The Boston Fog Rolls Over Kerry's Chevy Suburban... And His Landrover
George W. Bush ^ | April 29, 2004

Posted on 04/30/2004 2:30:00 PM PDT by RWR8189

The Boston Fog Report
An ongoing examination of John Kerry’s “nuances and shades of gray in both foreign and domestic policy.” (Editorial, “A Primary Endorsement,” The New York Times, 2/26/04)

for·a·gainst adverb.

1. To be both for and against something at the same time: e.g. “I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.” (Glen Johnson, “Kerry Blasts Bush On Protecting Troops,” The Boston Globe, 3/17/04)

"When John Kerry was in Michigan, he said he owned a 'big' Suburban. When he was at an Earth Day rally, he said he didn't own any SUVs. Yesterday, he reverted back to SUV ownership. One question for John Kerry: How many times can a flip-flop flip before a flip-flop becomes a flop?"
-Steve Schmidt, Bush-Cheney '04 Spokesman

THE BOSTON FOG ROLLS OVER KERRY'S CHEVY SUBURBAN... AND HIS LANDROVER:

Kerry in Michigan:

Kerry Said He Owns The "Big" Suburban, And His Wife Owns A Landrover. Kerry: "I own a Dodge 600 that I’ve had for about 20 years. I own a Chrysler 300M. We have a Chrysler van, a minivan, a Chrysler PT Cruiser, I guess Chrysler’s making out here; a Suburban a Chevy big Suburban, and she has a Landrover Defender." Paula Tutman: "Now when he referred to she, he of course is talking about his wife. John Kerry made it a point to say all of the cars he personally owns and has purchased are American." (Local First News At 6 PM, WDIV-TV (NBC) Detroit, 4/28/04)

Kerry at Environmental Rally:

Last Week, Kerry Claimed "I Don't Own An SUV." "During a conference call Thursday with reporters to discuss his upcoming jobs tour through West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, the Democratic presidential candidate was asked whether he owned a Chevrolet Suburban. 'I don't own an SUV,' said Kerry, who supports increasing existing fuel economy standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015 in order to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil supplies." ("Kerry Says His 'Family' Owns SUV, Not He," Associated Press, 4/22/04)

Kerry at Environmental Rally:

Then Kerry Admitted To An SUV But Said It Belonged To "The Family." Kerry thought for a second when asked whether his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, had a Suburban at their Ketchum, Idaho, home. Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M. He said his wife owns the Chevrolet SUV. 'The family has it. I don't have it,' he said." ("Kerry Says His 'Family' Owns SUV, Not He," Associated Press, 4/22/04)

Kerry in Michigan:

In February During A Visit To Michigan Kerry Bragged Of Owning Several SUVs, Including Chevy Suburban. "Q. What kind of vehicles does your family drive? A. We have some SUVs. We have a Jeep. We have a couple of Chrysler minivans. We have a PT Cruiser up in Boston. I have an old Dodge 600 that I keep in the Senate. … We also have a Chevy, a big Suburban." ("Kerry: 'I Can Beat George Bush,'" The Detroit News, 2/5/04)

THE KERRY CAR FACTS:

He Owned A "Big" Suburban Before He Didn't Before He Did:

2004 Chevy Suburban Gets 16 MPG. (Fuel Economy Website, www.fueleconomy.gov, Accessed 3/10/04)

"John Kerry Made It A Point To Say All Of The Cars He Personally Owns And Has Purchased Are American." (Local First News At 6 PM, WDIV-TV (NBC) Detroit, 4/28/04)

Chrysler 300M Made In Canada. “Chrysler 300M and 300M Special are manufactured at DaimlerChrysler’s Brampton, Ontario, assembly plant.” (The Scoop At Chrysler Group Website, scoop.daimlerchrysler.com/product_300M.shtml, Accessed 4/29/04)

Kerry Is Even Confusing The Googling Monkeys:

"And we would suggest that if John Kerry really wants to run against George Bush on the Patty Loveless notion of a 'trouble with truth,' he should probably stop saying he hasn't run negative ads against George Bush and get straight what is in the Kerry-Heinz motorpool." (The Note, 4/29/04)

Liberals disown SUVs in the same way they disown the unborn. They simply pretend they don't exist.

THE KERRY BUDGET FACTS

Along with his drinking buddy Kennedy, he engineered "The Big Dig" for a $2 Billion piece of pork for Boston, Ma. Of course there is a slight budget underestimate of $15 Billion based on the "over run".

How will the man ever manage the US Budget - Bush's problematical forecast will look like chicken feed once (IF) Kerry gets to sign off for his political buddies.

I have an old Dodge 600 that I keep in the Senate. …

But his butler-buddy said in the puff article in the NY Times a day or so ago that he got the Dodge when Kerry bought a 2002 Chrysler. So butler-buddy has the car Kerry does/doesn't have and Kerry has a Chrysler he forgot he does have.

This one is simple. He owns the butler-buddy so he owns the butler-buddies' car. Sorta like what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine.

Even understanding the unflattering nature of that photo of Teddy, ( or he who leaves his friends to drown and all that ), the evil that oozes thru that photo is palpable.

Here's the facts: the Massachusetts tax/tag/title board really gets a workout!

Kerry's wife bought an SUV.

Kerry was going to Michigan, so he bought his wife's SUV to say that he owned it.

Kerry then sold his SUV back to his wife before going to an environmental rally. Now he didn't own any SUV; his wife did.

Kerry, again going to Michigan, bought his wife's SUV--the same one he sold to his wife, bought from his wife, and sold back to his wife. Now he can say, "I own an SUV."

It's as simple as that, folks.

"The family owns it. I don't have it."

Dear God: save us from 4 years of "it depends on what the definition of is is."
