Dukakis II: The Photo Kerry Regrets
Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, so long, we'll see you again
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
- From The Byrds' "Mr. Spaceman"
What was he thinking? Or was he thinking? Did John Kerry forget how that widely ridiculed photo opportunity in the Army tank deflated the presidential campaign of his mentor Michael Dukakis?
Apparently not. Sen. Kerry continues to face fallout from his widely ridiculed photo opportunity at Cape Canaveral.
He must have thought wearing a baby-blue anti-contamination suit would somehow make him appear tough and less elitist than usual. The New York Post, however, in the lead story "BOSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM," with the secondary headline "Spaceman Kerry's goofy photo flub," today noted he looked instead like the sperm Woody Allen played in "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex but Were Afraid to Ask."
"The GOP effort to pull a 'Dukakis' on Kerry is shifting into high gear," the Associated Press reported today.
But Kerry seems eager to pull a Dukakis on himself.
Republican chairman Ed Gillespie said, "We just thought it was a great photo."
Look Who's 'Stupid'
Perhaps the Massachusetts Democrat had to decontaminate himself from the first night of the Democrat convention.
Over at the GOP war room, Minnesota's excellent new U.S. senator, Norm Coleman, noted the presence of a certain anti-American left-wing hatemonger at the Bush-bashing Beantown bash.
"We had Michael Moore in the presidential box, someone who said Americans are stupid," Coleman pointed out. "Michael Moore sits with President Jimmy Carter in his box. Is that the foreign policy coming out of this convention? Does that demonstrate the party's commitment to make tough decisions?"
Well, at least they've managed so far to hide Dukakis. And his junior-size helmet
