Alpha Weenies

Instapundit and his little friends are all in a tizzy about this picture of John Kerry. They are saying things like:

“The whole look, of course, is appalling: the vest, the gloves, the botox.”

“Thanks for posting that picture of Kerry today. Right now the French are pursing their lips and narrowing their eyes in shrewd appraisal: ‘Daisy zipper pull, snowboard with mural graphics, sunglasses hanging from fleece shirt, thin vest-like outer garment. Yes. Clearly this man is the true Alpha Weenie.”

Hugh Hewitt says: “Just the man to instill fear in the hearts of our enemies.”

Oh yes. Alpha Weenies are so icky aren’t they? I know that when I saw this one I got a little bit nervous:

Here’s a little contrast that might be useful in determining the alpha weenieness of the presidential candidates:

Here’s Kerry going down a hill:

Here’s Bush going down a hill:

Look, George Bush can drive!

And his pick-up could go way faster down a mountain than that alpha weenie Kerry could, too. Way faster.
