She was John Kerry's first love, but politics did not agree with her. So she fled the limelight. It's catching up to her
Julia Thorne has been trying to escape politics ever since rocks crashed through her window, barely missing her baby's crib, after her husband John Kerry ran for Congress in 1972.
They'd met years before, while Kerry was still at Yale, after he'd already heard all about her from his buddy David Thorne, Julia's twin.
She was wearing a bikini, riding around on the back of a car, when John Kerry saw the dashing 19-year-old for the first time, according to historian Doug Brinkley.
They'd been married a few years when Kerry ran for office, and Thorne threw herself into getting him elected. "She was a real live wire, a very funny person, outrageous sometimes. She was a very positive force in the campaign," says Dan Payne, a former Kerry aide. But Kerry took a lot of heat for being antiwar, and lost. The nastiness of the race soured Thorne.
(Sniffle) She was a "victim" (sob).
I would feel I ws a victim married to that slob (kerry).
Must have been that climate of hate right wing talk radio created back in the 70's (sarcasm).
"There were times at dinner parties when John would be very pompous, unable to control his impulse to make a speech," one acquaintance told the writer. "It was all slightly laughable, and Julia was one of those who laughed. She'd say things like, 'What the f--k did you just say?'"

Just like today. By the way, has there ever been a `Rat who wasn`t pompous? Between CLintoon, Gore and Kerry, for Dims to call Bush pompous is like Michael Moore calling Ally McBeal overweight.
I wonder when the Chicago Tribune will get around to asking the court to release the record of the divorce proceedings, as they did Jack Ryan's.
Heheh........you nailed it. LOL.
So she "cheneyed" him?
Yup, if it wasn't for that hateful Rush Limbaugh the marriage would have thrived.
Are you sure it was "suffocating" or "so f**king " (fill in the blank)?
Could be....could be that, too. LOL.
I've never been divorced, so I don't know: Is it a common occurrence to have one's divorce records sealed? What would be the motivation behind that?
Maybe he just sat on the edge of the bed and told her how good sex was going to be once those evil and repressive Rebublicans and their big business lackeys were voted out of office.
i also make the observation that john forbes kerry is increasingly looking like the pompadoured "boy toy" of tereza heinz kerry....she buys him all those toys, whatever he wants, like an airplane to jet around the country, boat for good photo-ops, big houses for fabulous vacations.
it's embarrassing, really.
frauds of the 21st century...michael moore of the limo crowd and john forbes kerry of the boy toy generation.
How can a Dim enjoy hetero sex with a life partner unless the Pubbies are safely out of govt and in their VIP oil company offices?
I believe most states seal divorce records. But there's hope hinging on the fact that the court unsealed Jack Ryan's embarrassing records.
Of course, there is an outside chance that JFK took his wife to sex clubs and engaged in filthy acts and group sex dressed in black leather while audiences watched.
LOL, I've been calling him the Pompous Pompadour for quite a while!
____"dull"__
I believe he showed his ring and chanted ancient egyptian spells...
