A Wonketeer writes to note that bike upon which John Kerry perched for pix yesterday, is well, really expensive.
We're shocked. You mean a guy with five homes doesn't ride a Schwinn?
Still, we had no idea how expensive it was.
He is shown riding a Serotta, a small, high quality, custom bike builder whose frames start at $1495.00 for the frame ONLY and top out at a whopping $4,995.00 for the frame ONLY.
Add $1,000.00 for tires, gears, pedals, fancy shoes, Boston College shirt etc.
Am I being petty? Sure, but come on, a 'man of the people' dropping $3,000.00 on a bicycle?
Think of all the Botox one could buy.

The photo opps of Kerry snow boarding, bicycling, etc. make me wonder why their campaign is staging them. Trying to make Lurch look vigorous? Remember the press feed all the JFK playing sports and skipped the various ailements, back problems, and women. Could Kerry really be following in his hero's , uh, footsteps too closely?

From Kerry's homepage:
"...I’m going to stand up for students and middle class families and all those who need relief at the pump."
JF'n is a real "man of the people". (sic)

My city passed an ordinance mandating helmets for kids under 12 years.

Kerry has prostate cancer, presumably in remission. The Jim Thorpe thing is meant to convey a healthy body but there's not much they can do about his sick mind.

Although his form looks like crap, he does have good taste. I've had a couple Serotta's over the years and they're excellent bikes.

He's even more French-looking on that bicycle, if that's even possible.
To: international american
Not only that but he called the secret service agent a SOB for getting in his way, because you know I NEVER FALL!!!!
What a dork.
