"Apparently, [John Kerry] still believes it’s 1984, and the only photographers are from the Globe..."

"... and if they take another embarrassing shot, he can just call Mr. Winship or Mrs. Winship and get it killed. Now, embarrassing photos go around the world when the Globe is Photoshopping tomorrow’s halo above Liveshot’s exquisitely coiffed mane."

J Lee বলেছেন...: Heinz must be in bad economic shape if that's the only form of peddle transportation the Secretary of State could afford to buy -- having been in politics for 40-plus years one way or another, he certainly knows what the attributes of a good photo op are, and should know what creates a bad one (especially at a time when the Secretary of State isn't looking all that powerful in dealing with world leaders).; ৯/৮/১৪, ৭:৫৬ AM
Bobber Fleck বলেছেন...: John Kerry gives the other one-percenters a bad name.

Speaking of other one-percenters: Hillary appreciates John Kerry for making her look good in her accomplishment-free stint as Secretary of State.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৮:১০ AM
Dan from Madison বলেছেন...: Compare and contrast this to Bush cycling on his mountain bike.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৮:২৮ AM
Martha বলেছেন...: Yesterday the Daily Mail had a photo of Hillary and Bill taken on the first day of their summer vacation on the beach in the Hamptons. Hillary wore a shapeless blue muumuu and slippers.--less attractive than Kerry on a pink bike.

Being in the public eye and being photographed when you think you are relaxing and decompressing is enough to make sane and balanced people to eschew pursuing a public life.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৮:২৯ AM
Martha বলেছেন...: The photo of Hillary in muumuu:

Hagar বলেছেন...: It is amazing, but Mr. Obama's crew is also about the most inept retail politicians I can remember of a Democrat administration.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৮:৪৯ AM
Ignorance is Bliss বলেছেন...: My God! This man is only four heartbeats away from the presidency and he's riding that deathcycle without a helmet?; ৯/৮/১৪, ৯:৩৪ AM
George M. Spencer বলেছেন...: A tired old man a woman's bicycle.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৯:৪৩ AM
Kelly বলেছেন...: I give him points for not wearing a helmet.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৯:৪৯ AM
CWJ বলেছেন...: Helmet? What! Cover up his hair? You don't understand his priorities.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৯:৫৫ AM
Achilles বলেছেন...: The ground would bounce off his hair.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৯:৫৮ AM
The Cracker Emcee Refulgent বলেছেন...: The bicycle shot actually makes me like Kerry more (or despise him less). There should be a point in the life of a man when you stop caring how every little fucking thing makes you look. That doesn't mean the habitual wearing of sweatpants to Wal-Mart, but if I want to ride a bicycle and the only available one is a pink girls bike, then I'm riding it. I would draw the line at any kind of partnership with John Edwards, though.; ৯/৮/১৪, ১০:২০ AM
Hagar বলেছেন...: One major trouble with John Kerry is that he does not know where or when to draw lines.

Hence his testimony before Congress 40 years ago.; ৯/৮/১৪, ১০:২৭ AM
exhelodrvr1 বলেছেন...: Him and Obama make a great pair, don't they?; ৯/৮/১৪, ১০:২৭ AM
Big Mike বলেছেন...: He's a dork. He has always been a dork. And he does what dorks do.; ৯/৮/১৪, ১১:১২ AM
Sunslut7 বলেছেন...: Time to put the bottle of ketchup back into the refrigerator.; ৯/৮/১৪, ১১:৫০ AM
Scott বলেছেন...: I love Howie Carr..; ৯/৮/১৪, ১২:৫০ PM
নামহীন বলেছেন...: Has anyone stopped to think, that right before that picture was taken, a ten year old girl was crying to her mother, "That awful looking man just took my bicycle!"; ৯/৮/১৪, ১:১৩ PM
traditionalguy বলেছেন...: Cut him some slack. Maybe there w only two bikes left: one a pink girlie one and one a black manly one. So the gentleman Kerry unselfishly let a butch dyke take her choice.; ৯/৮/১৪, ১:১৪ PM
MDIJim বলেছেন...: Scott, I cannot listen to Howie Carr for more than five minutes. He follows Limbaugh here in ME and it is a jarring transition. Still, he is a welcome corrective to the Globe's hideous sucking-up to liberal politicians. You would think they'd be embarrassed to be the newspaper of record for a state where half the legislature is either in jail or on their way to jail or under indictment or should be indicted, and yet, somehow, the Globe, with all of its patronizing columnists, has failed to notice.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৩:১৭ PM
Freeman Hunt বলেছেন...: Never be well known.

Imagine if total strangers were trying to take your picture all the time. Horrible.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৪:৪৯ PM
furious_a বলেছেন...: All that picture lacks is the handle-bar basket with the plastic flower on it.; ৯/৮/১৪, ৭:৩০ PM
