THIS is how one holds a baby...

[Crankie Avalon]

All through this campaign, I've seen photos of Bush holding babies as if they were cans of soup he was pulling down from his cupboard. It's painful to see--he never supports or protects their heads or spines. Ever. He holds them straight up.

Not once has he ever cradled a baby like in this photo.

6. I'm so glad to see this photo-It makes me crazy to see * hold

some of these babies. Almost always he holds them at arms length, or at least elbows length away. And, this passing the babies through the crowds so he can hold it up for two second is..... Reminds me of Michael Jackson dangling his baby off the balcony.

7. Boosh is repelled by babies just as Satan is repelled by holy water.

8. that is an adorable picture

Bush holds babies as if they were trophies--up to the camera while he grins at the camera and not the baby. More often than not, the baby senses the anxiety and starts crying.

11. Don't you think Kerry looks waaaay too patrician?

Hahahaha.....I'm kidding of course....I have to laugh at the morons on TV who keep describing Kerry as "cold, unfriendly, unapproachable and 'patrician' (whatever that means)", while at the same time they are saying this there is a film showing on the screen of Kerry, with smiles and hugs, wading into a happy crowd....It's ridiculous!
