This is pretty critical of Kerry considering the source.
This article is really off the deep end. It claims that if Bush were in the same position that no one would poke fun. I think that if Bush put on spandex shorts and Rip Curl surfer shirt that the media would have a field day of jokes, me included. Kerry has a semiotic tin ear.
Recall that photo was misreported by the media. GHWB #41 knew what a grocery scanner was. He was being given a demonstration of (then) NEW technology that drastically improved the use of bar codes so that they were more easily read & processed. Everybody (now) knows that the scanning of barcodes in earlier days was sometimes a mixed proposition while, increasingly and, now, today, the scanners are so effective they are easily processed with wands by hand and by quickly moving the items over the scanners, rather than than the peristent problems & difficulties which were inherent in the first generations of that technology (which was why GHWB was impressed, not because he hadn't been to a market in 50 years as the media aided the Clinton campaign in helping to suggest.
The stereotypes of the sport are unfair - there are lots of plumbers and construction workers
What a bunch of bull - straight from Kerry and his campaign. The source for this quote is a line from a recent article when he flew from Iowa to Portland (or vice-versa) to go Windsurfing and was his explanation that these hobbies of his are cheap and readily obtained by the common man. That said, yes, there are plenty of folks doing windsurfing etc. but the line, in this context, is pure spin, not reporting.
Once again the plumbers and construction workers are used as examples of the lowest end of the gene pool.

"Professor Thompson confesses that he does not think it has anything to do with windsurfing, or skiing, or even the mansions. After all, no one made fun of John F. Kennedy for all those yachting photos."
JFK wasn't a closet socialist. Heck, Kerry isn't even in the closet with that voting record of his over 20 years.
Kerry's nine mansions are not the reason I am not voting for him. I'm not voting for him because he's an out-and-outright fraud.
He got his. NOW, he wants mine! To share with others who would rather have it given to them than work..
Charity in the Christian sense is not collected by the Government at threat of imprisonment for disobeying.
That's Marxist.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Instead of a summer afternoon windsurfing, it is more like John Kerry spent the whole summer spent windsurfing.
It's not the windsurfing, it's the candidate, stupid.
Especially when the Israeli national anthem is playing in the background.
