I saw a reference on another site to John Kerry not tying his necktie, and how this would supposedly make him unqualified for public office. What's the background on this fresh hell?

6. That's what I was hoping to find by asking on this forum

I dunno the source, it just came up in a conversation on another (multipartisan) forum. This was the phrase in question:

"Well, I see nobody has voted that John Kerry will learn how to tie a tie.. I guess he's hopeless. How can you expect to be the leader of a country when you can't even do something simple like learn how to tie a tie?"

2. Its a half Windsor, isnt it?
I have never seen an image of him less than presentable.

Are ties going by the wayside?

3. I believe the implication is that...
Kerry is so rich that he has a butler to do that. Maybe wrong (both that he has one and that is the implication)

5. It's not his tie, it's somebody else's tie
He was just pretending it was his tie and pretending he tied it when he really didn't. :-)

12. I heard its a clip on
The tie manufactures of America have banded together to claim he's unfit to lead.

But in other news... we've handed back portions of Iraq to Saddam's generals, we are torturing prisoners, and outing CIA operatives in violation of laws invoked by George H Bush.

I suppose it's another "Bad week" for Kerry.
