just wondering

How is that photograph of John Kerry sitting three rows behind Jane Fonda at a 1970 antiwar rally any more damning than that 1983 photograph of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein?

My question should not be construed as an endorsement of Kerry, nor should it indicate that I don't register the weight of historical context surrounding each image. Just strikes me as the sort of question one might consider asking.

Update: The images under interrogation can be found here and here. Probably should have included those the first time. Yes, clearly.

well dave, i think you answered it already.

he was sitting behind Jane Fonda. if thats not damning, i dont know what is. i mean, Rumsfield only shook hands with Hussain. who cares about that? we're talking about Jane Fonda here!
