Bush afraid of losing "motorcycle vote" to Dems

[NewYorkerfromMass]

well, Kerry specifically... although, how this reporter determined that Bush has the upper hand (when he can't even handle a Segway) is beyond me:

To the politically desirable "soccer moms" and "NASCAR dads" add "Harley-Davidson couples." These aging wild-thing baby boomers are fast becoming the target of presidential candidates because they're active voters, hip, independent, and relatively wealthy. It should come as no shock, for example, that Sen. John Kerry is wooing them from the back of his own Harley. But you've got to give the edge to the Bush team and biker-in-chief Josh Bolten, the president's budget Boss Hog, for turning the vote George W. Bush's way. He owns three motorcycles, two Harley Fat Boys--one brand-new--and an Iowa-built Victory that he parks at Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch. But Bolten's more than just show. He brought a 100th-anniversary Harley-Davidson gas tank to the latest cabinet meeting for Bush, Vice President Cheney, and the agency heads to autograph. And after he clear-coats it, Bolton plans to present it to Harley officials at the company's 100th birthday party in Milwaukee this month. "That's called," said an insider, "political giddyap."

4. So now we know

what the meaning of his "helmet hair" style is all about...

That's as far as I can go without an actual website. I'm not good with technical stuff on the net.

(Note: you might have to hit F11 to make it look right.)

Actually, mediawhores, buzzflash and bartcop would all get a kick out of it.

6. Harley Davidson

Oh...how we seem to forget...

Harley-Davison was bailed out by the federal government in the 1980s. Just a FYI for all those limited government Harley riders, who I know some are they are cool, but...

7. Clinton did well with Harley workers.

Remember how they cheered him at the plant in York, Pa.?

[DrFunkenstein]

[chimpymustgo]

16. Kerry looks fabulous on his bike.

As do many men and women over 40.

17. Having had a couple hep cat boyfriends with Harleys

I assure you what I am seeing these days are fat hogs, bellies hanging over the seat, making a noisy and disgusting display (my old run-down truck driving honey calls it the sound of "bad intetestines", lol), shattering the peaceful afternoons of our pastoral reverie. Jerks.
