IMO
Kerry was very wrinkled. Botox wearing off quickly from the Swiftees, poll numbers, and Memogate scandal.
Kerry is settling into 1971-73 VVAW form. He is being himself for a change. Great for Bush's election chances but bad for troop morale. As Rush says: A tiger is still a tiger
I noticed he was at a fire station with only a few fire brass in the background. Where were the guys who ride on the truck? I'm guessing they didn't want to be seen anywhere near Kerry.
