Sorry, I won't touch that.
Kerry is Kennedy's only hope of ever being President.
If the paint job was paid for by his wife, then this would be a violation of campaign finance laws. The paint job on that plane probably cost about $10,000 which would be about $8,000 more than his wife would be allowed to contribute legally.
I seriously doubt Kerry used any campaign funds to paint the plane. So how did it get painted?
Where are McCain and Feingold when you need them?
Oh no! I am getting bids on repainting an A-36 Bonanza (six place single engine airplane) and they are coming in higher than 10K - without any lettering.
I think thats becomming clear to even the most myopic among our liberal friends and neighbors.
Kerry's an "empty suit"...and they can thank Terry McAufille for his candidacy, which wouldn't have happened without Terry "Big Mac's" idea of frontloading the primaries.
Some days, I seriously thank God for those on the other side.....(grin)
"Can anyone photoshop Kerry's plane flying into the WTC???"
Nothing personal to anyone (especially you, Mr./Ms. Solson!). That kind of stuff comes with regularity on DU; we need to rise above them.
Just my opinion; means nothing to anyone else.
Excellent job. But do something about the "President" part.
Perfect!
"President Bush, of course, made no ugly comments after Kerry recently suffered falls while bicycling and while snowboarding.
Of course. And we know this to be true because..."
The NYT, the LAT, the Washington Post and the AP didn't report that Bush called Kerry an uncoordinated asswipe.
< /sarcasm >
I was just figuring the cost on the lettering and the stars. I had assumed the underlying white paint job was original. If they painted the whole plane, the cost of the paint itself would clearly exceed $10,000 without the labor.
If any entity other than the Kerry Campaign paid for the paint job, it would definitely be a violation of the campagn finance laws.
Someone needs to investigate this brewing scandal.
Looks like an Airbag to me.
Alive? Perhaps 'preserved' is a better term. All the alcohol... Maybe it helps with the flesh thing too.
Oh, it doesn't waste precious fossil fuels or pollute. It runs on the goodness generated by John and the DNC. (barf)
It's really not surprising that the Democrats in this case are attacking Bush so mercilessly. They have nothing good to say about their own guy but they are in a fight for the most powerful political office in the world so they get more and more hateful towards our leader. And the media support them for two reasons:
1. They are Liberal Bush-haters themselves for the most part.
2. The media needs this thing to be a horse-race going into November.
I think that this is why Bush-Rove have gone quiet in their campaign. They've weakened Kerry and proven that they can do it again--at will. But it doesn't help to push him down too far since the media will blacken Bush just to "keep things even." The Bush Campaign has often reported that there would be some point in the campaign where Kerry would be leading.
It's hard not to peak too soon and I think that Bush has a lot of major news surprises that will start hitting in the fall--the Iraq turnover, Sadaam's trial, WMD in Syria, some of our troops coming home by late fall, etc.
Good catch! Hadn't noticed it!
Kerry knows he won't win in November, and it won't even be close. This way he can claim that he was forced to stop his fund raising early and that the Republicans 'bought' the election. Now the DNC and their wacko loonies have a rallying point for the next 4 years! Don't forget - this is the 'not my fault' party.
The man has his own 757 (even if only wet leased)? At least we know why he's worrying about running out of campaign money. Oops I forgot, it probably belongs to the Ketchup Lady, and he just gets to borrow it.... No thats not right either, according to the link where the picture can be found, it belongs to TransMeridan Airlines, and was chartered by the Democratic Party. It's named "The Real Deal". BARF!
The plane was chartered by the DemocRat Party. I assume the paint job came with the lease?
Paging Mr. Soros, Mr Soros, please pick up the white phone.
