I want a pic thread

[TayTay]

I have no idea why. I just need a pic thread.



Damn, maybe it's a combo of the man and the uniform. Damn!

Sigh! I think Sen. Kerry had a good day today. He got some supplies to people who needed it. The major Air force base in his home state that was slated to close, won't. And Sen. Kerry got to be nicely snarky about the brown resignation. All in all a good day.

Ah, hell, let me throw in a fav, for the heck of it.



I love that pic.

8. I like the pics with the kids

They'll cry if Bush is around. :rofl:

[whometense]

10. True.

I love the kid pics too, because kids just know. And he always looks so happy to be around them.

9. He looks so presidental.

:patriot:

[Island Blue]

12. He's such a family man

I love how he so often campaigned with his siblings last year (or other family members). With Shrub, you might occasionally see Jeb but never Neil or Marvin. I wonder why? Oh yeah, that's right, BECAUSE THEY'RE CRIMINALS!!

Thanks for all of the photos, especially the ones of him in jeans. It's only 6:30 a.m. and I've already got the vapors!!

[ginnyinWI]

15. in the family they all call him "Johnny"

I got this from his godson, who I heard speak last year. He drove up from Chicago to speak to us campaign workers. He's the son of a college chum of Kerry's--is it Bundy or some name like that? So to him, JK is "Uncle Johnny". :)

[foreverdem]

14. Soooooo Hot!

MMMMMM...those eyes! :loveya:

[jillan]

28. I wanted to post this so badly the other nite when these pics were posted

My daughter walked into the room and saw the pic of Kerry and his sister, and said
"Wow, John Kerry has really big hands."

It was one of those mom moments when it is nearly impossible to keep a straight face:P

[TayTay]

29. That comes up at the oddest moments

doesn't it. And yeah, he does.

[whometense]

30. He sure does.

I absolutely love that picture because it captures what very very few photos do - his normal expression when unguarded. He has an extraordinarily gentle and soft look.

[whometense]

4. Look!!! Not afraid of horses!

With crude oil prices at a record high, Kerry on Friday offered a 10-year, $30 billion proposal to move the nation toward energy independence. Under the measure, aides said, American companies and consumers would receive financial aid to develop and buy more fuel-efficient motor vehicles.

7. Now I get the horse pictures???

Where the hell were these last year?? I never saw them and I begged Dick to put JK and Teresa on horseback. Aargh!

And they're such great pictures too. *sigh*

[JanusAscending]

11. Good Golly Miss Molly!!!

And he even knows enough about horses, that you always feed them with a flat open hand!!! Is there anything this man doesn't do well? Hmmmm, fantasizing again! I've been alone too long!!:blush: :blush: :blush: Teresa, you're one lucky lady!!

25. That Grand Canyon pic brings back bad memories...

I remember hearing that him and Teresa were in a fight, that she didn't sleep with him that night. (I don't think I could ever get THAT mad at him:P ) So actually John is being very brave in that pic.

That was also the location where he said a line about Iraq that has haunted him. I won't repeat it, only positive Kerry thoughts from now on!

[whometense]

6. And, oh yeah, he's so mean to the press -

No wonder the BOSTON GLOBE reporters hate him...

13. Thanks Whome!

I knew I could count on you!

Wonderful set of pics. I love the 'horsepics.' They are just great.

Let's see, JK does well with animals and kids, two groups that are hard to fool. Hmmmmmm. This speaks so well of the man.

17. You show me a daughter

Geez, nice pic. And I just love Vanessa. Ahm, Dr. Kerry. (She must be an MD by now, right?)

U.N. Representative: So, Mr. Evil...
Dr. Evil: It's Dr. Evil, I didn't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called "mister," thank you very much.

[whometense]

23. my thought, too.

He looks so young in that picture!

[karynnj]
