John Kerry is currently in Spring Green, Wisconsin, which is located in the far southwestern corner of the county of which I am the GOP chairman.

(Is that enough clauses for you? Because I could put more in.)

Last paragraph of the Cap Times story:

And while most of the crowd seemed supportive of Kerry, three people dressed in dolphin costumes waited to heckle Kerry while holding signs that read "Flipper" and "Which way to Lambert Field?" the latter a reference to Kerry's recent gaff over the name of Green Bay's Lambeau Field.

Here's the picture that accompanied the story:



Caption: "John Kerry has a beer and watches the Green Bay Packers game Sunday with Dan DiMaggio during an unscheduled stop inside the Main Street Pub and Grill in Mount Horeb."

Notice the mugs. No, not the long horse face, I mean the beer mugs. Kerry's is full. The other guy's is nearly empty.

My question is this: is Kerry already on his second beer?

If so, that guy Dan ought to be ashamed of himself, letting a guy from Massachusetts get ahead of him like that.

Of course, it could be that Dan is about to finish beer #2, while Kerry is only starting his. That would make more sense, and if I've unfairly smeared Dan by indirectly calling him a girlie man, I apologize.

Regardless of how many he's had, somebody in Kerry's campaign ought to tell him not to gesture with his mug hand. He's going to have some serious sloshage, and wasting perfectly good beer is not the way to win votes in middle Wisconsin.
