York Post put it, Senator Kerry, who is from icy Boston, has a tan "even George Hamilton would envy".
Talk-back callers had a good chuckle. America's top-rating comedian, Jay Leno, said Senator Kerry's face (like a city faced with terrorism) was on "orange alert". Matt Drudge, who runs the Drudge Report website, wondered whether he had been campaigning "in the rust belt".
The tan was so obvious that the Kerry camp, which really wants to get back to debating the big issues, such as war, was forced to explain it. They said Senator Kerry got the tan at a football match. The New York Post didn't buy it, nor did anybody else. Dr Ted Daly, of Garden City Dermatology, said: "Wow! That is a tan. From a tanning salon."
The New York Sun said Senator Kerry's "sudden, orangey-bronze glow" was highly unlikely to be the real deal. It quoted Cynthia House, of Enhance Me, who said: "It's an artificial tan. They went a little overboard."

I remember that particular quip from "Back to the Future (Part I)"; but it might be elsewhere.
Nope. Can't say I relate and I sure don't sympathize!
Yeah, it should. But the character was always messing up sayings.
That would be "Back to the Future", my friend. It's a quote from Biff, directed at Marty (MJ Fox)
All of us did, when were YOUNG AND FOOLISH.
He's OLD and foolish, and should know better.
Day-Glo orange is best left to Martha Stewart.
I know George Hamilton, George Hamilton is a friend of mine, John Fn Kerry is no George Hamilton.
Time for Kerry to get a call into Michael Jackson.
I bet they will cake him down with layers of makeup to coverup the problem...If not, we need to make sure it gets mentioned on every news program in the country. Consciously or unconsciously, I think people view people who visit tanning booths (especially MEN!) as vain and overly self-centered.
If Canthaxanthin pills are the cause of the orange skin color, Kerry is can't just laugh it off since these pills are not FDA approved and are basically illegal in the U.S....
Exactly. Libs are so conniving.
I thought it was from BTTF Part 2 and it was "Future Biff" correctiing "1955 Biff".
I took a new girlfriend to Mexico over the Labor day holiday some years ago. The day we left, she decided to get her hair done as a redhead.
I went to Mexico with a girl with bright purple hair. It didn't particularly bother me that we stood out in a crowd--but she was very embarassed.
And this from Durk Pearson’s and Sandy Shaw’s #1 best selling book LIFE EXTENSION....
"There is another carotenoid, Canthaxanthin, which is very closely related to beta carotene. This is the material that makes flamingos and certain shellfish pink. We think it provides better protection from ultraviolet light and singlet oxygen than beta carotene, and it colors the skin a beautiful natural-looking golden-copper tan when taken orally."
From another web site...
"When you take a dose of Canthaxanthin in pill form, the coloring adheres to the fatty layer just under the skin. You will effectively dye this fatty layer, and because your skin is translucent it shows through giving you the appearance of a fantastic tan."
For what it's worth, I'd bet the farm it's tanning PILLS...not a tanning bed or spray.... and most definitely NOT the sun....
Pray for W and Our Troops
Anyone up to dressing as John Kerry for Halloween? A Frankenstein mask painted orange with grey hair. Just add shirt and tie.
Well, I don't think it's a tan, chemical or otherwise.
He got drunk and went to bed with a big bag of Cheetos that flat kicked his rear.
Limbaugh opened his show today with an inside view of Jessie Jackson joining the campaign.
Jackson: "John, what happened? You are a person of color now. You need professional help. Let me make a call"
"Hello, Michael? We have an emergency. No, you don't have to leave the country..."
They turned up the music. "Super Freak".
