I think Kerry is a hunk, anyone else?

[Generator]

and he's very manly. So there.

(yes I'm getting a savior complex, which means I have a Pavlovian response when I see or hear an intelligent, decent man that can take me out of this national nightmare that is Orwellian and seems to never end, it seems like a natural response to the presence of evil dumbya masquerading as the "common man")

I just BET he can ride a bike and chew a pretzel at the same time, while juggling his cell phone waiting for leaders of Western Democracies that he hasn't personally pissed off to call him back.


So double there.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

1. I'm a guy, so I don't know if Kerry's a hunk or not, but

He would be a much better President than George Duh-bya Bush and that's good enough for me.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

2. speaking as a straight male

I would say he's an attractive guy

[madmax]

3. I wouldn't kick him out of bed

but, my heart belongs to Wes. :evilgrin:

[Ruby Romaine]

4. he's presidential- unlike the current WH occupant!

[fairfaxvadem]

5. yes, not classicly so, but definitely yes...

he is pretty much the real deal. Absolutely NOT a boy pretending to be a man.

[Generator]

6. This is sad, it proves the negative trumps the positive

as the Kerry bike post has 130 replies, (and I know most are in defending him but still)

What's the man-woman ratio on DU? I guess "hunk" is just taking it too far?

Kerry is taller than Bush. That alone should get him elected.

They did a study on that, I think, but nevermind. He's still far hunkier man wise than any Bush.

[seaglass]

7. No. I appreciate his brain, not really interested in anything

else.

[Andy_Stephenson]

8. No

I truly don't...Now Howard Dean on the other hand...is a hottie.

[liarliartieonfire]

16. Hottie yes, and WHERE'S that pic of Dean as young college hottie??

Someone had it posted during the Dem campaign days...
What a baby!ooooooh He was about 19/20??

Anyone archive it?

[NYCGirl]

21. Your wish is my command...

[doni_georgia]

26. Just Damn! N/t

[shrike]

27. That's Dean??!!

Good lord.

[AspenRose]

34. Holy cow!

Check out that look! *whistle*

[liarliartieonfire]

41. AHHHH ..there it is!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Mercy!!! Mercy!!!
Thank You NYCGirl. A thousand times, Thank You.

lol(I'm freakin blushing!)

[nonconformist]

42. YOWZA!

:loveya:

[Justitia]

46. That is my favorite pic of Dean!!!!! What a sexy gaze!!!!!

This pic is prominent on the "Crushies for Dean" site. They have some others of him, just as hot with that enigmatic smile of his. What a sexy Scorpio. I see him smiling all the time now, so much more at ease these days and it looks really good on him. 'Cept for when he is kicking some serious ass, of course. Yay Dean! :loveya:

[GirlinContempt]

48. Oh yum

I feel dirty for saying it... but yum

[eridani]

52. Hey-- you caucused for Dennis!

But you don't want to do him--I know, it was the platform and the leadership on BBV.

Kerry's not bad, but I'd do Dennis if he were the polyamory type, which he isn't.

[Andy_Stephenson]

63. Yes indeed I did...

But there is something about Dean...flips my switch.

[LittleApple81]

9. Handsome no, distinguished, elegant yes. Sometimes this

makes him look aloof. In terms of looks, I prefer the warm and fuzzy Wes Clark... He has the bearing and toughness of a soldier but then he has those sweet puppy eyes...

[IronLionZion]

10. Nope, he can't win on looks

He definitely looks more intelligent than the chimp we have now. But I wouldn't call him a hunk.

[commander bunnypants]

11. um Hillary is a hottie

she can eat crackers in my bed anytime

I had to post something

DDQM

[Pastiche423]

12. A hunk of what?

[robbedvoter]

13. I think Paul Newman is a hunk. peeter O Toole and the guy from

Due South. . Anyone else?

[AspenRose]

35. Paul Gross! (Due South) Yes he's definitely hot...

[proud patriot]

14. I got to tell you this story about the lady at my Bank

I was wearing a kerry button on my blouse
The teller said " He is so Handsome don't you think?"
I agreed ...Made my day .

[West Coast Democrat]

15. He is handsome for a man his age

but I think Wes Clark is better-looking. Edwards is good-looking in a "cute" sort of way.

[chimpymustgo]

17. There are some pictures of Kerry where he is heart-stoppingly handsome

IMO.

He looks mightly Presidential. But maybe he ought to stay off the bike. It's kind of effete - and forchrissakes - you can't be falling off!

Get back on the ice - now that was WAAAAAY cool.

But yes, I think John Kerry is handsome.

[liarliartieonfire]

18. I think President Kerry is even more handsome when he has

Thresa standing next to him.
Ever notice how gentle he is with her?
I've seen the two in photos that make me believe they are two very sexy and "in love" people.

The way a woman wants her husband to acknowledge her in public and in private.
Devoted and sincerely in love.

[West Coast Democrat]

19. How is riding a bike "effete"?

I like a man with nice, muscular legs.

[chimpymustgo]

22. Yes, love nice muscular legs. But sorry, the spandex, the helmet,

the bike shoes, the VERY EXPENSIVE BIKE - just plays into the stereotype. And especially if he's gonna fall off.

Sorry, I know this is very politically incorrect, but you know that's how middle America sees it.

[West Coast Democrat]

25. Is the bike expensive? I didn't look closely

I think some people are reading into this a bit much.

[chimpymustgo]

28. The Boston Globe article said the bike is a "custom Serotta".

Read here on DU that'll set you back 6 grand or so.

For a bike.

Look, I don't begrudge him a custom bike - he's an avid biker. I'm just saying how it looks. Just more ammo for the asshole media.

[West Coast Democrat]

30. So the media reported Kerry rides a spendy bike?

what next?

[Iceburg]

33. Its about $3Gs but if you are an avid cyclist

and an exceptionally tall one, there's not much that you can buy off-the-shelf.

[bklyncowgirl]

60. More wind surfing pix

I think Kerry's a good looking guy. I mean how many men his age could you imagine doing all the sports he does--and wear the clothes he wears to do them, but I agree--lose the spandex bike outfit. Wear cut offs or something to show off those legs but please no spandex.

I don't know what it is about biking clothes--just a total turnoff for me. Maybe he needs to tone down the colors. Effete no, just dorky. On the other hand, I guess there's something attractive in the idea that maybe he doesn't really care what the press or the public thinks about his sports outfits. He's just gonna wear what works for him and the sport.

I was looking the other day at Reagan riding his horse in high English boots and old-fasioned peg top breeches. I have to admit it, he looked awesome. I imagine if a Democrat wore such an outfit to enjoy his favorite sport--or chose as Reagan did to practice what in the public mind is the more "effete" version of that sport (in his case riding English instead of Western) the right wing media would have a field day.

Summer's coming. I'd persnally like to see some more pix of big John windsurfing.

(By the way if there are any horse people out there I don't think riding English is sissy. I do both English and Western and can tell you than anyone who will point a 1,000 pound animal at a large jump has guts. As for what can happen if you do it wrong--think Christopher Reeve)

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

20. I think I must have the savior complex too, because

one night I had this weird dream that I worked in a museum and Hitler's head was in an old display case and the hat kept falling down, so I kept trying to fix it and I thought, this really should be in a climate-controlled case.

Then it turned out that John Kerry was a big important brain surgeon and he was going to come in and fix it and I felt relieved that the responsibility was off of me and he was going to care of the situation. I thought, "Wow, he's a brain surgeon on top of everything else, we sure do need someone smart like him!"

So save us from Hitler's decaying brain, please, John Kerry!

[sandnsea]

23. My 20 year old daughter thinks so

"He's kind of hot, for an old guy." And she's marrying a weight-lifting construction worker who looks like Woody Harrleson, so I think she's got pretty good taste in HOT!

[doni_georgia]

24. Saw him in Atlanta and was struck by how good looking he is

He's also quite charismatic in person.

[MoonRiver]

29. He's attractive and very presidential in appearance.

But I'll tell you Clark does a lot more for me. I can say that being a happily married monogamous person!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

31. No he isn't.

And the reason is: I am a thoroughly heterosexual male. NO homo sapiens having a Y chromosome is a hunk. No one. ;)

[absSineofZero]

32. Since you asked...No I don't

The botox has ruined his facial expressions and he should lay off the botox. He would have a more "hunk" frameset if he had not married into all the expendable cash he has. I guess if I had all that money to spend I would spend it too but I would not do the botox thing. Lookism never impressed me.

[ForrestGump]

58. And that's quite enough from you

From beyond the grave...

[Exgeneral]

36. It's only a matter of time until we see a speedo shot isn't it

please god no

[mindfulNJ]

37. He is a handsome man...

Very presidential IMO.

[bullimiami]

38. was frankensteins...

monster a hunk?

[ForrestGump]

59. Check a mirror and tell me

[m-jean03]

39. Yeah, he is handsome

and has SO MUCH more dignity than the Incontinent Chimp, who has none.

He strikes me as quite gentle and very respectful of others, also.

[smirkymonkey]

40. Yes, he is totally my type...

tall, dark, handsome, liberal, intellectual...Also, I have seen him in person, and he is quite sexy and charismatic.

I think pukes have a problem with sexy Dems - I have never met an appealing Republican, EVER! They completely lack sex appeal. Maybe that's why they hated Clinton and his Penis so much.

[nonconformist]

43. I think he's an attractive man, but I wouldn't call him a hunk myself

Dean, hunk. Clark, hunk. Kerry, not so much. But he isn't nearly as unattractive as people try to make him out to be.

What do I think when I see Kerry? "damn, that man looks presidential as hell!"

[prodigal_green]

44. That is so weird, I was just talking to a friend on the phone

and I had CSPAN on in the background. Volume was down, but I told my friend to switch over to that channel so she could see him. I think it is the eyes--they actually look like there is something going on behind them. It is that spark that can make a person attractive, regardless of his or her features. I'm glad he's getting his money's worth with the shorter haircut now too.

But OMG! That picture of the young Dean! Wowza!

Anybody got a young Clark out there?

Maybe we can put together a calendar to raise money (young, hot and talented Democrats).

[LDS Jock]

47. any Dem calender

needs to have a picture of Chris Heinz in it too. What a hottie!

[liarliartieonfire]

49. OH Yes..Chris Heinz is a dolly..

Dem Calendar??
Great concept. I was impressed by the collective "handsome-ness"
of the whole group of dem campaigners. Can't recall what the function was..maybe NY fundraiser..Bill Clinton was on stage with the others.

We have at least 12 of them I'd say.
Clinton, Kerry, Clark (yumm), Edwards, Sharpton, Kucinich, Dean, Gephart (yes, in blue jeans and flannel, a barn, a horse, bales of hay...)lol, who am I missing now?

And the Grand Lady of the tour, Carol Mosley Braun ( don't think she can't play to the camera??)

Any more? That's only nine..


Maybe it the full moon tonite. lol

[LDS Jock]

50. I think Al Gore is handsome

Loved him with the beard and back ten years ago or so, he was a mighty fine looking man.

[MrSlayer]

45. C'mon, let's not get carried away here.

Kerry is not a good looking guy. The comparisons to Frankenstein's Monster are as apt as the comparisons of Bush to a Chimp.

[Speck Tater]

51. Honest answer? Think Lurch on the Addams Family.

Of the original candidates he was my fifth choice, but now I suppose I have to vote for him even if I don't like him.

[AnnitaR]

53. Nope! But this guy is:

[Piperay]

56. Pant, pant, pant...

:bounce: Clark is HOT HOT HOT!!!! :9 :9 :9

[Qanisqineq]

57. He is sooo hot!

My husband gets so jealous every time I mention it. But he is unbelievably good-looking!

[Piperay]

54. I do...

plus he is intelligent, which is a big turn on to me. :9 :bounce:

[durutti]

55. Ew!

Okay, granted, I'm a straight guy and so I'm not as attuned to these things, but... ew! Just ew! The guy looks like Lurch! (Not that that will stop me from voting for him, of course.)

[ScreamingMeemie]

61. Not my type...sorry.

:hi:

[FemaleDemfromMass]

62. Yes!!

I think John Kerry is handsome, but I've always thought that.;)

[CWebster]

64. He looks like a corpse

that a mortician has attempted to pretty up for the viewing.

Like trying to make Harry Dean Stanton look like JFK.
