What's this about Kerry looking tired and/or sick?

[brentspeak]

I didn't watch today's speech, but I'm worried about the possibility that this campaign has already worn him down some. And I feel a bit guilty because I'm definitely one of those who has been down on him for making mistakes and not going for the jugular against Bush day-in and day-out.

1. GOP wishful thinking?

[wurzel]

2. He didn't look sick on that windsurfer.

[Larkspur]

7. Kerry had time to windsurf?

Shouldn't he have been campaigning instead? It's not like he's got a double digit lead to sit on.

3. A campaign schedule takes it's toll on EVERYONE!

I wouldn't worry about him being any more tired than any other national candidate. It's just part of the cost of running.

9. even worse once they get in office

Exactly, running for national office is tiring. Heck, just keeping up with the republican lies is tiring for those of us who are mostly just watching. Even more tiring is holding office - notice how tired many presidents have seemed, and the toll that holding office takes on their health, more grey hair, etc.

Well, Bush seems to be an exception to this, but he gets a lot of vacation time and has others make the hair-greying decisions for him. But for most folks, it's hard work.

4. Maybe he has a cold like I do. Otherwise, he looks fine. n/t

[graywarrior]

5. He looks sick & tired

11. you got that right. four years of hell are doing it for my looks.

[Qutzupalotl]

6. Cheney's fine. Quick, look over there!

[LittleApple81]

8. Didn't you hear about the repug "push poll" implying that his cancer might

not be cured and too recent for him to be selected president?
It appeared on DU a few days ago.

[A_Possum]

21. Bah

Case of projection, perhaps.

[bigtree]

22. wasting our time

won't fight

Heard all of these from republican hacks today. Funny coincidence.

[seabeyond]

12. of course he is tired

[sangh0]

13. Another innocent question

from someone who didn't see Kerry, but is worried about the way Kerry looks.

[unfrigginreal]

14. If you want to see someone looking tired and sick...

check out Ralphie on MSNBC right now.

[LuminousX]

23. Hard to believe that we're on the same side

But I guess that's the price one pays for being under a Big Tent:

12. Kerry looks exhausted!


The smears, lies and hatred spewed from these criminals have taken a toll, I am so angry.

66. Well, I think it could have been a better speech ... and it didn't
help that Kerry looked really tired. But I think he did fine in front of that conservative organization.

[bigtree]

18. sick and tired
