Hey, we never had a pic thread this week! Not fair.

I found some recent news photos that I haven't seen in here.



US Senator John Kerry, D-MA, speaks to an audience during the "Legislators Forum on Climate Change" on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Lawmakers from across the world including the United States and China called for a post-Kyoto pact to fight the "catastrophic" threat of global warming. (AFP/karen Bleier)

Thanks for sharing those!

[whometense]

12. You're welcome!

Just stumbled across them. It's too bad he has no charisma, isn't it?

[MBS]

13. I love your signature-quote about power and fear!

And I love all those photos, too!

[MBS]

10. kids are smart : ) n/t

[whometense]

11. They are indeed.

We did a great thread, way back, of contrasting babies with Kerry/babies with Bush photos. The babies with Kerry were all beaming. The babies with Bush - well, you can imagine...

[JanusAscending]

14. The baby girl looks about the size of my grandson Aidan!

See the woman in the background with her hands over her mouth? I'll give you dollars to donuts she's the Grandma !!!

15. Whatda ya know. The one and only thing I'm good at on DU.

At Pepperdine in '06.





Last week.




February 11, 2007




No explanation needed.




I love this photo.




And this one too.

[JanusAscending]

19. Hey! He really is one of us!

Check out the hole in the bottom of his shoe in that last shot!! Too busy going about the people's business to have his feet re-
shod!!! LOL I love the one of him and his girls too. Wish I could have had him for a Dad!!

16. Video clip from Cheers episode with JK.

http://www.chriskula.com/2005/08/video-catching-up-with-john-kerry.html

I think (judging by the end of this clip) that this is from a right-wing site. Who really cares though, it's JK on Cheers! (Silly wingers.)

[PresidentObama]

17. I LOVE that clip.THANKS!!! n/t

[karynnj]

18. He really looks pretty young then

very cute clip - don't they realize that this shows his sense of humor?

[whometense]

20. I guess I owe him a thank you.

I keep trying to catch that episode, but always miss it. Now I have it on my own computer. :evilgrin:

Thanks, wingnut!!

And yeah - how does that clip make him look bad???? :loveya:

[ginnyinWI]

23. I suppose he thinks that the map at the end is bad for JK too

Any informed person knows that those blue states are where most of the people are!

[ginnyinWI]

21. aw, that was so cute! n/t

[Vektor]

22. Well, Chris Kula can SUCK IT, but Kerry looks really cute there.

And I doubt that anyone would recognize ol' Chris on the street, but JK - we've all seen the throngs of screaming women firsthand.

And we've also BEEN the throngs of screaming women... :-)

Edited to add: :evilgrin:

[karynnj]

24. I was tempted to comment, but didn't want to have him look to

see where people posted the link. I would have told him that had people seen this little cameo with Kerry poking fun at himself and looking very very charming in the process, it could have got him 60,000 more COUNTABLE votes in Ohio and the Presidency. (Not to mention that given that he exceeded the percent of MA votes that JFK got, I think MA learned who their Junior Senator was. I bet Diane would have known who he was and immediately have forgotten Sam.)

What's funny is that he seems so much himself there - even though it wasn't real and it had to be over a decade ago.

25. I found an older video online

You might enjoy this. It's from 1984.

http://main.wgbh.org/ton/programs/2993_01.html

No wonder the NYTimes wrote this: "In the 1982 Congressional elections, women's votes elected Democratic governors in New York, Texas and Michigan. This year, a 13 percent margin among women voters elected Democrat John F. Kerry as Senator from Massachusetts, while a 9 percent margin propelled Paul Simon, the Democratic senatorial candidate, to a narrow win in Illinois."

LOL!

[karynnj]

26. only 13 percent???

That hair is amazing - and just as shiny black as it now is silver. He sounds so like he does now - especially when he kind of laughed.

[whometense]

27. Awwwww...

:loveya: :loveya:

See??? He's always been the same guy. Except for the lack of gray in his hair, that could be him talking today.

[TayTay]

28. You know, it's funny. I have such a clear recollection of Sen. Kerry

back when he first ran. (Gee, wonder why. LOL!) This is exactly as I remember. Tall, terribly thin guy that I wanted to give a sandwich too. (Seriously, that was always there. Never undereestimate the desire of women to want to feed people. It runs strongly in my family. We take in strays and feed them mass quantities. My brother calls it 'need to feed.' LOL!)

Yeah, I have that mental image of Kerry in that black overcoat standing at T-Stops, (I think) shaking hands either right before or just after an election.

[JI7]

29. he looks soooooo adorable there

this is the first time i saw this. i remember searching for it but couldn't find it online and don't watch the show reruns so don't know when JK would come on.
