KERRY CALLED SECRET SERVICE AGENT 'SON OF A B*TCH' AFTER SLOPE SPILL

Dem presidential candidate John Kerry called his secret service agent a "son of a bitch" after the agent inadvertently moved into his path during a ski mishap in Idaho, sending Kerry falling into the snow.

When asked a moment later about the incident by a reporter on the ski run, Kerry said sharply, "I don't fall down," the "son of a b*itch knocked me over."

The Secret Service agent in question has complained about Kerry's treatment, top sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

Last month, Kerry began receiving Secret Service protection.

"Obviously, the complications and burden of being monitored 24-hours a day is not just an a simple inconvenience," a government source explained Friday. "But Senator Kerry should understand agents are working for his safety and well-being."

On Friday, Kerry, his snowboard strapped to his back, hiked past 9,000 feet on Durrance Peak, then snowboarded down the mountain, taking repeated tumbles. Reporters counted six falls, although Kerry was out of sight for part of the descent.

Dem presidential candidate John Kerry called his secret service agent a "son of a bitch" after the agent inadvertently moved into his path during a ski mishap in Idaho, sending Kerry falling into the snow.

Let's see ... the agent moved into Kerry's path - which meant that Kerry was UPHILL from the agent - and it's the responsibility of the uphill party to avoid collisions - and especially when the downhill party's professional responsibility is to be looking elsewhere for potential threats and not at the dweeb behind him on the snowboard.

You can bet there were no skiers teen or otherwise within spiting distance of Kerry.... there is no excuse for his lashing out... the man is an abuser...

I totally agree; watch how he hurts his wife when they make public appearances, forcing her arms up, grabbing her hand so tightly she winces, forcing her face up to kiss him, there is an abuse dynamic there that is just frightening to watch. Then this "blame everybody but myself" trait is descriptive of a classic abuser. Even if I were a Democrat female, I could NEVER EVER vote for this man. He will turn off independents in huge percentages. Only hardcore leftists who are willing to overlook everything in the name of ABB will ignore this behavior.

Ok, let's think about this. If someone got in your path snowboarding wouldn't a good portion of us call them what Kerry allegedly called the SSA?

First of all, from this story it seems that Kerry was the uphill party, and any ski area would tell you that it's the uphill party's responsibility to avoid the collision. And second, the Secret Service agent is not going to be looking at Kerry - he's going to be scanning the surroundings for any potential threat - and Kerry should have been smart enough to give the guy plenty of room instead of swooping about like some pimply-faced brat.

The more I read about this incident, the more telling about Kerry's character (or lack thereof) it gets.

"...there is an abuse dynamic there that is just frightening to watch.Even if I were a Democrat female, I could NEVER EVER vote for this man. "

Maybe we can start a ground swell movement ...call it ...Voters who Recognize and Despise Abusers ...

"That's right. He is speaking ill of this Agent's mother! Shame on Kerry. I always knew he was anti-mother anyway."

Most Mothers can take personal attacks in stride ..but Kerry might look into mother's reactions following attacks / even perceived attacks upon their children... Mother Bears ... are mild foes by comparrison

You are exactly right. If you want to see the true quality of a person, watch how they treat a servant.

As a UPS driver, I once dumped over a cartload of packages while turning into an elevator that Victoria Principal was waiting for. As the elevator opened, she held the door from closing until I had picked up the boxes and was able to go up with her. Very few people in the Hollywood crowd would have shown that level of kindness. Kerry's response to an accident shows you what kind of a man he is...undeserving of a leader.

I just saw JF'nK on the slope in a segment on msnbc a little while ago.

He nearly fell off that snowboard, caught himself just in time, it was close to my eyes.

There wasn't an "SOB" anywhere near enough for him to blame it on if he had tumbled that time, and the cameras were running.

Oops. Wonder who he would have blamed then.

[texasbluebell]

The way his hair never moves in any of these "action" shots just creeps me out.

I was reading a funny account a few weeks ago about him and his hair.

Apparently he forgot his titanium comb when he was on one of his campaign stops, and a special trip had to be made to retrieve it.

Wasn't there also a story from a former girlfriend who said he spent hours in front of the mirror combing his hair?

Kucinich? How can a man who makes a Congressman's salary with all the perks be worth only $32,000? Any money from his "budget" he doesn't use, he gets to keep. For instance, if he is alloted $100,000 for a chief of staff but only pays $80,000, he gets to pocket the other $20,000.

*** Ok, let's think about this. If someone got in your path snowboarding wouldn't a good portion of us call them what Kerry allegedly called the SSA? ***

Probably ... but we'd call HIM the name, at the time of the collision, not tell the amassed reporters afterwards. Nor would most of us say we don't fall. This was simple fault finding, having to find a scapegoat (whose job is to take a bullet for HIM if it came to it).

The reason this minor event became news was its exposing character flaws in the man who would be POTUS. We chortled when MamaDean said young Howard "didn't treat the servants like servants" but it seems Mr. Kerry does. He needed his whipping boy.

Great tag-line LOL!

Actually, I'm voting FOR John Kerry....Before I vote AGAINST him

Give him a Purple Heart...

I'll start working on an acronym that fits. So far all I've got is: "Hate Abusers: Resist Voting for Egotistical Yahoos!" It has the added benefit of spelling "HARVEY", the name of the invisible rabbit, like JohnF'nKerry's invisible friends.

It is obvious that Kerry will need a new group to protect him from these unprovoked attacks by the vast right wing Secret Service snowboarding attack machine. So maybe his buddy Soros can start a new one... moveover.org?

All Kerry's money sure can't buy him any Class. . .

Mousse. And LOTS of hairspray.
