Cheneys go beyond the pale ("pale" Get it? Ha! Ha!)

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.

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.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

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.

[elhombrelibre]

Man, that is one terrible tan.

[elhombrelibre]

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.

Interesting enough, I've hard an explanation of "going beyond the pale". In ye aulde times, when Brits ruled Ireland, Dublin was surrounded by the ring of forts, protecting Brits-populated area against Irish. These forts were called "pales". Going outside the "pale"-protected area was a synonym of a dangerous undertaking.

here is the explanation

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.
