BOSTON -- It's not often one gets a quiet afternoon away from the office to run errands. When you're campaigning for president of the United States, those moments can be even more fleeting.

John Kerry was home in Boston Friday for what was billed as a day off. But a routine trip out on a snowy afternoon by the presumed Democratic nominee quickly turned into a big-time production.

The Massachusetts senator and his daughter Vanessa, 27, were escorted from their red brick townhouse in Beacon Hill to a nearby Borders bookstore by a seven-car motorcade -- two police cars, three SUVs loaded with Secret Service agents and two minivans stuffed with reporters.

"So much for a mundane day with Dad," said the candidate's daughter.

As he edges closer to becoming the party's official nominee, Kerry's privacy has rapidly receded. The national media are now treating the Massachusetts senator with nearly the same scrutiny that they apply to the president.

Next week, members of his press corps are planning to accompany him on a five-day vacation with his wife to an undetermined locale.

"So much for a mundane day with Dad," said the candidate's daughter.

We all hope that Flipper will have plenty of spare time next year, you snot-nosed liberal twit.

"A reporter offered Kerry a copy of Arrogance: Rescuing America from the Media Elite.

"I don't want to read it," the senator said with a laugh."

LOL, Fox news reporter, no doubt

Kerry would be nowhere without his supporters.

why in the world would kerry need a jock strap?

[billorites]

I wouldn't think of shopping for a jock strap without my daughter.

[Humidston]

Jockstrap? What's he going to use it for?

More like Jacques Itch...

The most exercise he's ever going to get is lifting his fork.

What's with the jockstrap thing in front of his daughter. At least Clinton bought bikinis alone when he was in Europe on vacation.

His nuts have to be getting really sore from all the bouncing around on the issues that Flipper's been doing lately.

[Asclepius]

... when he bought a jock strap, among other items ...

Doubtless he had to ask someone how to wear it. Or maybe he thought he was buying a slingshot.

Yahbut, they were for Web's daughter.

Same thing only different.

Kerry's new jock features the French tri-color.

Jock strap ??? What the hell does he need a Jock strap for?
I thought that Taarreeezzzaaa had a tight grip on the equipment. It's in the prenup.

[syriacus]

I thought he might be buying a girdle.

Oh, Mr. Kerry, there's
a widening of your derriere.
The pants you tug on
Are way too snug on
A body increasingly scarier.

[Tacis]

The jock strap isn't for Kerry, silly! It is for his wife. She's got the balls in the family as well as most of the money. And, she only gives what she thinks Kerry needs of both.

Why are we supposed to trust a man with our future wealth when his own wife won't trust him with hers? Check out the prenuptual agreement. If only we could protect our wealth in the for against John as well as she has!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Ouch !

[rrrod]

of course you are right...what was i thinking?
