The Metrosexual and the Cowboy
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.
Kerry still trails in actual horse-race polls, but aides say his performance was strong enough to rally his base and further appeal to voters ready for a change.
“I’m metrosexual — he’s a cowboy,” the Democratic candidate said of himself and his opponent.
A “metrosexual” is defined as an urbane male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.
Apparently, foxnews.com was running this story today. Needless to say, Senator Kerry said no such thing. Ofcourse, you would not find this anymore on their site.
However, one still has to wonder: How can they do something like this and not be held accountable? The more I am exposed to their ways and see their dirty tricks, the more I feel that the folks behind Fox News must be taken down. This must be stopped. Organizations, especially News Organizations such as these, are extremely unhealthy and dangerous for the health and well-being of a any democracy.

The article is still up, but a new article has been added with an apology. Of course if this were a real apology they would have taken the original down. And not posted in malice? hah. They want it spread far and wide.
Editor’s Note
Earlier Friday, FOXNews.com posted an item purporting to contain quotations from Kerry. The item was based on a reporters partial script that had been written in jest and should not have been posted or broadcast. We regret the error, which occurred because of fatigue and bad judgment, not malice.
