Could this be the Mike Dukakis in the Tank picture of 2004?

#13  Here's a "representation" of Kerry's Band of Brothers. Ok, ok, I'm done-no more "wasting" of bandwidth, but Kerry is a tempting target for ridicule, I must say. Credit to ChronWatch.com for the following link:

Incidently it's also ChronWatch that posted the article about "Who's smarter, Hollywood types or Bush and Cabinet"[appropos to airhead "soundbites" of acting "luminaries" attending Democrat Convention this week:

#12  I killed many who built kits on the living room sofa. It's in my blood.

#11  So here's John Kerry, on his hands and knees... smiling, such as he is able. Is this his means of 'winning back' our European allies?

The poster wondered if this would be analogous to the Dukakis Tank photo. I don't think the effect will be the same. There were two reasons that the tank photo could arguably have done in Dukakis: 1) the helmet looked really big on him, and 2) he looked absolutely miserable.

In this photo the French-looking candidate/presumptive nominee looks ridiculous, but he does appear to be having fun--well, it could be a grimace. (cheap shot: And where does the rest of that tubing disappear to?)

#10  Kerry built model planes after his failed bid in '72.

Yeah in '72 the glue was made outta the good stuff. And nice flood pants.

#9  rex: gaah! My eyes! The camera really, really hates John Kerry. It looks like John Cleese doing a Python skit about shooting heroin.

#8  Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit links to yet another unPresidential photo of Kerry, on the same day the Kerry in a NASA suit photo was unveiled. This 2nd photo is pretty nasty, too. Reynolds says the camera does not love John Kerry. LOL. Understatement.

#3  Kinda reminds me of that old Woody Allen movie (I forget the title) with a bunch of guys dressed up as sperm, acting a skit about an ejaculation. Costumes looked just like Kerry's getup here, except they weren't blue.
