John Kerry's campaign was seeing red - or was it orange? - over a swipe yesterday by the Republicans over his new suntan.
Vice President Dick Cheney, at a town hall-style campaign event in Minnesota, told the audience that student proctors could be seen wearing orange shirts.
Lynne Cheney asked her husband what the shirts ``remind you of?'' The veep paused, prompting his wife to say, ``I'll say it: How about John Kerry's suntan?''
The crowd laughed, apparently having seen reports about Kerry's tan.
The vice president noted he might have to ``disassociate'' himself from the remark but added it was ``a good line.''
Kerry's campaign wasn't pleased. ``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 should be considering his failed presidency?'' Kerry spokesman Bill Burton said.

Yuk yuk yuk!!!! LOL
Agent Orange can't take a joke. He's the big bad super serious candidate.
Can you imagine the sort of tattle-tale wimp that Kerry was as a child? "Mother, tell them to stop making fun of me."
Lighten up, Francis.
He has a very thin skin - orange - but thin.
A snide remark but no denial of tan-in-a-can.
The "football tan" lie was quickly exposed.
My my!! Kerry's is a little sensitive isn't he?
It shows how vain Kerry really is. Kerry's handlers behave like shool children.
I hope Bush puts a little miniature pumkin on his podium.
sKerry's fuse is getting shorter and shorter. This is wicked fun.
Man, that is one terrible tan.
I'm sure it's another reason why very few of his fellow vets like him, besides his other faults. The guy is a namby pamby. He's a nuancyboy.
You could make chaps with that skin.
He doesn't fall down when skiing, by the way, the Secret Service knocks him down.
Liberals have no sense of humour.
LOL! Hey, I've got terra-cotta pots that aren't as orange as Kerry is! Put a petunia on his head and let's watch it grow.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....
Thank you for the info.
That's very interesting!
Bump!
He can't seem to overcome his thin skin about anything, which is one of the things that makes me consider him to be unfit to command.
Either he or his wife will blast off their mouth at the wrong time, creating some kind of international incident & next thing ya know, we're at war to defend their stinkin honor.
Jay Leno: “Well, the terror level on John Kerry's face has now been raised to orange.”
The Cheneys should understand that John Freakin' Kerry was confused over the proximity of Halloween and Election Day. He was merely practicing applying his make-up for his imitation of being someone else!
They're loose cannons.
"I clear brush too. I just don't have pictures of that."
"I'm just being myself......"
| I understand Kerry will be sporting a new tan for his speech before the NAACP...

When the Kerry pumpkin carving contest start?
is
Kerry sure is getting hot under the collar!
Everyone is laughing!
He's been carved up pretty good already!
Kerry at tonight's debate.
Even the horses!
I tried to find a picture of Hillary laughing, but Google claims none exist...what a dour lady...bet she's cackling now tho.
Kerry's camp still doesn't have a clue. Karl Rove did it. Obviously the Secret Service let Karl slip in one night with his trusty spray can ....
oh my gosh....she has that crazy "Algore Eyes" look.....scary lady!
"Would I have voted for the authority to be orange? Absolutely. Would I be orange myself? no, I'm definitely not orange. I'm a pale shade of white, actually."
Kerry looks like his face spends a lot of time over the pail.
What he is, is tied up in his own knots.
Well, it doesn't do my digestion much good either.
"Agent Orange"....how funny!!!
I think Hillary is SHOCKED by how badly Kerry is doing.
They may have given Bush a mandate.
Put him in a bucket of fried chicken and he'd blend right in.
Credit for the Agent Orange crack is actually due to Sean Hannity; he said it yesterday on his show.
I hope they have the men in white coats on standby in Miami. After President Bush fries the red loving agent orange, and puts a fork in him, he won't just be done, he may exploded from all the hot air finally being allowed to escape.
Exactly!! Up until Kerry's latest string of foolishness about Allawi & then the Saudi's, I thought his missus was the clear favorite. I can no longer figure out which of them is worse.
Beyond that, Teresa's extreme environmental advocacy is a huge DANGER DANGER sign for the U.S.
The man is a dope.
Unless they keep the candidates seperated from each other before tomorrows debate, I can only imagine what kind of burr Dubya is gonna plant under Kerry's saddle before the thing even starts.
