1. I wish Kerry wouldn't wear orange or pink ties....it looks bad on him

:-(

[Eurobabe]

2. looks better than what Clark used to wear!

as much as I LOVED my candidate, he had a horrible wardrobe!

[JI7]

4. those sweaters ?

i think i know why he wore those. but i agree, i didn'tlike them either.

[slinkerwink]

7. I thought Clark had the best wardrobe!

[MoonRiver]

30. I never got past his gorgeous face to notice the wardrobe!

:loveya:

[JI7]

3. well, if it brings good luck

which it has so far i can understand why he wears it.

[flpoljunkie]

5. Geez, is that all you can say...

looking at this wonderful photo of them dining out in The Big Easy on a Friday afternoon--and apparently having a great time?

[slinkerwink]

8. all I'm saying is that pink or orange ties look bad on a guy's complexion

Image is everything in a general election presidential campaign.

[flpoljunkie]

10. I think it is perhaps the lighting and the background colors in this case.

I must admit, slinkerwink, my favorite tie of his is blue--which seems to suit them all.

[slinkerwink]

11. that's why blue is the best color to wear

I bought my older brother this excellent light blue tie. It had a kind of a wavy texture to it with a couple of rhinestones (which were really tiny chips) sewn into the waves. It was an awesome-looking tie.....I wish I had kept it.

26. Dark blue suit with thin gray stripes, light colored shirt and any blue

tie looks awesome...........may be why I wore it at my
wedding LOL

[Darth_Kitten]

33. maybe he should get his colours done.

;) :evilgrin:

He's a summer, or perhaps a fall. :evilgrin:


of course, fashion isn't everything. What were they eating? Looks pretty tasty. :D

[JI7]

6. they look really happy together, kerry should ask landrieu

to be his vp.

[Thrill]

9. hmmmmm

crawfish and gumbo hmmmmmmm

[drthais]

12. no no no!!!!!

If you were from Louisiana, you would understand
now, we love all the Landrieus
(her brother Mitch is our new Lt Gov)
but I'm afraid that Mary has copped out quite a bit
she has been representative of our
'Rebublican Democrat' wierd politician type

she voted for the (irk) Energy Bill!!!!!!
now, c'mon!

[ronzo]

13. Yeah, well... there was pork for our state.

She's figured out the game.
Sidebar...
We must defeat Vitter for Breaux's seat! Don't care much for vitter, myself. You in his district, too? :)

ed: typo

[BOSSHOG]

14. Vitter is scum

I live in Mississippi (Pearl River County) but I would come to Louisana and campaign against that neanderthal.

Senator Kerry is getting some fine chow in the Big Easy Today. Deanie's portions are obscenely large but they do have pretty good chow. I prefer the Alpine on Chartres.

[Moloch]

20. Landrieu and The Energy Bill

She had to do that,The energy industry gives too many jobs to this state for her not to. I'll probably get flamed for this but it's not like we have many other industries/jobs down here.

I don't like a lot of her votes either (IWR) but on many of them, Kerry and Edwards voted the same way.

21. Welcome to DU damkira. Especially glad to see another

Louisianian.:)

[tedoll78]

27. You're so right.

No flaming from me. I really do hope that our new governor finds a way to bring new jobs into the state.. a lot of people I know are tired of seeing their kids go to Texas for a job.

(And welcome!)

[newyawker99]

31. Hi damkira!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[JI7]

24. i think she is more liberal

but because she is from la she has to vote more conservative than she is.

[carolinayellowdog]

15. Deanie has wonderful seafood in huge portions

But it's not in the Big Easy but the hellhole Metairie-- unless it has moved since I ate there.

[BOSSHOG]

16. It hasn't moved

but they opened a shop in the Quarter (I believe its on Dauphine). Huge portions, not bad. So many other great places to eat within just a few blocks.

[ronzo]

19. I always drag the visitors over by the Acme...

Yeah you right.

[ronzo]

18. Yeah, there a few Deanie's around.

But according to Buddy D, if you ain't in Bucktown baby, you ain't at the real Deanie's.
How the hell can you go to Deanie's and not do the (fried) Seafood Platter. Pffff...

[zulchzulu]

23. I think that's by the marina near Lake Pontchartrain

I lived in Nawlins for 6 years and went to Deanie's once. The Oyster Poboy was overrated. Why go to Metairie when all you need is in the Quarter or maybe as far uptown as Tchoupitoulas.

And where the hell was JK's Guinness? Sheesh.

[GumboYaYa]

17. MMmmmmm...I'm hungry.

[Johnyawl]

22. OMG! They must be having an affair!!!!

Sorry. I was channeling Matt Drudge for a moment.

That Kerry's such a pig! How come all the food's on his side of the table? He's even got his beverage glass pushed clear over to the other side, in front of Mary. It looks like JK is about to do some serious chowing down, and poor Mary doesn't even appear to have a plate! :D

[dae]

25. lol, Drudge will be refering to you as his "deep undercover"

source at DU.:)

[Dover]

29. No, I think they're having crawdads....

I'm really hungry now.

[fujiyama]

28. Great pic...

but gotta agree about the tie...It's sorta goofy lookin on him!

[mndemocrat_29]

32. Thanks for the picture!

Love the idea of a Kerry/Landrieu ticket (though I agree that the tie does have to go).
