GOING THE DISTANCE Following in her father's footsteps, Vanessa Kerry is training to run in the Boston Marathon. John Kerry's youngest daughter is studying in London on a Fulbright scholarship, but told friends in a recent e-mail that she's training for the April race. (Her father has said he competed in the late 1970s.) In the e-mail, Kerry said she's running as part of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's marathon team and invited friends to visit the Dana-Farber website and make a donation supporting cancer research. (Among those who've responded are famous friends: singer Carole King and Al Gore's middle daughter, Kristin Gore.) Reached yesterday in Bozeman, Mont., where her mother, Julia Thorne, lives, Kerry declined to specify her reasons for running the marathon, but said that her parents, both of whom have been treated for cancer, are an inspiration. ''It's for everybody I've known who's had cancer," said the third-year Harvard Medical School student. ''It's a way for me to be involved in something positive and proactive after the election."

Funny, but when you inspect the official results of the Boston Marathon in the Back Bay neighborhood of the Hub City, you'll find that John Kerry is not listed as an official finisher in the time period he purportedyly ran it. He claims, however, to have been an unofficial registrant, and ran it as "a bandit."

[RockinRight]

You scared me. I thought you meant she was gonna run for President...

[Semper Paratus]

A lawyer witnessed him barely finishing a 5k road race at that time.

[HMFIC]

Kinda like that SUPER SECRET mission he ran in Cambodia with that CIA agent that the CIA never heard of.

[ken5050]

A generl rule of thumb is that the Boston Marathon ain't the best choice for your maiden effort...like..LOTS of hills..

[jec41]

If she runs like her dad no one will ever know it.

[ken5050]

Rosie Ruiz bump!!!

[American Butterfly]

I thought the same thing too!...lol

[el_chupacabra]

I gather if she runs for this charity she does not need to meet the qualifying time. Probably a decent way to get into the race.

(been trying for 8 years to qualify. still not there yet.)

[jslade]

I wonder if she'll run with a see-through jersey?

[martin_fierro]

RUN, VANESSA, RUN!

[One Proud Dad]

Help me out. Why does someone who's father is wealthy need a scholarship to study abroad?

Anyone?

[Zeppelin]

just read the article. this guy has delusions of grandeur! not only was he in cambodia and vietnam simultaneously in '68, he was in boston and new york at the same time in '86, and to top it off, he runs marathons and doesnt even keep mementos! Omnipresent? This guy thinks he's God.

[HMFIC]

I think that if she eats a good diet, rich in HAY and OATS, with molasses as well, she'll do fine.

[quantim]

No doubt the local Hamster Society will turn out some support.

[Semper Paratus]

Why does someone who's father is wealthy need a scholarship to study abroad?

Her Father has squat thanks to a pre-nup and a 3 million dollar mortgage on his only property.

[Porterville]

Tits Kerry wants to run a marathon like Lyrch? That's not hard, Tits just has to lie.

[RexBeach]

This IS pricelesss! LOL! Thank you!

[Fudd Fan]

But her mother is still loaded, isn't she?

[76834]

I wonder if she'll run with a see-through jersey?

Was wondering if this is the same daughter that showed her "knockers" back during the campaign.
Didnt look that bad but I've seen lots better.
You would think that with all that money she could afford implants......

[daisyscarlett]

Is it okay to post this photo from PEOPLE magazine here?...Sorta related...

Barbara Bush resumes a normal life after the election....Maybe we will have a White House wedding?

Barbara Bush nestles close to her beau, fellow Yalie Jay Blount, during a shopping trip in NYC, near Little Italy (02/05/05.

[HMFIC]

Yeah, on plenty of GIN and RAISINS.

[Semper Paratus]

But her mother is still loaded, isn't she?

Yes, Step-Mother.

[LYSandra]

That was my first thoguht too!! So every time Kerry's do something it's going to make news?

[Fudd Fan]

no, her MOTHER... Julia Thorne, the first meal ticket

[rockabyebaby]

>>>Kerry daughter wants to run (Says she will run Boston Marathon "just like her dad.")<<

Bwahahahahahahahaha kerry never ran!

[One Proud Dad]

Still, I bet Her Royal Heizeous gives him an allowance. He makes more than I do.

[Jhensy]

SWIFT-FOOT VETERANS FOR TRUTH.

[EllaMinnow]

I recommend a really good sports bra. The poor thing doesn't need any more sag.

[Lizavetta]

Hope she doesn't throw a shoe.

[Baynative]

[Peter Jennings]

Last time I checked, you had to qualify for the Boston Marathon by running another Marathon in a certain time.

I guess the usual rules don't apply to prviledged Democrats.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

OK photoshop can be fun.

LOL you owe me a KEYBOARD.

[HMFIC]

Yeah, she pulled up lame a couple of weeks ago, that healed, and now she had a few burrs under her saddle. The vet perscribed rest and lots of oats before the race. I think he wormed her too.

[queenkathy]

Do you think she will be running in a see through dress? That's what either her or her sister wore at the Fashion show before the election. Maybe it was her sister. And why is her sister on a scholarship? Can't she afford college? Isn't there someone less fortunate who could benefit from that scholarship she is using?

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Check out the picture for post 31. I need a new keyboard.

[HMFIC]

No, no. That way, they'd have to SPEND some of THEIR money. Better to spend OURS!

[queenkathy]

Think I read that wrong. Maybe it's her that is doing the scholarship thins.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

He claims, however, to have been an unofficial registrant, and ran it as "a bandit."

In the Rosie Ruiz division, no doubt.

[TXBSAFH]

I would run for that family too.

[nikos1121]

Yeah, I understand she's training with Rosie Ruiz.

Does that mean the hospital was 5k from the crash site?

[deport]

Vanessa Kerry is training to run in the Boston Marathon

---

Whatever her reasons if she can run the 26 miles then she deserves some credit.

[Baynative]

I don'think you want mine...

[HMFIC]

No, he was spotted near the divorce court trolling for a rich meal ticket.

[Polyxene]

Can't this horse-faced hyena tell the truth about anything??!! SHEESH!! He even lies about being in a foot race!! Thank God he is NOT our president!!

[Baynative]

In John Kerry's world you have to qualify for telling a lie by telling an even bigger lie the next time.

[76834]

No, he was spotted near the divorce court trolling for a rich meal ticket.

I think you are wrong friend, last I heard he was hitting on Arafat's ex-squeeze.

[queenkathy]

Article states she is following in her dads steps...That means from now on they will refer to her as they do her dad...Every article begins..."john kerry, FAILED democratic presidential candidate".

[HMFIC]

You're right. He WAS spotted in the Mid-East. I guess he heard that Mommy-T dumped his name so now it's time to bag another meal-ticket.
