(More on Snowboarding F'n Kerry)
ABC News Kerry campaign reporter "Diamond" Ed O'Keefe, who, (not) incidentally, looks hot in his ski gear, files this exclusive report from atop Bald Mountain in Idaho:
As Senator John Kerry carved his Burton snowboard down a green rated Upper College run, another skier interrupted his stride, colliding with the presumptive Democratic nominee at 9,010 feet.
The slope-cade of two Ski Patrollers, several Secret Service agents, two journalists, one camera and one Kerry aide suddenly came to a halt. The Massachusetts Senator lay on the ground, removed his Smith sunglasses, and surveyed the damage.
Assured that the ABC News camera accompanying the entourage had not captured Kerry's fall, the Senator glared at your sloping Noter and assured, "I don't fall down. That son of a bitch ran into me."
Alas, the Senator's private vacation in a very public place was filled with interruption. While Kerry took a break on the "Warm Springs" run, a woman stopped to shout, "We're from Oklahoma and we love you!" The Senator's breath-catching moment quickly became an irresistible Christmas card opportunity as the woman gathered her family around the still-sitting Senator.
A duty-bound husband sheepishly said while pointing to his camera, "Hey, can we, do you mind?" Before Kerry could weigh in, the man answered his own question observing, "I guess it's kind of your job." Fortunately for the Senator, the exchange just may pay off. When asked if he intends to vote for Kerry, the Oklahoman Noted, "After seeing him ski? Yeah."
But not everyone in the solidly red state of Idaho was pleased to see the president's opponent ride Sun Valley's Challenger chair lift.
While the Senator waved to light applause outside the base camp ski lodge, inside he was greeted by a quiet chant of "Bush, Bush!" All of which brings The Note to a weighty, serious, but in no way scientific or limited to this list analysis of a major issue of the day: Ketchum vs. Crawford.

I think John Kerry looks a little like that tall, lanky, Weasel, French Ambassador to the U.N. "DeVillipan"
They both share the same Hair Stylist, they both flip flop on more issues more than a short order cook does at breakfast time at a Denny's Restaurant. And they both share the typical Liberal love for every third world dictator around the globe and are willing to deploy troops to defend Tyrants like Aristide, Mugabe, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez, Manual Noriega, and Fidel Castro

I think they are the same person. Have you ever seen them together at the same time. All existence would stop.
