DULUTH, Minn. - Something about Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites)'s darker appearance has caught Lynne Cheney's eye. During a campaign stop with her husband, a group of volunteers moved into the crowd with microphones for the question-and-answer period. Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) told supporters to look for the people with dark orange shirts. When Cheney paused as if searching for the words to describe the shade of orange, Lynne Cheney said, "How about John Kerry's suntan?" The remark drew a big laugh from the crowd and the vice president. Responding to her comments, Kerry campaign spokesman Bill Burton said, "Is Mrs. Cheney jealous considering how hard it is to get sun in the undisclosed location with her husband Dick? Or is she distracted over how red-in-the-face George Bush (news - web sites) should be considering his failed presidency?"

The Kerry guy's response was lame, but so was Cheney's joke, considering the easy target. She should pick some of the copious comic material on FR.

NOW GO CHECK YOUR FREEPMAIL!!! LOL!!!
To: mylife
Yes, especially considering where she was when she made the comment. Does a public rally really classify as an undisclosed location? And, of course, leave it to the left to respond to a light-hearted jest with a vicious smear.

Truly, a Kerry-esque retort. Just add some finger pointing.

You're kidding, of course! This idiotic statement made no sense whatsoever! The first sentence made a LITTLE sense, but that second sentence is absurd. The guy must be color blind!

Lynne Cheney jokes about Kerry's tanLynne secretly knows 'The Orange Kerry' was merely out to get the Native American vote (sort of like Al Gore's speech change in front of black audiences in 2000).
I also hear that "Secret Agent Orange" was Kerry's code name when he was busy performing all that covert CIA work deep into Cambodia. Like those memories of those days, that orange was seered into his face.

Or is she distracted over how red-in-the-face George Bush should be considering his failed presidency?" I can't decide what is more remarkable: (1) that the Kerry campaign feels this overpowering need to issue a response to everything, no matter how stupid it makes them look, or (2) that the Kerry campaign was actually able to respond to something without mentioning Kerry's service in Vietnam.

Does this make Kerry a Beacon Hill Orangetang? (Bad Pun Alert)
