Kerry on Orange Alert.

I dont think I could make this up if I tried..... [Hat tip - DRUDGE]
KERRY ON ORANGE ALERT: SKIN TRANSITION ON EVE OF DEBATE

Just days before Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry is set to take the stage in a debate opener projected to be seen by 70 million, photos show the senator dramatically taking on color.

Is it the late September Wisconsin sun during debate prep that has turned Kerry's face to rich pumpkin-colored hues?
Or is it because Halloween is right around the corner....
Or has he been campaigning in the rust-belt?

Kerry advisers defend the sudden deep tan transition, noting how it simply was from a game of flag football last Friday in Bedford, Mass.

But the College Democrats who met Kerry were surprised by his rich tan glow -- before the game even began, the HARVARD CRIMSON reports.
Personally I think its yet another flip-flop from [absent] Senator Waffle.

Jaundice, perhaps? Liver giving out from tee many martoonis with Mrs. Howell? Or is it a common reaction to the application of artificial tanning gunk? Enquiring minds want to know, but don't really care...
Could it be a delayed reaction to...... Agent Orange? He was in Vietnam, it must have seared his skin.

#29  Shine a penlight in his mouth. He may be "pumpkin positive."

#28  He is just trying to pander to Floridians for the orange vote.

#27  My sister-in-law has a franchise. Picking the dye colors and intensity is critical to avoiding results like this. The crowd that's into Botox is also into this.

Tom, has your sis considered a joint marketing deal with the dermatology/Botoxmeisters? After the election she could probably sign up Thurston and Lovie together.

Two for one. Imagine if Liddie Dole could have sold vibes alongside Bob's pitches for prickpills.

#25  Perhaps he's trying to win the Florida vote by appearing to be a giant citrus fruit.

#23  I think it's a spray-on "tan" done with an air brush. My sister-in-law has a franchise. Picking the dye colors and intensity is critical to avoiding results like this. The crowd that's into Botox is also into this.

Interesting that the campaign would lie about this. Just one more lie in a pack of them.

#18  He's lucky that he went for the arctic orange shake. Things could have been worse.

#17  Earth tones, Senator. Deep olive would go nicely with the orange glow. And remember, no black for Lovie.

#15  Dan,
I can understand everything Bush says, also and my daily intake of tequila helps me understand Kerry. I was for Bush in 2000.

#10  Is my guy flip flopping again?

With Kerry's flip flopping and Bush's second language, being English. This going to be a debate to watch.

#7  JFK was relaxed all right.

#6  I think I'll get a bucket of KFC and watch the debates and laugh my ass off at Senator Horseface trying to define a position or answer. There will be plenty of coulda , woulda, shoulda and plenty of foreign alliances etc....
Why even as I speak I'll bet the MSM has already got their template all set to go after the debate showing Hanoi John as a clear winner in the "debate".

#5  He needs Martin Sheen's makeup team.

#4  QT alert! Kerry's AlGore's cosmetician and tanning-booth operator must be Rove operatives..heh heh

#3  Snicker, trying to follow the JFK playbook a little too closely. Remember, the real JFK had a nice tan and looked relaxed during his TV debate with Nixon. This was credited with helping him win the election. So our boy Johnny wants a good tan, but he's too busy to get it the old fashioned way, so he goes for "Tan In A Bottle". And turns "Oompa-loompa" orange.
