Rumor has it that John Kerry got one of those spray-on tans (http://www.usatoday.com/life/2003-07-14-spray-tan_x.htm) popular with actors and other public figures these days. It looks good on them, but it makes Mr. Kerry look like a pumpkin. The Kerry Campaign maintains that Senator Kerry was just a bit flustered and hot after a game of flag football, but this Harvard Crimson article (http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=503497) might be contradictory.
"Ten members of the Harvard College Democrats helped carry the Kerry campaign one piece of luggage at time, when they met the Democratic presidential nominee last Friday at Hanscom Field Airport in Bedford, Mass.
The students shook hands with John F. Kerry and then unloaded the luggage of the campaign and press corps at the airport. Another team of 10 College Dems met the motorcade at the hotel and carried the bags from the curb.
The College Dems who met Kerry were surprised by his tan skin and tall stature. They were energized for the campaign’s final push before the Nov. 2 election."
I wonder how the public will react to John Kerry's new Agent Orange look in the upcoming debate?

Less orange please...

Meh, I don't care either way he's better than Bush, even if it is a spray-on tan.

It makes you wonder if this will be a constant palour, or if he'll go back to his original pastiness.
Maybe someone told him to try to be more appealing to the illegal aliens, and he got confussed in the process?

It looks terrible. He looks almost like Quark.

oh ive just decided to give him credit for championing the sunless tan. maybe he will inspire the masses to give up tanning and save the country billions in skin cancer treatments

Yeah ... and Bush trips over his dog and nearly dies from eating a pretzel stick ... (imagine that in the history books!)

Why oh why do people make issues of these things?

So he got a spray on tan and he also got Botox injections once or twice, but so what? He's rich! That's what rich people do.

And neither one of them is the least bit competent when it comes to sports, especially skiing and biking.
However, I think most rich people also have the brains required to know that spray on tans never look good on people with pale skin.

:rolleyes:

This is all we can expect from the Bushites in terms of trying to attack Kerry. Well, except for tired old discredited arguments. Ah victory shall be so sweet.

This is not a test:

John Kerry's skin alert level has been raised from Yellow/Elevated to Orange/High. If his campaign continues to falter, his skin tone will be raised to a Red/Severe alert level - at that stage everybody should PANICK BECAUSE THERE WILL BE ANOTHER FLIP-FLOP!!!

Yeah...flipflops. Sure.

Care to back that statement up?

I think that if Senator Kerry wants to do that then he should be able to. It just goes to show that even with age, you can still sometimes do what the young do. If it made him happy to get the tan, then he should do what makes him happy. Who are we to judge what he does? As long as it's not anything offensive, then I say keep doing your thing Kerry cause you still have my vote.

Yeah...flipflops. Sure.

Or you can either laugh at the joke, or not make a comment that makes you look like a humorless ass.

Donkey. Humorless Donkey.

Exactly what I meant. *L*

Not everyone will find that funny.

:D

I never said they would. In fact, I didn't find it funny. What I'm saying is that there was no need to be such a dullard as to ask for backup on a point used in a joke.

he dosen't look very good.

Not everyone will find that funny.
Then they are humorless asses. It was prettty damn funny and was a whole hell of a lot better than most of the Anti-Bush crap that the "proffesionals" seem to be kicking out these days.

Wow, what a narrow minded look at how the human mind.

I feel special - somebody appreciates my humor; thank you!

Eh?
What is it Mr Spock? Captain, I believe that this may be some form of alien communication.

Anyway, it was funny and it was original. "Bush is Stupid, hurhurhur" hasn't been funny for a couple of years because it has all been done before. Now, skin coloration as an alert system, that is new and good.
Further, any nipswitch who asks for proof on a joke needs to be smited with the two by four of perception.

I didn't find the joke very amusing either....well, it was at first.

But then I return to my favorite recent political joke (and bumper sticker).

Vote Democrat, Because who's ever heard of a great piece of Elephant?

*L* That's a pretty good one. My favorite is still the Cthulhu one (Why settle for the lesser evil?) but not as many people would get it.

All this banter still does not change the fact that Kerry's face looks like the inside of a sweet potato. What the hell was he thinking? I understand the debates are coming up and a canditate's appearance is very important but what a dumb move. Now, tonight everybody will be staring at his sweet potato hue rather than listening to what he is saying.

Of COURSE, anyone currently taking the time and effort to insult John Kerry's complexion have perfect, healthy, natural tans?

I wish I was still naive enough to be disappointed by the quick degeneration into making fun of superficialities that heralds the encroachment of hotly contested elections... but I'm not.

Blah blah blah, Kerry is orange, blah blah blah, Bush looks like a monkey.

No YOUR mom!

No YOURS!

YOURS TIMES INFINITY!

MY CHOSEN ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE'S DICK IS BIGGER THAN YOUR CHOSEN ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE'S DICK!

More and more, I see the failure of Democracy... that it's decided, in the end, in the exact same manner popularity contests in Kindergarten are. And usually, by people with roughly the same amount of education.

rant about kindergarten

Or maybe it's just that nobody is going to be convinced by arguments over issues now (outside of the debates themselves), so we might as well laugh about the superficial things candidates do.

More likely no one is convinced about issues 99% of the time, and this superficial mockery is the weight, body, face and soul of US elections.
