Responding to criticism that he had a laundry list of demands when he stayed in luxury hotels on the campaign trail, Sen. John Kerry said yesterday that he recently took a trip where he slept every night in his truck - accompanied only by his motorcycle, a friend and his butler, "Marvin."
Asked about the trip by radio host Don Imus, Kerry explained: "Marvin and Teddy [and myself] . . . We had the best damned time, I'll tell you."
"It was wonderful," the top Democrat declared. "We didn't stay anywhere. We actually drove all night. We slept in the truck. We cruised through, you know, a couple of little pit stops early in the morning. It couldn't have been nicer."
Kerry insisted that he and his butler were really roughing it, painting a picture right out of the hippie rebel movie, "Easy Rider."
"We didn't have any pillows. I'll tell ya, man. It was really funny cause I blew into some little gas station around midnight or two in the morning, whenever it was, and some guy would do a double take and look at ya. They just couldn't figure out what I was doing there at that hour of the morning.
"I couldn't figure it out [either]," the born-to-be-wild senator added.
Kerry didn't explain who "Teddy" was - or why, if he wanted to rough it, he brought his manservant, Marvin Nicholson, along for the ride.
In 2004, Mr. Nicholson detailed some of his responsibilities to the New York Times, which began its report by noting: "Mr. Kerry is comfortable being catered to."
"When he wants that peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I'm ready," Marvin explained.
Among the items Nicholson carries at all times for the rough and ready Democrat: Swedish hand cream, Scope mouthwash, Handiwipes, two packs of Band-Aids, Tylenol, Advil, Advil Liquid Gels, Advil Sinus pills, a sewing kit, a can of diet milkshake [Kerry prefers strawberry], a tube of Blistex and a myriad of other accouterments.
The Times noted that Kerry, husband of billionairess Teresa Heinz, pays his trusty manservant a mere $45,000 annually.

"Me and Bobby McGee" was written by actor and singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson. The song was based on his travels with his "friend" Bobby Neuwirth. Kristofferson gave the song to Janis Joplin to record in 1970, and was featured on her posthumous Pearl CD/album released in 1971.
I'm thinking of this thread mixed with the John Edwards situation as I read the following lyrics:
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And Is feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobbys hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing dont mean nothing honey if it aint free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done,
Hey Bobby, baby, kept me from the cold.
One day up near Salinas, lord, I let him slip away,
Hes looking for that home and I hope he finds it,
But Id trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobbys body next to mine.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing, thats all that Bobby left me, yeah,
But feeling good was easy, lord, when he sang the blues,
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee.
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la.
La la la, la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la, hey now Bobby now Bobby McGee yeah.
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah.
Lord, Im calling my lover, calling my man,
I said Im calling my lover just the best I can,
Cmon, where is Bobby now, where is Bobby McGee, yeah,
Lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, lord!
Yeah! whew!
Lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee.

John Kerry now thinks he's Chris Farley's SNL character Matt Foley.
Do you want to end like me, married to a freakin' crazy woman. losing a national election, skipping Senate hearings and votes, living in a van down by the river with only one butler? DO YOU SON?
