#4 Looks like he'll get Richard Gere's vote. Wonder if JFnK recreated it and filmed it with the trusty Super 8?

#5 Found this comment over on Silent Running, I wish I had said this:

After four days, millions of dollars spent, thousands, no millions of words of coverage, a multimedia extravaganza to "introduce" John Kerry to America. Speeches recalling heroism. Speeches citing compassion and ideals. All carefully scripted, to hone and refine an image, one searing vision for people to take away from this tremendous display of party unity...

The vision of John Kerry giving a wet rodent mouth to mouth.

Good job, folks.

#6 I'm starting to understand why the Bush campaign hasn't gone into attack mode to paint a negative image of Sen. JoKe.

They don't need to.

#7 "My dad jumped in, grabbed an oar, fished the cage from the water, hunched over the soggy hamster and began to administer CPR," the Kerry daughter told the audience.

Uhhh, yeah.

Are you thinking like I'm thinking that it was actually Swimmer who kicked the hamster cage into the water in the first place? He, he, he...

#9 Remember when some magazine asked the assorted candidates which pet had most effect on them?Here we have Kerry jumping into water to save a glorified rat because it was his daughters' pet(a nice thing to do IMHO);just the sort of story that would humanize him and would have gone over very well w/the youth-oriented magazines' readers.Instead,Kerry stated his favorite pet was a dog that belonged to one of crewman aboard his boat in Viet Nam.Just how can someone be both so calculating and so inept at same time?
