"He's a sweater and women don't like sweaters" - Bushies on Kerry

[RamboLiberal]

Another good illustration on how childish the Bushies get. Wonder why the female Bush groupies haven't been turned off by their boys flop sweat? The pics I've seen of Kerry on the campaign trail show I haven't seen any sweat. I've seen many pics where's *'s shirt is soaked. Hope this backfires on them and *'s face breaks out! This article makes it seem as if Jordan was rolled by Baker on the debate logistics.

Even as Kerry was turning the tables on Weld over the death penalty, he kept wiping a dribble of perspiration that was creeping from his right temple to his eye. "He's a sweater," chortles a G.O.P. official, "and women don't like sweaters." That's why Bush's team was happy to have the Kerry campaign climb down from its demand that the debate hall be chilled to below 70 degrees. The Jordan-Baker agreement stipulates that the debate commission use "best efforts to maintain an appropriate temperature according to industry standards." Whatever those are.

1. How FUCKING STUPID is that?

SWEATING IS GOOD FOR YOU!..SUCKERS!

If you don't sweat ..you back up your toxins. Doesn't bush, sweat?

I love it when I workout and SWEAT! Hello..SWEAT LODGES! SAUNAS!

[RamboLiberal]

2. Maybe next Kerry ad should show a flop sweat Bush

and close ups of his ugly face - make the women voters go e'wwww!

[Cha]

3. Yeah, isn't there a picture

of bush sweating ..around here someplace?

[Blue Gardener]

11. Yeah...He was at a rally

Nobody else was sweating, but he looked like he just ran in out of a downpour.

[JI7]

21. it was gross

i remember the kerry edwards rally in north carolina or somewhere else soon after kerry picked edwards for vp. and it was very hot and both were sweating.

but it was nothing like bush was sweating on that day when his shirt was literally dripping wet. and this was in a cooler time also.

[LittleClarkie]

36. Them two boys shore are purdy

Kerry gets an instant face lift when he smiles.

I love that smile.

And Edwards ain't bad neither.

[cheshire]

41. Yes but * sweat standing around not sexy at all. Looks like worry.

[deadparrot]

4. But women apparently love...

watching a remarkably simian-esque creature butcher the English language with a fake accent.

[prodigal_green]

5. as an athlete, I can tell you

that a quick perspiration response is characteristic of a healthy, well-trained body (yeah, the horribly out-of-shape sweat a lot too). You see, the body has been trained to anticipate activity and stress, so it kicks in it's cooling mechanism more quickly.

What don't women like? Guys who try to take away choice, who send our husbands, fathers and sons (and increasingly girlfriends, mothers and daughters) into harm's way for a useless war, who completely f*ck up education, who reduce any kind of childcare appropriations, etc.

[BlueNomad]

6. alcoholics

and drug addicts sweat profusely too. Also crackheads, folks caught with their hands in the cookie jar and legacy richy riches about to get fired.

[liveoaktx]

7. Oh.... well, THIS made me want to ralph (vid clip)

EWWWWW

[girl gone mad]

8. aren't there pills..

or something Kerry could take?

[liberalpragmatist]

9. This is actually a weakness

Nixon in 1960 was hurt by how he looked haggard and sweaty. If Kerry's sweating profusely, that could negatively impact swing voters, even just subconsciously.

I know, maybe I'm just being paranoid. But I seriously worry that this will be a factor, and I don't know why the hell the Kerry camp relented on this one.

[Cha]

13. bush will be SWEATING like the stuck pig

that he is! Kerry will be fine!

[eurolefty]

10. Scary!!!!!

Bush is non-sweating master debater! Does Kerry have any hope in the debates?

[madrchsod]

12. women love that

macho gunsligger style of his. he`s every woman`s romance hero in the flesh. i`m sure there are millions of women dreaming of bush every night of bush`s rock hard manhood!!!!
i should use preview.......

[tainted_chimp]

18. Blech! Ack! Pitooey!!

Please remove that horrid image from my brain now, thank you!

Oh the humanity!

[progressivebydesign]

22. "rock hard manhood"

Did he borrow someone's umm... tool?

[BloodyWilliam]

30. Bush's rock-hard manhood is how he got into TANG!

Thank you, tip your waitress.

[Nay]

35. Jeezus, I just ate. Stop that. The idea makes me want to Clorox

my brain.

[LittleClarkie]

37. Twitch

(full-body shudder)

[cheshire]

42. BS * is a pussy and I wouldn't let my dog hump his leg.

[emulatorloo]

14. Can't we just send all GOP officials/Bush Advisors to Gitmo?

Surely there must be some punishment for their endless bs.

From same article

<snip>

"The biggest test for Kerry," says a senior Bush adviser, "is whether anyone wants him in their living room."

<snip>

Bush is my living room is definately my idea iof hell.

[BlueNomad]

16. "Bush in my living room is definitely my idea iof hell."

...mine too,. All that sweating, belching, farting, and eye tic motions....

[emulatorloo]

20. Not to mention the SMIRKING. . . n/t

[CitySky]

46. I wouldn't risk the liability

He might choke on a pretzel or something, and I could get sued...

[Awsi Dooger]

15. Sweaters have been a factor already this year

Didn't Wes Clark take some undeserved flak for his choice of sweaters during the primaries, especially New Hampshire?

I can't believe we overlook so many real world factors, like not sighing or sweating. In 2000 at debate number one, I remember the Bush team was upset at the camera angle until they looked at a monitor and noticed how it emphasized Gore's weird facial paint, so they gleefully left it alone.

[bread_and_roses]

17. If women were as stupid as the GOP

thinks we are, the human race would be extinct.

[DemBones DemBones]

24. Too true! I don't understand any woman

liking the smart ass frat boy. Of course, there are woman who like to be treated badly.

[progressivebydesign]

19. Bush sweats like a pig and whines like a baby if it's over 75 degrees!!

This is utter bullshit. God, they're immature.

[patdem]

23. 'Women hate sweaters'? hell I must have 50 of em?? hate sweaters indeed?

this is too lame to even mull over. Women hate sweaters? Well, as I remember 'Horses sweat, men perspire and women glow'?? Just an old southern adage???

[IronLionZion]

25. Aren't there ways to keep Kerry from sweating?

like putting stuff on his face or something?

IMO Kerry really gave up a lot for these debates. But we need them to win.

Kerry should also wear a patriotic tie or a flag pin or something.

[kittykitty]

38. Botox! Yes, Botox is used for sweating. It's injected in the armpits

into the sweat glands. I don't know about forehead sweating. Don't know what glands cause this. But bush should get body Botox all over!
Ick.

[IronLionZion]

39. Bush should snort lines of blow before the debates

to help him concentrate!

[SidDithers]

26. Bush at work...

Not sure where Bart got it from, but there it is.

Sid

[SidDithers]

27. More

Sid

[Kadie]

28. There was another one from the campaign trial

a few weeks back. Sweating big time while giving his little speech.

[shindig]

29. Bush looked like he was sweating

at the United Nations this week. Ignored by the media though. Script says Kerry sweats. There is no negative script about Bush, so the media ignores anything that doesn't fit. Kerry=bad; Bush=good. That's the script. We have to win, despite that. Thank god for internet and now, AirAmerica.

[Sideways]

33. Shit On CNN International After His Harangue At The UN

They showed Bush wiping his brow with vigor. He was dripping like a fucking pig. It was so fucking hysterical I had to call my three year old over to see it. She already knows Bush is an Idiot but she said HE IS ALL WET MOMMY. She is correct.

[A_Possum]

31. Bush is a nincompoop

And as a woman, I can say with authority that we don't like nincompoops.

[grasswire]

32. how do they explain women's feelings...

...for Elvis, then?

Eh?

[blue neen]

34. I actually PREFER cardigan sweaters,

so the Bushies are (once again) wrong.

No, seriously how ridiculous are they? This just shows how desperate the Bush campaign is. Now they are going to concentrate on physiological functions.

[okieinpain]

40. he should use a lite coating of deodorant. my palms sweat a lot

when I go on job interviews I put some on my hands. not a lot, and just rub it in like lotion.

[Minimus]

43. bush with man-boob sweat

Bush initiates man-boob stigmata to shore up Catholic vote:

http://babelogue.citypages.com:8080/canderson/2004/07/21

[mitchum]

44. But bush is redolent of the odor of feces if Rove isn't there to wipe...

his ass for him. I imagine that women find that an even bigger turnoff

[Piperay]

45. OK, true I don't like sweat

but I hate stupidity more and besides chimp sweats like a pig anyway. :puke: :puke: :puke:

[skygazer]

47. Shows how much they understand women

Being a woman, I would much prefer an intelligent, amusing, witty man (say, like John Kerry) to a bumbling, moronic, macho, idiot who I'd have to spend my life giving the Heimlich maneuver because he can't even eat a pretzel by himself.

Sweat! Yeah, right!

edited to add - besides most of us realize we are not electing him to sleep with, we're electing him to run the country which Shrubby is doing a piss poor job of. Sweat away, Johnny! I'll wipe your brow!

[elperromagico]

48. Men often sweat while making love to a woman.

Do women not like being made love to? :shrug:

Must have missed the memo on that one...
