Kids, Don't Try This At Home

What's next, running with scissors?

Caption contest anyone?

Kerry (muttering to himself): "Now, the left, now the right, now the left, now the right..."

UPDATE:

For political balance, we have this photo.

Kerry (muttering to himself): "Now, the left...

Reminds of the blonde joke. Blonde goes in for a haircut and the stylist tells her that she must take off her Walkman headphones. The blonde insists she can't do that. The stylist does all she can, then just takes the headphones off the blonde to finish up. The blonde falls dead on the floor.

One of the policemen investigating picks up the headphones and listens..."Breath in, breath out. Breath in, ..."

Actually, these kinds of pictures annoy the crap out of me. It looks like Kerry is trying to be something he isn't. There were some pictures of Kerry from his younger days. One had him sitting behind a desk. But to me the picture looked contrived. Kerry was sitting such that leaning his head back even the slightest bit he'd run into the wall. The wall behind him was covered with plaques, awards, and such, but the arrangement looked off. And the desk itself looked backwards. To me it looked like the desk was yanked out from the wall so that the picture could be taken.

There was also one of Kerry building model airplanes...while sitting on the couch. Not only did it look uncomfortable it looked like a horrid place to build a model anything. Why not sit at the kitchen table. Again it looked contrived.

The same with this picture. It looks like a man who knows photographers are around so he did something for the photo-op.

I cannot tell a lie. I, too, have walked on railroad rails. There was no photographer present. I agree with you Steve, anyone photographed that much is going to have some odd looking ones, so a few weird photographs mean nothing.

Imagine having photographers around all the time.

I deny, however, needing a recording to tell me when to breathe.

I did it, it's my fault. See, I remember from my youth that if you put pennies and nickles on a railroad track, the train would do marvelous things when it ran over them......I guess I just got a little carried away.

I don't like Kerry, but I will say--God I'm glad photographers don't follow me around. I do all sorts of things that would look funny in pictures.

Here here Sebastian. In fact, walking back to the office during lunch, I ... uh, never mind.

Probably just a subtle dig at how many times Bush was asked to walk a straight line to prove his sobriety, but couldn't.

How many times was it? Well, they won't say.

Amazingly enough, no matter how often George Bush drank too much, I'll bet he never thought he was in a different country than he actually was ... or though he was in Apocalypse Now.

Robin,

None of that matters to Sofla. It is John Kerry after all...Sofla's patron saint.

Posted by: Steve on August 11, 2004 03:24 PM

No, Sofla's patron saint is ABB.

Damn, that's funny. It's right up there with your "speaking Farsi" rejoinder. You do come up with some good zingers. :)

Is "sofla" the Debunkers poster known as "Amy"?
