Fox News Pulls Item With Fake Kerry Quotes

[NNN0LHI]

http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBY54W2TZD.html

WASHINGTON (AP) - Fox News apologized Friday for posting phony quotes from Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on its Web site.

Carl Cameron, a Fox reporter who covers the Kerry campaign, wrote an item that looked like a news story with made-up Kerry quotes, said Paul Schur, a Fox spokesman. The item was not intended to be posted on the site.

"Carl made a stupid mistake which he regrets," Schur said Friday night. "And he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. It was a poor attempt at humor."

The phony item posted early Friday read in part:

1. So what were the made up quotes for, repug only release?

Its a news organization. Its making up quotes. It wasn't supposed to go on the web site. What WERE they for?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

5. somebody apparently took a report from

the "made up shit NOT FOR PRINT" bin. Big mix up, see, they should have pulled from the "made up shit FOR PRINT" bin. See, honest mistake.

[Inland]

6. The right wing nutbags have to get their lies from somewhere, is this it?

A Fox paralell organization for the lies that can't even stand the Faux News Channel?

[americanstranger]

11. I saw the article, and I think I know what it was.

The entire article was written - except for the quotes, which were completely made up.

My guess is that Cameron wrote the article and was going to wait for Kerry's campaign appearance to get quotes to put into the story, and the fake quotes were placeholders for where Kerry's real quotes would go. I'm guessing he filed the story without remembering he hadn't gotten any real quotes (or got the real quotes and didn't update the story but filed it anyway), and it ended up on the web site.

Having said that, the quotes were just stupid and not even funny. Cameron should be made to ride in the baggage hold of Kerry's plane - just for being an idiot.

Josh Marshall was on this all day today.

42. In my letter to Fox I told them to replace him

A real professional uses things like "ZZZ" or "Kerryquote" so that a search engine can easily find them. I do this when I need to temporarily rename a folder or a file. A coworker got fired years ago when he thought he was being funny with a customer's hard drive. The placeholders he used were dirty words and he forgot to remove them. The customer had enough computer savvy to notice this and call the manager.

Real professionals proofread.

Carl Cameron is an amateur and has shown it to the whole world.

[snippy]

34. Excellent. I think you are right. n/t

[RaleighNCDUer]

45. LOL!

[JohnLocke]

69. LOL! (nt).

[crossroads]

75. LOL Good one!!!

:kick:

[JoFerret]

53. That's what the link is for!

But don't bother they were infantile and misogynist attempts to slur Kerry as a man. Very feeble, very unfunny.

[ThoughtCriminal]

2. Says a lot

They're so used to their own propaganda, that they did not recognize it.

[Spiffarino]

3. Kick his ass out of the caravan.

:wtf: is Faux "News" doing in there, any way? Is the Washington Times covering it? The Star? The Weekly World News?

Ban that Shrub-worshiping whore now!

[kokomo]

4. believe that Karl Rove wanted the lies implanted in the 'merican mind!

He has pulled this slime before, once a whisper campaign that a judge was a pedophile. Rove has absolutely no morals.

[Generator]

63. Yep, which reminds me, some have said Cheney is into gay sex with animals

I think that was on Drudge..but anywhoo, it can't be true, but still it makes you wonder doesn't it?

[olddem43]

66. Impossible - Cheney is against gay sex -

He only has sex with animals of the opposite gender.

[LiberalFighter]

68. Sex with animals of the opposite but pretends they are same sex

[fishwax]

87. The Scalia doctrine

holds that as long as there are multiple animals involved, Cheney's in the clear.

[IkeWarnedUs]

95. Remember the Scalia/Cheney duck orgy n/t

[GOPFighter]

7. It's nice to know what...

...the Fox reporter covering Kerry really thinks of him. He should be pulled from the assignment and assigned to covering Nader.

[trueblew]

10. Absolutely, He has shown CLEAR bias and POOR Judgement

[July]

43. Can't the Kerry campaign insist that he be replaced?

Why should they cooperate with someone who cannot manage a professional approach to his work?

Of course, Fox would just send someone as bad as or worse than Cameron.

[alarcojon]

100. Someone in the campaign should bring it up

I think Carville would be good.

The repugs whined about CBS's Bob Schieffer moderating one of the debates. I don't think they believed they could get Schieffer booted; they wanted to energize their base.

We could mention how this CLEARLY shows Carl Cameron's negative attitude towards Kerry. Let's make sure to get out the Fox-hater vote!

[proud2BlibKansan]

56. You know his wife is a bushie

She worked on dumbya's campaign staff in 2000, while he was the reporter assigned by faux to cover the dumbya campaign.

We need to write every other major media outlet and DEMAND they report this story.

Carl Cameron needs to GO DOWN!! Dan Rather has more integrity in his little finger than Cameron has in his entire body.

And if any of you have not yet seen OUTFOXED, watch it ASAP.

[Rose Siding]

8. Gives them a chance to reprint the offending quotes

:grr:

[kokomo]

9. Working for Fox means never having to say you're sorry!

[onehandle]

12. I saw this "Story"! I was wondering what the Hell it was!

ASSHOLES!!!!

[onehandle]

14. This is where it was when I saw it.

Fox News Pulls Item With Fake Kerry Quotes



Jay

[hiphopnation]

80. done

thanks

[AndyTiedye]

15. Actually a Pretty Good Parody of a FauxNews Piece

from the quotes there, it looked like a pretty good self-parody.
More of a hit on Faux than Kerry methinks.

[benddem]

16. I'm astounded by DUs passivism

after the Rather trashing. We should be calling, writing, faxing and emailing FAUX news and demanding Cameron's resignation.

25. don't forget the FCC... this is a clear breach of the

public's trust in using the airwaves. Even though it was not on the airwaves, the web is considered that for TV networks.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

26. I agree and I nominated it for te homepage

[Mr_Spock]

37. Yes, we MUST get that Bush crony Cameron fired

That smug little weasel was so open about his Bush campaigning in the Outfoxed video as to be without any credibility.

NOW this weasel shows his hatred/bias/bigotry of the other side with this stunt. This kind of weasel cannot be allowed to be on the air and we need to do whatever it takes to get him removed from his position.

I'll write to Fox as well, but a petition with a million names on it would carry more weight. This guy must go.

Edit - I did send a nice letter to Faux addresses above, but I think we need to do more. Though anybody who doesn't send them a letter now can't complain about Faux.

[Chiyo-chichi]

54. Exactly my reaction.

He should be fired. He's not fit to clean Dan Rather's toilet.

[GodHelpUsAll2]

55. I couldn't agree more

After reading this I said outloud to my SO, this man and Fox should be gone after in the same manner they went after Dan Rather. Only in Fox's case, their BS was made up intentionally so in my eyes it is far worse. I for one will be pounding Fox and demanding the resigination of not only the reporter but the person in charge of approving the piece and everyone else who should have "done their homework" but didn't!

[Liberal_Dog]

17. And They Say "The Daily Show" Is Fake News

Looks like Faux News is trying to get in on the act.

[Dr Fate]

18. Fraud! Forgery! Fire all those involved!!!

Is Dan Rather now working for Fox?

[UTUSN]

19. Bwahahahahah! n/t

[johnfunk]

20. In all honesty, FOX should can conflicted Carl Cameron

-- Wife has worked for Dim Son's campaign
-- The piece seemed to have been orchestrated to create "facts" to drive hatred of Kerry among rubes who don't fact-check and believe everything that Freddy FReeper forwards to them
--- ... and besides, when he's not being a flagrant Chimpfluffer, he just plain sucks stale shit as a journalist.

[nodictators]

23. The Repubs always claim it's a "mistake"

From Fox: "We regret the error, which occurred because of fatigue and bad judgment, not malice."

From the "not malice" article: "The item also quoted Kerry as saying of himself and President Bush: 'I'm metrosexual - he's a cowboy.'"

Now, be sure to pay your cable bill so Fox can continue to bring more "not malice" "news" into your home.

[JusticeForAll]

27. A mistake?

If Repugs ever claim a mistake, it surely ain't THEIR mistake! It's usually some low-level intern that gets the blame...or wait...

CLENIS!

[johnfunk]

28. A mistake. Yeah, right...

... it doesn't pass my smell test, nor does it Josh Marshall’s:

"Our day-in, day-out coverage by Carl Cameron has been extremely fair to Kerry, and the Kerry campaign has recognized this," [Brit Hume] says.

"We did a lot on the Swift Boat Veterans. We thought it was a totally legitimate story and found it an appalling lapse by many of our competitive news organizations that were treating that story like it was cancerous." But even there, Hume says, "we were abundantly fair to John Kerry's side."

Please... someone... cue the laff track!

But wait! Check out this ditty from MediaMatters.org:

FOX News Channel chief political correspondent Carl Cameron echoed false Republican charges that Senator John Kerry's recent statements explaining his position on the war in Iraq contradict his earlier statements. On September 21, Cameron played and read a series of clips and quotations of Kerry -- many of them also listed in Bush-Cheney '04 and Republican National Committee (RNC) campaign materials attacking Kerry -- and suggested they were contradictory. In fact, they are consistent.

"Extremely fair. Yeah, right, Brit.

[kokomo]

83. Now Fox has posted an "interview" with "Communists for Kerry"!

From Fox..............

"We're trying to get Comrade Kerry elected and get that capitalist enabler George Bush out of office," said 17-year-old Komoselutes Rob of Communists for Kerry.

"Even though he, too, is a capitalist, he supports my socialist values more than President Bush," Rob said, before assuring FOXNews.com that his organization was not a parody group. When asked his thoughts on Washington's policy toward Communist holdout North Korea, Rob said: "The North Koreans are my comrades to a point, and I'm sure they support Comrade Kerry, too."

It is unclear whether the Kerry campaign has welcomed the Communists' endorsement."

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,134268,00.html

Fox will interview any nutjob if they think it can harm Kerry.

[St. Jarvitude]

93. There is no way these guys are real communists

Every commie I know never, ever, EVER uses the word "Comrade" for every goddamned person under the sun. It's only a bad cliche.

[NeoConsSuck]

36. Well, after what you just pointed out..

he's probably one of the Fux's most valued employees. Can him is the last thing they'll do.

He'll probably be given a raise & promoted.

--edited for sarcasm.

[enki23]

21. glad about all the "fair and balanced" treatment from fox

good to see they have assigned a professional, objective reporter to cover the democratic presidential candidate's campaign. they're all fair and balanced like that.

oh, fuck it. like anyone's surprised at this point. fox is just fucking thumbing their nose at any sense of journalistic integrity. this nation is fucking retarded, and i want the fuck out. even if kerry is elected. the asylum is still an asylum, no matter who is in charge.

[RareLubbockDem]

22. Fox? Fake news? GET OUT!!!! No way!! eom

[pa28]

24. Another "fair and balanced" reporter.

I wish somebody would tell me where that "Liberal Media" is again so I could give it a try.

[tom_paine]

29. Translation: We got caught

Get used to it, assholes!

Got spoiled by having the propaganda playing field all to yourself for decades, did'ja?

Well, NOW we're watching, and your bullshit Pravda is going to be much harder to get away with!

[gauguin57]

30. I don't want to hear one effing word about Dan Rather or CBS

from these clowns.

[TheWebHead]

31. well the upshot about this perhaps

is that Faux will be at least embarrassed enough to pull in the reigns on their right-wing bulldog "Campaign Carl" thru Nov 2nd.. He might be better off being sent to cover Lacy Peterson and leave the politics to someone else after this and his F911 cameo.

[MADem]

32. Go after their advertisers

Every time you see an advertiser on FOX, send them an email. Tell them what kind of crap Fox pulls. Reference the articles dealing with the issue. Tell them you can't support an advertiser who does business with a fake news organization that engages in smear tactics and slurs. Ask them to insist that Cameron be fired.

[goforit]

33. Take them to court!!!............Misinformation!!!!

[benito]

35. Credit where it is due

to this snippet of the article-
Asked about the incident, Kerry spokesman David Wade said: "America would be stronger if only George Bush could admit his mistakes as easily."

That is the campaign focus that will be required for the next month to win this election. Everyone knows that Faux is a sham. If anything can get tossed back to *Bush to keep *him* off-balance, it should be done.

[iamjoy]

84. I Noticed That Too...

thought it was a good response, that Bush should admit his mistakes.

Welcome to DU benito

[Sinnerman]

38. Faux Nuze Just trying to spin there Way out of it

Carl Cameron of Faux Nuze is just trying to spin, cover up, the bad night GW had. For once Justice is served now every body knows that bush can't compete with Kerry is this arena. Watch come Monday this race is dead heat. The so called 6-8 point lead is now over and after the next debate which favors Kerry We will have a 4-5 Point lead. Period

[Nobody]

39. I wrote a scathing letter to Fox

I demanded that he be removed from this assignment and called his behavior highly unprofessional.

[Mr_Spock]

40. So did I - everyone needs to write these folks !!

He was caught on Outfoxed swooning over Bush and bragging about his wife's involvement in the Bush campaign (2000)

Now he is showing his hatred of his opponent (Kerry) who he also happens to be covering as a news reporter for Faux news. Unbelievable.

[Judi Lynn]

46. Ohhhhh. So HE'S the one in Outfoxed!

I surely remember that segment, as will anyone who saw it! Good Gawd Almighty. Utterly contemptible.

Ugly, 3rd rate people. Shabby. Insignificant. You'd look right past that man on the street and never see him. Probably why he's so damned bitter.

A human being could not have bowed and scraped any more recklessly than he did to _Bush on Outfoxed. I think even _Bush should have been ashamed for him.

[dansolo]

41. Will he get the Rather treatment?

Dan Rather made a honest mistake. This action was intentional. But will the rest of the media pile on like they did to CBS?

[tavalon]

89. "the rest of the media"?

You say that as though anyone who works at Faux could be called part of the media. They are propagandists, that's all, and not very good ones of late.

I'll write my letter tomorrow. Tonight, I am having a good laugh at their expense. What morons!

[MallRat]

44. Rather didn't FABRICATE quotes. Cameron should be destroyed for this.

n/t

[ignatius 2]

47. Accident, yeah right. These disgusting pig bastards just got caught and

that Cameron dude ought to be fucking fired. Liars who support the all time champion liar, Little Whiny Bush Boy.

[Fleshdancer]

48. Something isn't quite right about Fox's excuse....

Am I right to concur that the fake quotes were put in as "place holders" and were suppose to be replaced with real quotes after Kerry made his speech yesterday?

Here's the problem, if you click on this link, you can see the actual screen capture of the fake story yanked off of faux:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x945204

If you scroll down, there's the fake Kerry quote about how he's a metrosexual and Bush is a cowboy, but the next paragraph isn't a fake quote, but the actual definition of what a metrosexual is. Does Cameron also insert fake non-quote paragraphs for no reason? What kind of journalist would do that? Was he really expecting to use the metrosexual paragraph?

[Tsiyu]

50. FU(X) Commentary

They are NOT a news source. Nothing they report is "new.'

FU(X): We are up Bush's rear. We are scared to death of Kerry ( and the truth.) All Bullshit-All the time.

My cousin who works for them is e-mailing everyone telling them to vote for Kerry, so those lower on the chain aren't fooled. Perhaps someone from the inside will bring their house of cards down.

[Fleshdancer]

52. whether we like it or not, they're considered a major news network

I agree that they report on nothing more than propoganda, but the problem with dismissing them is that they are rarely held accountable when they screw up royally.

Cameron is the chief political correspondent for the network. He wrote a fake story using fake, homophobic quotes about Kerry, and the network reported it. This is unacceptable.

Millions of people get their news from Faux so we can either dismiss the network and go on allowing them to do stuff like this, or we can finally hold their feet to the fire and hit hard enough to make them realize they have a responsibility to tell the truth. The first step is to demand that Cameron gets fired.

[Mandate My Ass]

67. Exactly, this "mistake" had to have gone through

several editors before it made it onto the web site. I'm to believe nobody caught this until someone on the outside pointed it out? Puh-leaze. :eyes:

[jimshoes]

73. Sound like it was a hit piece

and he tried to get it under the radar so later on some freeper type could link to it and pass it off as genuine. Mistake my ass. This was deliberate. This creep should be held to the same standards as Dan Rather was. If I recall, the freeps were calling for Dan's head on a platter. What goes around, comes around.

[tavalon]

90. Good point!

[Bullshot]

49. So, where's the outrage over this?

All of the media pundits wanted Dan Rather's head on a platter and proclaimed that CBS's credibility is down the toilet.

Granted, this is a different type of medium, but it's attached to Fox's news division and is to be interpreted as factual to those entering their website.

Or, does the country already know that Fox is just basically a mouthpiece for Bush/Cheney and shrug it off?

[cthrumatrix]

51. nope...only "truth exposers" like CBS get the hook

[MallRat]

57. Reprimanded? WTF? He should, at a minimum, be suspended for a month.

Get him off the fucking airwaves, especially now.

-MR

[lasttrip]

58. lets get Joe "rathergate" from MSNBC on it.

didn't he hammer Rather and CBS every night for over a week? Play fair Joe.

[funky_bug]

59. My hubby made a Freudian Slip that should stick

He woke me us this morning with a warm cup of coffee and this latest bit of news... in his enthusiasm to share the story, he referred to Fox News as "fucked news."

I like it - sounds accurate.

[SilverSurfer]

60. First the Vietnam Veterans now this...

If it isn't one thing it's another...

[Ohio rules]

61. The phony item posted early Friday read in part: ---For those that didn't

go to the link--

"Rallying supporters in Tampa Friday Kerry played up his performance in Thursday night's debate in which many observers agreed the Massachusetts senator outperformed the president.

"'Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!' Kerry said Friday.

"With the foreign-policy debate in the history books, Kerry hopes to keep the pressure on and the sense of traction going.

"Aides say he will step up attacks on the president in the next few days, and pivot somewhat to the domestic agenda, with a focus on women and abortion rights."
'It's about the Supreme Court. Women should like me! I do manicures,' Kerry said."

The item also quoted Kerry as saying of himself and President Bush: "I'm metrosexual - he's a cowboy."




These are not cause to sue for slander.

[wildwww2]

62. I`ve seen Cameron on C- span a couple of times. Talk about a

patronizing lying pile of bile. A person would have to be super gullible to believe anything that weasel said in the first place. IMHO.
Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President

[upperleftedge]

64. Faux

Is it just me or does anyone else hear "News at the speed of lies!" when Faux does its ID? Maybe I'm just getting old and my hearing has been destroyed by years of Rock & Roll, but I swear that is what I hear. Sometimes I think they really are saying "lies" just to rub our noses in it.

[upperleftedge]

65. Old quote

I was inspired by the old quote "A lie will make it around the world before truth can put its pants on."

[goodhue]

70. wow

Cameron probably knows a thing or two about manicures.

[johnnyrocket]

71. It's all a joke to them huh? A 'news source' putting out jokes....

well, well with ABC putting out 'magical' reports on debates that hadn't happened, and Fox putting jokes on as reports..'The Daily Show' is looking more and more like the only reliable news source these days.

[TiredTexan]

72. Here's my letter to Fox...........

Wasn't it just last week that Fox News was tirelessly flogging CBS for its airing of a story with a document critical of George Bush that may have been a forgery? What a journalistic travesty, Fox claimed, its sanctimony dripping with barely concealed glee.

Well, it seems to me that having a political reporter create false quotes designed to smear is far worse. At least the "forged" documents aired by CBS contained truthful information. Not so with Fox's political correspondent Carl Cameron. He just materialized the Kerry quotes out of thin air. And at least CBS received the documents from an outside source. Not so with Fox. Your reporter simply generated falsehoods from within. No need for that messy outsourcing that brought down CBS.

I'd like to say that the ironies presented here are delicious, but I just can't get the bad taste out my mouth. If Fox had any journalistic integrity whatsoever it would have never assigned Cameron to cover Kerry in the first place given the fact that Carl's wife is on the Bush campaign. If Fox wants to continue to pretend that it has any integrity left remaining, it will remove Cameron from the Kerry campaign, and assign another of its "unbiased" correspondents (or at least one that hasn't been outed yet, quite so blatantly).

But, truth and fairness never were Fox's strong suits, were they?

[Pharlo]

82. I opted to stick with a print analogy in my response

Here's what I sent:

When Jason Blair printed false stories, 'The New York Times'
terminated his employment and its two top editors resigned
in disgrace.

I certainly hope 'Fox News' intends to implement a similar
action in response to an intentional abuse of journalistic
professionalism by Carl Cameron.

[RamboLiberal]

74. They've pulled another stunt - check this out this gem today

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,134268,00.html

<snip>

Of course, there were some Kerry supporters in attendance who had no doubts whatever about their candidate.

"We're trying to get Comrade Kerry elected and get that capitalist enabler George Bush out of office," said 17-year-old Komoselutes Rob of Communists for Kerry.

"Even though he, too, is a capitalist, he supports my socialist values more than President Bush," Rob said, before assuring FOXNews.com that his organization was not a parody group. When asked his thoughts on Washington's policy toward Communist holdout North Korea, Rob said: "The North Koreans are my comrades to a point, and I'm sure they support Comrade Kerry, too."

It is unclear whether the Kerry campaign has welcomed the Communists' endorsement.

http://www.hellgate.org/disclaimer /

"Communists for Kerry" is a campaign of the Hellgate Republican Club, a tax exempt non-partisan public advocacy "527" organization that exists for the purpose of;

"Informing voters with satire and irony, how political candidates make decisions based on the failed social economic principles of socialism that punish the individual by preventing them from becoming their dream through proven ideas of entrepreneurship and freedom."

Our members help elect candidates who support economic growth through Entrepreneurship, limited government and lower taxes. Communists For Kerry is separate and distinct from the Communist party of America and any of its organization. None of it's members are members of any communist organizations.

Hellgate Republican Club and it's registered campaign "Communists for Kerry" was established by Charles Finney on 07/01/2004 under Internal Revenue Code section 527 with the EIN Number 20-1317757. The Club's principle officers are:

[whattheheck]

79. wow! that is amazing, and it's still up 2 hrs later!

hard to believe that fox hasn't seen fit to edit that line:
"Even though he, too, is a capitalist, he supports my socialist values more than President Bush," Rob said, before assuring FOXNews.com that his organization was not a parody group."
- if you go to the website (linked to within the same article!", you can see plainly that the group is a parody group.

[tavalon]

91. found this just now on the Faux website

Editor’s Note:

In an version of this article that was published earlier, the Communists for Kerry were portrayed as a group that was supporting John Kerry for president. FOXNews.com’s reporter asked the group’s representative several times whether the group was legitimate and supporting the Democratic candidate, and the spokesman insisted that it was.

Terri's Note to Editor:

FOXNews.com's reporter might have done the tiniest amount of background research on the group's origin before taking their word. But wait, I guess that would constitute journalism, wouldn't it?

[AngryOldDem]

76. Reprimanded? Why not dismissed?

>>>And he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment.>>>


Back in the day, people actually got their asses fired and professional reputations ruined for "lapses in judgment" such as this.

[kerryin2004]

77. Anyone have a list of Faux advertisers??

I would like to get a list so I know where not to shop and what not to buy.. This Faux network posted the advertisers of 60 minutes and I think it is time for us to return the favor!@ IMO There bullshit has gotten way out of hand!!

[Rex]

78. House Dems demand a full investigation into why a "news organization"

would allow obvious lies to be released as news...then they remembered it was FOX news.

[Pump Man]

81. Bush show up for a knife fight without a knife What ashame!

Carl Cameron the little weasel! Fair and Balance my butt

[JohnnyCougar]

85. who's e-mailing all the media??

we need to get that cut and paste list of major media e-mail addresses and phone numbers. Let's make our voice be heard!!

[chill_wind]

86. Email tools

Here is a great tool for creating mail campaigns that is FREE.
I used it very recently to create a mass email protest of the biased Time/CNN/USA Today Gallop polls and effusive reportings in the media.

http://www.citizenspeak.org/

Here is my own list of emails painstakingly culled for invalid or bouncing addresses. I had also subcatogorized them (for my project above). These were all valid AFAIK as of a couple weeks ago. May they be put to good service by all so inclined here over the next weeks and months to come:-)

92. Just saw "outfoxed"

A whole lot more applogizing to do there folks.

94. OK, so where is the call to fire these people?!?

Not sure I'd fire him for a bad joke, but it's clear he's totally biased.

[The Night Owl]

97. Inane Carl

What a tool.

[Tight_rope]

98. Fire the motherfucker!

101. You know, now that I think about it...

...it did appear to me that Bush must have forgotten to put some "product" in his hair, while I really liked the way Kerry's Tie "Popped" with his suit.
