Just as you think this silly story is going away some bureaucrat finds a way to breathe new life back into it. |
29 July 2004: NASA Ordered to Pull Kerry Photos Offline
Update: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has told NASA to remove all images of Kerry’s visit to KSC from all NASA web sites – immediately – due to Hatch Act concerns. Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry made a campaign stop at NASA Kennedy Space Center today. Kerry was accompanied by former Ohio Senator John Glenn and Florida Senator Bill Nelson.

Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., visits the flight deck of Space Shuttle Discovery during a tour of the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF). The “bunny suit” he is wearing is clean room attire required for anyone coming in close proximity to Discovery, currently being prepared for flight on the next Space Shuttle mission. The tour of the OPF follows a public meeting Kerry held at the Dr. Kurt H. Debus Conference Facility at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. He said he chose to speak at KSC because it symbolizes America’s commitment to science, innovation and technology. He and Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., are on a speaking tour prior to their appearance at the Democratic National Convention in Boston.
