Image of Kerry Disrupts Carefully Choreographed Photo-Op

PHILADELPHIA - When Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) visited the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, his campaign hoped that the backdrop of the famed shuttle launch site would evoke images of exploration and science.
Instead, the photo that was splashed across the nation's largest tabloid newspapers was less than statesmanlike: Kerry, dressed in a hooded "bunny suit," peering out of the hatch that leads to the space shuttle.
The reaction was merciless. Under a banner headline that read "Spaceman Kerry's goofy photo flub," the New York Post suggested that Kerry looked like the sperm character Woody Allen played in his 1972 comedy, "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex."

I don't understand why people keep posting that stupid picture. Delicious moments like this need to be savoured, and that goofy look needs to be drilled home into the American consciousness. Do you think the big networks are going to do this for us?

I don't know: does this guy look as bad as Kerry? It's a very similar shot. I'm biased, but I'd say he looks a little more acceptable.

I don't understand why people keep posting that stupid picture.Why? Here's why:
There are a number of people out there that believe the above photo of Dukakis looking like a complete dweeb singlehandedly cost him the election. I wouldn't go quite that far myself, but it is without question the photo hurt him a lot. People took one look at that picture and thought, "This guy wants to command our armed forces? I don't think so."
The Kerry Enema photo is the Dukakis Tank picture of 2004. I hope it's plastered everywhere you look from now until Election Day.

There are a number of people out there that believe the above photo of Dukakis looking like a complete dweeb singlehandedly cost him the election. Since Dukakis lost in a land slide, the referenced photo cannot be singularly attributed to his loss. But let's hope this one does cost Brear Kerry the election:

The nice thing about pictures is that just one is worth a 1000 words. The Dem operatives are out there spreading the "NASA/Bush dirty tricks.." angle, but no matter how the pictures got out, no matter what the circumstances, the average American would know instinctively that
no one made Kerry put on the Space-type suit, that everything in Kerry's day is an orchestrated photo op, and that seeing Kerry on a NASA junket, in a space suit, reveals more about Kerry than a short film clip of his "days of action" in Vietnam (though, of course, that also speaks volumes about the man's "foresight" and motivation as a young Navy Officer).
The Dems have been saying that the American people just haven't gotten to know the "real" (i.e. scripted) Kerry. Now, with this one photo, they are white-with-fright that EVERY American now knows way too much about Kerry.
Sucks to be a Democrat...lol. I just want to see the contrasting photo's, of Kerry in his fake space suit, side-by-side with Bush in a (real, operational) flight suit, on the deck of an operational Aircraft Carrier returning from war, speaking to the throngs of cheering young warriors demonstrating their unabashed admiration for their CIC.
