2. please don't compare this lowlife to the Duke
Yes, the moment in the tank was kinda silly, but Mike Dukakis is a decent, honorable man who cares about his country and other people. The chimp is nothing.

4. How many hundreds of thousands did we pay for this photo op?
Just so baby bush could ride in a dune buggy.

5. In order for it to be a "Dukakis moment"
The media would have to plaster it on their screens 24 hrs a day for several weeks and spend all evening talking about it, like they did with Kerry when he visited NASA.

No one will ever talk about this photo in the media, so its not a "Dukakis moment"

6. Back from the moon
He comes bearing ripe green cheese for all.

What's with the casual shirt? His momma couldn't sew him a Junior Border Patrol outfit like that Star Trek Commander dress jacket he used to wear?

Tacky. Just put the fucking USCIS seal on the side or the green "Border Patrol".

20. As soon as I saw that pic I thought
chimp must be thinking, "Did we steal this dog away from Abu Ghraib to work the border?"

24. Why does Hastert always look like he's pinching in a major stinker?
Especially when his legislative record shows he's certainly willing to set loose more than a few stinkers whenever he can.

29. Why do I curse everytime I see photos like this? All I can think of is
white, wealthy, fat, fascists! Reminds me of pictures of Hitler.

30. sorry...i just don't see it-
there's nothing particularly goofy about either pic, especially in comparison to Dukakis with the tank helmet, or kerry in the 'moon suit'.
