KERRY ON ORANGE ALERT: SKIN TRANSITION ON EVE OF DEBATE

Is it the late September Wisconsin sun that has turned Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry's face to rich tan-colored hues? Or has the senator been campaigning in the rust-belt?

Kerry advisers defend the sudden deep tan transition, noting how it simply was from a game of flag football last Friday in Bedford, Mass.

But the College Democrats who met Kerry were surprised by his rich tan glow -- before the game even began, the HARVARD CRIMSON reports.

I just saw this on Drudge..you beat me too it..bwaaaaaaaaaaaaahhaha...Orange ALERT...heh heh...

[evolved_rage]

A little excessive ketchup during foreplay accident, I presume?

[JRandomFreeper]

He was wearing gloves during the game? Because his hands are much lighter in color than his face.

Looks like botox boy has discovered the joys of spray on tans.

[areafiftyone]

At first I couldn't get Drudge up it kept locking. This is absolutely disgusting!!! That man is gross!

[atomicpossum]

The curse of Gore strikes again.

[smith288]

The same Harvard Crimson paper that Kerry said he would like to hand off our sovereignty to the UN and defund the CIA nearly to extinction???

[PBRSTREETGANG]

He really does want to be the world's tallest Oompa-loompa.

[Piquaboy]

The sun is to low at this time of year to get a tan like that in so short a time. I happen to live in the north also and know this for a fact. He must have used some skin tan lotion. To bad he did not use some face eraser.

[curlewbird]

That is insane! I was just talking to a guy I work with about the same thing! I noticed it this morning on Fox when they played a clip of him! A little heavy on the self tanner I think!

[WestTexasWend]

Good advance planning...they're hoping it will hide his embarrassment Thursday night.

The People Who Are Allowed To Lie abuse the privilege.

[TXBSAFH]

It would appear that he did not get the full body spray on tan.

[MEG33]

I started laughing before seeing the picture...Calling all make up artists ...gotta have a redo fast!

[sam_paine]

Northing to fear. His melanin's flip-flopping is only skin deep?

[markman46]

tan n' a bottle is all looks a little copper

[finnman69]

[smith288]

Somebody simply MUST tell the DNC that tan-n-a-can doesnt work for the debates.

[tomnbeverly]

Looks like John Edwards came to a sudden Halt and well Kerry hasn't cleaned up yet... hahahha

[gov_bean_ counter]

This won't at all do well under TV lights. Before the night is over he could be streaking.

[sr4402]

This is absolutely disgusting!!! That man is gross!

You don't think I'm gross, Do you Honey?

Yeah, and Scott Peterson's hair turned yellow because he "went swimming."

[Huck]

Remember when he was on Meet the Press and he was all orange?? This is the second time! LOL!

John O' Kerry

[VadeRetro]

And what is that dippy orange plastic bracelet he keeps wearing?

[beaversmom]

I betcha the tan in a bottle was Teresa's idea.

From the article:

“I have this hero worship for Kerry so meeting him was amazing. Everyone was shaking when we shook his hand,” said the New York voter. “There’s very little you could say at first...you are meeting your political hero.”

For the love of God, LOSE THE YELLOW BRACELET! US Presidents do not wear plastic yellow bracelets MADE IN CHINA!

[unixfox]

Or maybe he wants to look like a golfer, or a wind surfer, or snow skier, or tour de France entrant, or....

Forget it Kerry, your a fake through and through.

[PilloryHillary]

Guess F'n Kerry didn't learn from Al Gore's pre-debate tanning mistake.

[Hegemony Cricket]

It's a Harvest Moon Tan!

[Mike Fieschko]

Get this from the Crimson article:

Raquel O. Alvarenga ’07, said she enjoyed the brief interaction with members of the Kerry entourage.

“I have this hero worship for Kerry so meeting him was amazing. Everyone was shaking when we shook his hand,” said the New York voter. “There’s very little you could say at first...you are meeting your political hero.”

Kristina M. Moore ’08, who has been in college only two weeks was equally impressed with her chance to meet the Democratic presidential nominee.

“To get a handshake and a word with John Kerry was just absolutely amazing,” she said. “Absolutely unbelievable...a little surreal.”

I expected to see "oh John, oh oh oh oh OHHH JOHNNNNN !!!!

I think I'll skip breakfast. Brings to mind too many bad things!

[AmericanInTokyo]

For those fast days on the campaign trail with little time:

[atomicpossum]

Somebody simply MUST tell the DNC that tan-n-a-can doesnt work for the debates.

Ooooooooh, no, we mustn't......

:-)

[AmericanMade1776]

Drudge has a new title on it.

[CzarNicky]

Kerry is W's best campaign asset.

[areafiftyone]

LOL that poor woman she looks like she's suffering.

[Red Badger]

He's gonna look like Mr. Carlson in the episode of WKRP in Cincinnatti where he ran for Mayor(?) and Les had him painted up like a clown!..........

[Pete]

This is being discussed here

Some of the funniest stuff I have seen on FR since the diarama thread. Here is a sample.

--------------------------
Kerry sits down at a bar.
Bartender asks him:
"Why the Orange face?"
--------------------------

I can see the opening exchange at the debate on Thursday as Kerry attempts to diffuse comments about his complexion.

Kerry: I'm tan from the sun

Bush: I'm George from the earth
--------------------------
Wouldn't his palms be orange too??

Check John Edwards' palms ...

[asgardshill]

"Someday we'll find it ... the Rainbow Connection ..."

[WestTexasWend]

LOL...they know Kerry's gonna sweat like mad Thursday nite, which means his makeup will run and leave him as wet and pale and icky as he was at the convention. So they're dying his skin so he'll be wet and TANNED and icky...

[Red Badger]

KERRY's KAMPAIN STAFF

[Caipirabob]

He really does want to be the world's tallest Oompa-loompa.

LOL!...from your lips

John Kerry: The "Alpha-Loompa"

[paws_and_whiskers]

It could be very funny if he starts running (faux tan) under the lights.

[compass63]

I'd like to see him with his eyes closed, most people who use tan-in-a-can forget to do their eye lids. The tan itself might be fake, but the fact that he could get a tan is true.
