The Johns need to go horseback riding a.s.a.p. Just because Bush can't.

[DS1]

Seems like a good photo-op to me, anyway :shrug:

[Az_lefty]

1. yep, good idea.

the shrub has that phony image of being a cowboy, but he don't ride horses.

[phantom power]

2. they'd have to make sure it was very rugged, manly horseback riding

otherwise, you can see the headlines: "Millionaire candidates spend afternoon riding, the effete sport of the wealthy."

[DS1]

5. right, no f*cking polo

:7

[Fleshdancer]

3. after that, they could demonstrate how to walk in a straight line

then they could write a sentence on a blackboard and show the public which word is the verb, adjective, and noun.

After that they could pass a lie detector test

Next, they could hold a dog without dropping it, eat a pretzel without passing out, and ride a bike and/or segway without falling off.

And for an encore, they could win the White House by getting the most votes.

Best laugh of the day!

Thanks!

19. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ROTF

4. I have this vague, sneaking suspicion (HOPE?)

that someone close to Kerry reads this message board...we have some really brilliant people here, and some of our ideas and exact words show up in his speeches. Wouldn't that be awesome?

[phantom power]

10. I agree, I was picking up some pretty strong "DU" vibes from

Kerry's speech last night. The whole "believe in science", "alternative energy" thing for one example. There were others.

I have a hard time believing that the DNC guys would have come up with those on their own, unless they had a real come-to-jesus moment in the last few months.

22. There is someone VERY close to the Kerry/Edwards campaign

who reads -- and occasionally posts -- to DU: Chris Heinz, son of Teresa Heinz Kerry.

Now, I'm not sayin' he's been leaking DU posts to his stepfather, but you never know!

[AnnInLa]

23. Wow...had no idea

Does he post under his own name, or a psuedonym? If he's reading this, he'd better camoflage his posts, or they will come back to haunt him, lol. Big Brother, Asscroft et al

[Merlin]

6. Why do you say Bush can't?

Just wondering.

[SoCalDem]

7. He's scared of horses.. he likes cows

:)

[trof]

9. Couple of reasons:

Pickles says he's a "windshield cowboy". Likes his truck, not horses.
Putin( I think it was) learned to ride before his first visit to Crawford, so he wouldn't embarrass himself. He was a bit disappointed to learn horseback riding would NOT be on the program.

[Snow]

11. You should look up the last Vicente Fox visit to Crawford...

all sorts of pics of * and Fox leading horses, none riding. Fox is quite a good horseman by all reports.

[kskiska]

17. I remember when that happened

Fox naturally assumed the Chimp rode, and when they arrived at his ranch two horses were waiting. Apparently, someone had to explain the situation. There are pictures of * patting a horse on the nose. They didn't ride. He was also offered a big sombrero from a guy but declined to put it on for a picture.

[Mr.Green93]

8. you are cold

[Joanne98]

12. Bush is afraid of horses

That's probably because he's a warlock. lol Really. If Kerry did a horse photo op, we could bring it up. Good idea.

[Fleshdancer]

13. Don't insult Bush....

it's not his fault he doesn't like horses. He's just not use to having anything big between his legs, that's all.

[DS1]

15. I'm cold, but you're smokin today

:evilgrin:

[Fleshdancer]

18. This thread is just too much fun

I can't help myself :evilgrin:

[janx]

14. HEY! Kerry has a place in Idaho, right?! The two of them

ought to go there and get some photo ops.

Idaho is gorgeous, rugged, and very western. It would make Chimpy's Texas ranch look like a dirt farm.

Horseback riding, definitely. Western saddles. And FLY FISHING.

[redqueen]

16. Fly fishing is a nice touch

Great ideas, DUers.

I love this place.

:loveya:

[AnnInLa]

24. god, you'll have them smokin' Marlboros next.....hilarious thread

[KittyWampus]

25. No, CUBAN CIGARS!!!

Loving these photo ops!

Kerry needs to get his photo in a flyfishing magazine...

[lapfog_1]

20. One photo of John

in jeans and boots and not all "duded up", riding the range
in New Mexico or Arizona, and * is done done done.

Course, the freepers would go crazy saying that John is pretending
to be something that he's not... to which our side just says, OK,
where is your picture of * out riding horseback? Just one, OK?
Or is HE pretending to be something that he is not?

[DS1]

21. Well, Bush was probably riding the "White Pony" in the 70s

:7

[napi21]

26. NO! That what Cheney does!!

I know this because a close friend of mine's son is a Secret Service Agent who drew the duty of protecting Cheney during the Campaign in 2000. He's a young guy, and had a good time in the trails of Wyo.

Let Cheney do that shit.

[seabeyond]

27. oh that would be the funniest. stop the most texans in tracks

with bush is afraid of horses and cant ride. i mean, i have just said giggle and casual cause i thought all knew, but not. they have literally stopped walking mouth open. lol lol lol lol

that would be the coolest
