Do you happen to know if Kerry's dad married a rich woman? The thought wandered in yesterday.

Them Brits don't take kindly to shameless liars.

Changing His 'Life' to Suit British Law (Clinton has to tell the truth!)

Btw, have you noticed the sudden Chip Carter (Jimmah's boy) media blitz? I didn't even know that Carter had a son!

But then there's lots I don't know. Last night I learned Nelson Rockefeller was Ford's VP pick after Nixon stepped down. However, GHWBush was high on Ford's list and as 41 tells it, they were at home watching the news coverage waiting to see who Ford would pick when the phone rang. It was Ford, who picked up the phone in the last seconds before he made the announcement to tell 41 he was picking someone else and let him know how much he appreciated all GHWB had done for him.

Another interesting detail about 41. He said only once had he ever written a letter to a publication to complain about their nasty (my word) treatment of him. And it was to Pinchy Schultzberger! About that stupid scanner incident. GHWB was really angry about the story because he wasn't out of touch, it was brand new technology he was looking at at a show for new tech and the little weasel writer at the NYT's wasn't even there.

Kerry's dad married Rosemary Forbes. Her family was wealthy but there were lots of kids and there was not much money (relatively speaking) but they were society bluebloods. I think, can't quite remember, there was a rich aunt who helped out with the money and houses. Cauz Johnny and his sibs went to the right schools etc and travelled all over.

There's lots of good stuff in Kerry's family background and I hope it all comes out during this getting to know JFK campaign.

One thing of interest to voters is that Kerry's father died of prostate cancer...gee, we really need to see his medical records. He is not even one year post surgery for his cancer and we all now he looks not well.
