Everything is "hearsay." There are exceptions to hearsay that make such statements admissable in court. For example, if Kerry were on trial for sexual harrassment his statement might be an admission against interest and therfore acdmissible. Just about everything in every newspaper is "hearsay" every day, but I've had democrat controlled reporters tell me they can't print a direct quote from a dem politician because "it's hearsay." No, it's "BS."

Court is one thing. The court of public opinion is something else.

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.
