Best of Wapo gallery pics. Who is the guy to the left of Kerry?

[bear425]

He's wearing a red tie and red scarf. Doesn't it look like Jack Abramoff?

There are some really excellent photos in this gallery. Kerry and pics in particular are moving.

Some are hilarious.
Look at #3 - The Black Tie and Boots Inaugural Ball - The attendants look like the
ultimate in grace and good taste, no? :P

Here's the link:

1. It is Sen. Tom Harken.

[bear425]

11. Ok, thanks. I couldn't place him and thought he looked like J.A.

thought I might have found the "smoking gun". ;)

[graywarrior]

2. Those are great photos.

[KyuzoGator]

3. Holy hell, look at Photo #3 in that gallery.

Bushbots are so fucking wretched.

I must admit though, the quality of those images is stunning.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

6. The one in the red hat

better hitch those things up before they hit the floor!

:rofl:

[MuseRider]

7. Is that what I think it is

coming out of the lady in red's top? Egads!

[havocmom]

12. Woman in red in pic 3: proof you can be too rich and TOO thin

Also proof $$ doesn't assure taste or make one presentable.

Um, madam, your dress is slipping off your saggy hide and your falsies are jumpin the corral fence. Nice hat though. Yee, haw!

[sallyseven]

29. is that Rep Schmidt fro Ohia?

[Ilsa]

31. That's her pet possum coming out to play. She had it hot-waxed

earlier in the day. Doncha know? We Texans won't be seen with those prissy designer handbag doggies -- no, it's possums.

[Ilsa]

32. Photo #3: They all look shit-faced, and the blue dress was stolen

from my matron of honor.

[bear425]

16. Yes, regardless of the subject,

the quality and compostion are stunning. #3 is absolutely hilarious to me.

edit: welcome to DU :toast:

[Glimmer of Hope]

25. Agree - The Post has some talented photo journalists.

#3 is an interesting choice.

[lolly]

4. Woman in Red Dress

With the weird cheek implants--

What's going on with her breasts? Seriously--she seems to have 3 popping out of her dress.

I know this sounds catty, but for G-d's sake, who would go out in public, much less an inaugural ball, looking so thoroughly trashy?

[txindy]

10. Oops. Someone's padding slipped into view.

HAHAHAHAHA! :rofl:

[Inuca]

14. What a contrast in class...

#3 --> #4

[thefool_wa]

19. Only a bush supporter

Apparently Bush is the ONLY thing she is supporting.

:rofl:

[txindy]

5. I think that guy in the red scarf is a bit too old to be Abramoff

And they wouldn't put him on the grandstand. He's a behind-the-scenes guy.

[tularetom]

8. Check the cleavage on the one in the red hat

in pic #3. Is that strange or what?

[tocqueville]

9. I like the one with Chirac kissing Condi's hand and Bush watching

and Bill seems to have fun...

[ddeclue]

13. Maybe Jack Abramoffs DAD!

That guy has to be at LEAST 65.

15. Photo #3

What the heck is wrong lady in red's clothes?
Is her dress sliding off and taking her left breast with it?
What IS that?

[Sydnie]

17. check out #10 Rummy looks like Boris Karloff!

Unbelieveable!

[phoebe]

20. looking his usual paranoid self - just checking to see if it really is

a camera in the room and not another ghost of a dead soldier come to haunt him..

[TahitiNut]

24. The photographer went LOW to get the 'halo' effect.

How low can they go? Nothing's lower than Rummy.

[thefool_wa]

18. Neat Pics

Pic 1: Is that Little Babs and Jenna in the lower right? Which one is the brunette (I can never remember).

Pic 2: One should not advertise that they wear falsies (woman in red)

pic 6: I don't believe Uncle Bill was that close to GW and didn't punch him in the mouth for ruining his political legacy. I would have done it, even at the Pope's funeral, and I'm Catholic.

Pic 9: What is that blue thing on spectre's finger?

Pic 16: Is Dodd taking a crap? His face is awful red.

That was fun.

[Pirate Smile]

26. Dodd and Kerry are frustrated and exasperated during the Bolton Hearings.

Who can blame them? The lunatic never could get through the Senate.

[thefool_wa]

28. Lunatic is going easy on him.

I mean why not just give the UN the finger and not send anybody? That's what they did in March 2003 and have done every day since.

[madfloridian]

21. Ok give a link to the other photos.

I went to the gallery itself, and I still see just the one of Bush being sworn in.
:shrug:

[Sydnie]

22. Click the next button on the bottom of that pic

or one of the rectangles under it to get to another picture.

[madfloridian]

23. I just clicked the bottom of the picture...don't see a next button.

That is weird. I don't see any writing across the bottom of the picture at all. Just guessed where they would put the next button...odd.

But clicking the bottom of the pic worked.

[bear425]

27. were you able to see them?

Perhaps you have the hide captions button chosen. Other than that, I don't know why you don't have writing across the bottom. Hope you can see them; they're good.

[madfloridian]

30. Strange. I went to the WP homepage, choose Politics

Found the pictures there. I could at least see the bottom of the picture, but still could not see the Next. I have the latest everything on this computer, and I usually see slide shows or whatever.

But at least it worked when I clicked the bottom right of the picture where I think next would be.

Weird.
