Kerry looked like a dead guy on Meet the Press today.

[Jim Sagle]

Maybe it was the camera angle - I wouldn't be surprised.

He doesn't look anywhere near that gaunt on his C-SPAN appearances.

1. Oh fer the luvva God

[Jim Sagle]

17. As Mickey Spillane wrote, "It was easy."

[legin]

21. Yea lighten up Will

He put some words in the white bit this time.

[quinnox]

2. It was the lighting

It was very unflattering lighting. Maybe the camera angle too, not sure about that.

[AP]

5. They probably light him that way on purpose on NBC.

Kerry looks great when he's out in Iowa on the street or doing town halls. He has a sad face, but I and everyone I've seen him with thinks he looks great.

[quinnox]

10. Yea

There was one debate where the lighting was perfect on Kerry I remember, and he looked great. People on DU were saying it wasn't fair that the lighting for Kerry was so good, compared to the other candidates on stage, heh.

Did you have to say that?

[corarose]

7. Jr is dead man walking

[LosinIt]

[corarose]

Excuse me for the mistake I am still taking my Vicodent tonight and they make you high.

[Walt Starr]

14. Surprising

Kerry always looks undead to me.

:shrug:

[not systems]

15. I like how he looks

[virtualobserver]

18. maybe he should take it to the next level and grow the beard......

[Forkboy]

16. this thread ain't nuthin' but shit

[legin]

19. brillent

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[salin]

28. sorta like the pundits

gabbing on and on about Al's weight gain when he spoke in public last fall.

And the impact on the big picture is... exactly.... what?

[4dsc]

20. I was very surprised

at his lack of enthusiam!! Looked dead alright, just like his campaign!!

[Nashyra]

24. I thought he looked and sounded great

Watched the whole thing.

[Jim Sagle]

30. I don't think his campaign is dead.

[KC21304]

23. He looked just great at my house.

On my TV.

[Jim Sagle]

25. The more I think of it, the sorrier I feel for starting this thread.

BUT -

There are plenty of folks out there who don't give a damn for or against Kerry or any other Dem. If they saw what I saw - and I think they did - they'll write him off altogether. And they won't bother to tell us about it.

So I thought it was worth mentioning. Because I think NBC did pull a fast one with its camera lighting.

Remember Al Gore's first debate w/w? Remember the hideous, bright orange makeup? That's what I saw when I watched the debate on CNN.

When I watched snippets of that same debate later on Geraldo, Gore's complexion looked almost normal. Did CNN gimmick the lighting?

Just sayin', someone on Kerry's team, or a volunteer, should check into this.

[salin]

31. Worth noting

this bit of greater context in the beginning of the thread - would have changed the context altogether. No offense, but the original read more like a generalized swipe.

[legin]

32. .

:-)

[dsc]

26. Sounds like something Chris Matthews would say

and lest there be any doubt that isn't a good thing.

[Jim Sagle]

29. That hurts.

:-(

[oasis]

27. He lights up when he's near Teresa. Tune in on Inaugaration Day.

:hi:

[cliss]

34. Is Kerry OK?

I mean, is he OK health wise? I read recently that he had prostate cancer, and it's in remission...? Maybe he shouldn't be running.

What's the diagnosis

[arcos]

35. The cancer was removed early this year...

and that's not a reason not to run. Bradley had a heart condition, Cheney and Graham do too.
