Life Imitates Art. (via Instapundit)
If I were running this campaign, I'd question the 'sunburst' color theme.

Dreck at May 3, 2004 05:48 AM | TrackBack | Technorati inbound linksLet's see, at this rate - a crash while snowboarding and a fall while biking - if Kerry does become president he will become the next Gerald Ford complete with a character on SNL aping him and his accident prone ways.
Posted by: steve on May 3, 2004 06:46 AMLOL, I was just thinking the same thing as Steve except that the SNL character will probably make some oblique reference to “how dare you question my patriotism, I served in Vietnam!” each time he falls.
Dittos on the color scheme and the helmet.
My comment on my own blog (before reading the comments here):
"Hmmmm... First it's the tumble on the ski slopes, now he's falling off his bike. I wonder if one of those sonuvabitches from the Secret Service knocked him over again? Is anyone besides me starting to get Jerry Ford vibes about this guy? Chevy Chase, where are you when we need you?"
Evidently the answer is, "Yes."

Posted by: Paul Zrimsek on May 3, 2004 12:11 PMKerry was imitating the part of that episode where President Bartlet reveals that he's a personally opposed/pro-choice-Catholic? Oh, you mean the bicycle thing.
Posted by: The Raving Atheist on May 3, 2004 12:37 PMI raised the issue with my students this morning this way: why is Kerry wearing a "Milwaukee Panthers" t-shirt (i.e. a t-shirt for the sports team where I teach, UWM)?
One student thought it was to counteract Bush's visit to the region. From this angle voters are encouraged to reason, "Bush may be here in the midwest today, but at least Kerry is wearing the t-shirt of a midwestern university..."
I myself am inclined to think he simply likes his sports gear color-coordinated.

Which begs the question, why does he own an orange ten-speed with yellow handle-bars and an orange and yellow bicycle helmet?

Posted by: Brent Smith on May 3, 2004 02:21 PMThat's it. I was going to vote for him, for the gridlock factor. But, I can't bring myself to vote for someone dressed like an orange/bannana Frusion.

Posted by: Harry B. on May 3, 2004 03:00 PMAny mention of the SOB who caused him to fall off of his bike?
Also, I look at the picture and I don't see a flower thingy. Where's the flower thingy?

He's trying to match the 1960s-prepped femme fatale of a PC video game spy-spoof?
