Kerry Windsurfs, Bush Cheers
I'm wondering why are all these people making fun of Kerry windsurfing. I haven't seen any pictures that deemed ridicule.
I have, however, seen pictures of Bush cheer leading. Am I not wrong that he was a cheerleader in college? Why is this not at least 100X funnier than Kerry windsurfing? Why aren't people passing those pics around?
I personally believe this kind of shit is irrelevant, but if they're going to stoop so low, why don't we return fire? Seems like we have way more ammo.

2. I don't even find that so funny
I've fallen off my mountain bike a few times.
It just seems like the picture of Bush cheerleading would be more effective since most of his supporters are homophobes.

3. They want to paint a picture
It's kind of pathetic that a President who has taken as much vacation time as President Bush wants to portray Kerry as the idle rich.

7. Plenty of regular people ski and windsurf
They just might relate to Kerry for that reason alone. Otoh, how many regular people sail on their rich daddies's yachts?

4. You would think so.
I can't understand why anyone would think there is something wrong with wind surfing. Sure, it isn't exactly lion taming or live grenade juggling, but come on.

What sports do we ever see Scrub participating in?
Professional deep nostril exploration?
Death row inmate mockery?
Acrobatic bicycle dismounting?
Pretend chainsaw wielding?

Sheesh...

5. Why don't we return fire?
Well, the Democratic leadership has decided that it would be nicer to just play nice and stay above that sort of thing, because if we were to actually look like we were trying to win, why, ,,, Oh, never mind.

6.  Falling off Segway and partying on yacht off Kennebunkport & golfing
We have all seen the pics of babyBush falling off the Segway and on the motor boat fishing off Kennebunkport but our cowardly snarky media thinks only Kerry is fair game. I hope Keith Olbermann and Jon Stewart and some of the late night comedians at least will show some pics of babyBush and his 'elite' sports activities.

8. we have MUCH better ammo
than * stumbling...

the insipid chimp thinks that Iraq is a subject for LAUGHS...

from his revolting hunt for WMDs in the WH to his current campaign snickering about Kerry's position on Iraq.

9. Windsurfing takes balance.. Balance has become unAmerican?
Windsurfing takes nuance. Ditto.
Windsurfing does not burn fossil fuels. Ditto.
Windsurfing takes inner strength. Ditto.
Windsurfers know how to work WITH nature. Ditto.

10. You know, it's amazing what has become Un-American
Drinking any sort of special coffee (latte, expresso) is Un-American. Listening to PBS is un-American. Eating ethnic foods such as sushi is now un-American. Watching or reading anything educational is un-American. Being intelligent enough to see things in ways other than black and white is un-American. If you're a celebrity, you're un-American if you have an opinion. (Oh, excuse me, only if that opinion is not right-wing.)
The list goes on and on. It's really creepy.
