Maybe Kerry should be made to prove that he makes over $200,000. And he's not allowed to include allowances from Tereza.
The ironic thing is that the leech probably doesn't make more than 200G's himself.
Funny how Terraaayyyyzzaaaaa owns the SUV's but her money is his money too.
Smarmy pr!ck.
I looked it up, and the truth is, according to the 2000 census,
less than 2 1/2 % of households have an income >$200K.
So out of a random 100 people, statistically speaking,
Kerry is correct.
Good God.
Did I just defend him?
I must be drunk.
This is a good point. No one else in the audience is permitted to make $200K or more, you see. It isn't done. It just is not done. Not done. Tisn't.
That's the first thing that came to my mind and I said so at the time to my wife. Glad to see this posted and so many others caught it!!!
I said the same thing. The great thing about our country is you cant tell what people make by looking at them. Some guy who looks like a bum may be a millionare. Just because he doesnt windsurf doesnt mean he does not have wealth, or the capacity to be wealthy.
Why are all the polls showing a huge Kerry victory 5 minutes after it was over? When did they start these polls and did they just open it with Kerry already ahead by 30,000 votes or what. Did they watch the same thing I just did? From the Presidents campaign emails:
Immediately after the debate, visit online polls, chat rooms, and discussion boards and make your voice heard. The major news networks will all have internet polls after the debate. Make sure you vote in polls on:
MSNBC.com
FoxNews.com
ABCNews.com
CNN.com
and even CBS.

I guess he never read "The Millionaire Next Door". There are thousands of self made millionaires that live in fly-over country. Shows just how out of touch he is.
Senator Leona Helmsley does not believe the hayseeds in flyover country could possibly make more than minimum wage.
He was probably surprised to see the audience actually wore shoes.
I only wished that the President would have scolded him on his bad manners for the insult.
I haven't read through this thread yet, so maybe someone else already mentioned this...
but I remember Algore making a similar statement in the last townhall debate w/Bush.
IIRC, he actually said something to the effect that he doubted that anyone else in the room made over $200,000, or something like that.
The reason it stands out to me was that it really stood out as condescending and arrogant, EXACTLY like Kerry's statement did tonight.
Or like when Edwards looked into the camera and told us that he KNEW we could see the light of America flickering out.
Amen.....W shoulda drubbed hom over that comment.
I just saw Andrea Mitchell with a long sad face declaring W the winner.
All I need to know.
Fred, Kristol, and Mort sounded like they had been smoking strong dope.
Mother told me you can marry more money in 20 minutes than you can make in a lifetime.
Oh, good, I wasn't the only one who thought this, so surely the people in the audience were offended, too. I mean, if he was going by their clothes, one could easily assume that Tereza Heinz kerry was "middle America," too, because her suit looked like she had been sleeping in it since the last debate! Money certainly can't buy class!
I bet Kerry seldom really thinks about money. With that it is "I got enough Teresa sees to that,"'"

Michelle Malkin mentions it in her blog.
"Lovey, you simply have no idea what the cat dragged in to the second debate. Plebians to the left of me, trash to the right of me, all so obviously earning less than 200,000 dollars a year. Oh the humanity, lovey! Oh the humanity!"
