John Kerry: Nice Piece Of Meat

You can prove you worked there..does the girl know he said it? Can you prove she worked there?

[skip2myloo]

I don't know if it endears him to his base or not.

I suspect this story was planted by his own campaign, somehow to demonstrate a relationship to ordinary human behavior, even if a little perverted.

[Revolting cat!]

Kerry for President

Ketchup in Every Pot!

[brewcrew]

Fine.

[HitmanLV]

This would only be hearsay if used to show proof of the fact that the young lady's rear end was, indeed, a nice peice of meat.

It is not hearsay at all if it is a person relating what they heard to demonstrate that the person in question (Kerry) did indeed say those words.

[plain talk]

Perhaps, hearsay, as you mention, but I submit a FReeper eye-witness report is much more likely to be truthful than anything Kerry is saying about himself.

[HitmanLV]

It is an eyewitness report, and not hearsay, as some on the list have suggested.

It is only hearsay if the person's account of the story is used as proof that the woman was indeed a nice piece of meat.

WWBFS (What Would Barney Frank Say?)

"Thats one heck of a polska on that young lad!"

[brewcrew]

I stated earlier that I have no doubts about the truth of this story. But without corroboration, that's all it can remain - a cute anecdote here on FR about a politician's piggishness.

[HitmanLV]

No problem.

[Williams]

last time I checked the rules in the court of public opinion were considerably looser than in a court of law. In any event,
to those who say what's the big deal. A senator should not ne ogling an under age girl and referring to her as a "piece of meat." Especially a left wing pro radical women's movement senator. I have no doubt Kerry is an opportunist and hypocrite
of the highest order.

[Mears]

Now you leave my Congressperson alone,he's a real sweetie.(sarcasm intended)

[torchthemummy]

"Candidate sees "attractive" hispanic girls butt and digs it. Comments on same to another dude. OK, where's the problem?"

He purposely said it loud enough so she could hear it - she didn't look back but made it a point to stay in the back until he left. At the same time, just in case she looked back, he had a plausible alternative subject as a back-up (a package of meat).

Again just a small insight but telling especially when he was part of a jury that apparently believes that lieing under oath about sexual conduct is no big thing while voting for every sexual harrassment law down the pike.

[lady lawyer]

All claims of verbal sexual harassment are based on "hearsay."

[torchthemummy]

"I suspect this story was planted by his own campaign, somehow to demonstrate a relationship to ordinary human behavior, even if a little perverted."

I am a loyal freeper and not a plant. This is not a story that would derail a campaign and I can't prove what was said without the two other principles concurring but I can prove that I worked there, my time card said I was there along with the other two employees.

[Argus]

Like most liberal legislation, sexual harassment law was only meant to apply to Republicans.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

This would only be news if he was a Republican. I bet more stuff like this will come out about him. We saw how Schwarzenegger was raked over the coals, then watch how allegations like this will be treated as "right wing conspiriacy mudslinging dirty pool".

[torchthemummy]

I think you nailed it right on the head.

[johnb838]

It's just real creepy. Real slimey. Real men don't do that -- make some little thing uncomfortable. If you want to do her, you don't do it by making sexually threatening statements in her vicinity. The butcher probably could have found himself liable for not pressing charges. He was put in a tough situation. Kerry's a jerk. I have no doubt this could have happened.

[AnalogReigns]

I'm confused. Is this your own story, or one you are passing along?

If it's yours than its not hearsay to you and those present, anyway.

Any news story one doesn't witness themselves is by definition hearsay.

Powerful politicians--particularly there on the religiously antinomian left, are notorious for their womanizing. Doesn't surprise me in the least.

Lest we get arrogant though, conservative Strom Thurman, as well as various other conservative politicians were not exactly angels when it came to sex. Even King David had his foibles.
