From the Green Bay Press-Gazette:
WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has a new political attack group to contend with.Hopefully they'll be looking into this too:Two Washington-based lawyers supporting President Bush's re-election have registered an advocacy group, Football Fans for Truth, as a Section 527 organization allowed to accept unlimited political donations. They plan to publicize Kerry's recent sports misstatements such as his reference to the home of the Green Bay Packers as "Lambert Field" instead of Lambeau Field.
Other gaffes they hope to bring wider attention to include Kerry's talk of the Buckeyes - the nickname of Ohio State University's team - while campaigning in University of Michigan Wolverine territory.
Lawyers Jeff Larroca and Dino Panagopoulos, both members of the law firm Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, said in a conference call Wednesday they have no plans to raise large amounts of cash.
Instead, they hope to get free publicity from sports talk radio and other media.
"Our goal is to basically find ways to get out the political humor about John Kerry's unsuitability to be sportsman-in-chief," Larroca said.

Good thing it wasn't a spit... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Headzero | September 16, 2004 10:41 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Good thing it wasn't a spitball - it would have knocked him over. Someone needs to tell him he is supposed to keep his eye on the ball. But if they did they would probably be yelled at and hear 'That f(*&@ing reporter threw the ball into the sun!'

I like that "ELY" in the background...foretelling, it is.
'Cause, anyone who speaks French knows that the letter "Y" in French is pronounced, "eee".
Could be "e-lie," or, also, pronounced in French, "E" "L" "E"...extinction level event.

Finally.....PROOF that Kerry doesn't always adjust to a change in the wind.

Looks like "one too many football games without a helmet..." And notice, not a hair out of place; you think he uses hair spray (French, of course).
