Reply #28: It's not just the clothes, either.

His demeanor and weird little habits -- smirks, grimaces, arms stuck out from his body, etc. -- are all hilarious.

And I agree about ridicule being a potent weapon. I see no harm in it. And I would point out that we're just average, anonymous people speaking (anonymously) on a message board, which is hugely different from Republican convention delegates wearing purple heart bandaids, Lynne Cheney talking about Kerry's tan, or Karen Hughes and Karl Rove dressing up in camo for Halloween in order to mock Kerry's hunting trip. Our candidates and party leaders keep their comments about the opposition civil.

On the "average person" level, though, I think it's fine to use ridicule. God knows I've heard plenty of idiotic "Lurch" comments about Kerry or criticism of Teresa Kerry's hair from my Republican "average person" counterparts. So why the hell not point out what a boob their guy is in every sense? He actually does look and act silly. Works for me.
