Hmm, can't hotlink to the images for some reason, so if you want to see the houses you'll have to go to snopes.

Anyway, Snopes does his normal attempted cover for Kerry, but there isn't much he can do...

Snopes does a great job. They printed the truth about the bin Laden family flights. Michael Moore's lies faced the truth at Snopes.

I inspected a $1.2 million 6000 SF mansion yesterday. Undoubtably in the top 1/20 of 1% in value for my area, something most folks never get a chance to view.

I can't imagine the priviledge involved in owning multiple $4-5 million dollar estates (and having the means to own them outright). Its simply something that detaches one from the reality of everyday life and the struggles of common people.....struggles in terms of trying to figure out how to pay for college educations and retirement, let alone the huge percentage who struggle just to keep their families afloat in their $100,000 homes.

John Kerry is deeply troubled that people don't view him as a "regular guy."

The common folk! Under a Kerry administration everyone will be entitled to free Botox shots. People under the age of 18 are welcome without parents consent.

Has any news media type tracked this guy's Viet Nam record re 4 months in the zone with 3 Purple Hearts and one Siver Star?

Cripes they spent enough time chasing down Dubya's Air Guard career!

Snopes does not disappoint! Whenever there is a rumor circulating about some democrat, they are quick to put the label of Urband Legend on it. In this case they could not do that. What they could do, and what they did do, was to ignore the fact that it was John Heinz, United States Senator (R-Pa) who had inherited the Heinz fortune that was passed on to Teresa at his death. She, being bi-partisan, would no doubt have supported a presidential bid by her former husband had that occasion presented itself.

On the other hand, Kerry, ever the opportunist, was willing to accept the republican inheritance to further his political ambitions. I hope he gets exactly what he deserves.

Aren't these homes owned by Tah-Ray-Sah ..??

[Zeppo]

A five-story, twelve-room brownstone townhouse (with six fireplaces, a rooftop deck, and an elevator) in Boston's Beacon Hill. This home is John Kerry's main residence and was assessed at a value of $6.6 million in 2003

Snopes could have done a better job of reporting the value - didn't Kerry mortgage half of that property for $6 million, meaning that it is supposedly worth $12 million? Why is Snopes lowballing the value?

A ski/vacation home located near the banks of the Big Wood River in Ketchum, Idaho, fashioned from a reassembled barn originally built in England in 1485 and brought to Idaho by Teresa Heinz Kerry's late husband. It was purchased for $4.9 million in 1988.

Again, Snopes is lowballing the value. The purchase price in 1988 is certainly much much lower than its current value.

Hey, where's the class envy that is so dominate among the democrats regarding Republicans when it comes to their guy?
