#8 I think it's a great picture, composed well good character and rain makes everything look sympathetic.

#9 Kerry (off the record, of course): "Does Mary Poppins know her brolly is missing, heh, heh".

But actually, I understand from press reports (okay, only on Fox website)that the picture was taken only when after it happened Bush turned around and posed like that! Self-deprecating and pretty thrifty since as POTUS he could have had a "GustBuster" like the bomb-a-rama linked to. I'll bet the Kerry campaign uses this in one of their on-demand focus groups and see how they respond before deciding on the approppriate umbrella response.

He does look like he is trying to suppress a laugh. . .
