The famously off-the-cuff Heinz Kerry is scheduled to address the delegates tonight. At the Kennedy Center, her husband violated the cardinal rule of politics — getting his picture taken in a ridiculous outfit.
Visiting the space shuttle Discovery, Kerry donned dust-free overalls that made him resemble the sperm cells in Woody Allen's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid To Ask)."
Republican operatives issued a press release featuring the photo and its predecessor — the famous shot of 1988 Democratic nominee Mike Dukakis wearing an ill-fitting tank helmet.
"It's the picture worth a thousand words," said a GOP strategist as he chortled over the photo of Kerry.
But Democrats were not concerned.
"The brilliant Republicans who put George Bush in a flight suit to strut around an aircraft carrier won't get very far giving advice to NASA about the kinds of coveralls to wear," said Kerry campaign spokesman David Wade.

Brings back memories of those tank photos of Dukakis!
He's too ridiculous for words.... really... nothing describes him adequately.
The Kerry camp is in an impossible spot with that over-top ridiculous photo, but, sheesh! a learning-disabled fourth-grader could come up with a better quip than Wade's.
Kerry doesn't have to pose to look rediculous. It's his natural look.
ROFLMAO! Too damn funny. I think it was Hugh Hewitt who first noted the Allen comparison.
This == Dukakis in a tank.
Period.
the only thing that makes sense to me is jfk,is not running for president.
but only putting together a scrap book.
I don't think so.
Kerry merely looks stupid in this picture.
Dukakis looked stupid in the tank - but it also highlighted or reminded people of the fact that he was a leftist who would weaken our military. He seemed laughable in the tank, but he also came across as a hypocrite and two-faced for trying to act like he'd be a tough commander-in-chief. Kerry just looks goofy..
I dunno, what would be the equivalent for GWB... I guess going to a French restaurant and trying to order in French? LOL.
Buy one of these space thingys for me, they're so swell.
Will Kerry break out and start singing the umpa lumpa song
"Okay Teresa...NOW can we have sex????"

Will he be wearing that when he accepts the nomination?
I thought I was the only one to picture that right off the bat.
"There is no need for the average American citizen to own a handgun or rifle for personal protection, just as there is no need for the average American to prepare for possible WMD attack on the homeland."
"Now please SS agent, tell the reporters to move along, there's nothing here to see."
Stop that, stop that, it's silly!
It's very silly indeed.

The difference is, W looked great in the flight suit, and Kerry looks like even more of a dork than he usually does in that getup.
