July 25, 2004 -- BOSTON
So far, John Kerry has been an onlooker at his own convention.
Every day last week, the already- dark mood of his hometown grew surlier, as the extent of the convention's massive disruptions of daily life became ever more apparent. But the man who would lead the Free World essentially went MIA.
He spent several days in serene splendor at the $10-million oceanfront mansion on Nantucket that his second wife inherited from her first husband. The senator windsurfed by day and hobnobbed with the Beautiful People by night, pedaling his $8,000 Serotta bicycle into the village for dinner at one or another of the island's fancy restaurants.
Meanwhile, in the sweltering city, the heavy lifting of actually averting total chaos was left to two local pols — Boston's Democratic Mayor Thomas Menino and GOP Gov. Mitt Romney.

He did a few months off the coast aboard USS Gridley(DLG-21, now CG-21). We didn't call them tours; we called them cruises.
He certainly wouldn't have done any shore-bom with Gridley's 3" guns but he probably received a CAR for being in a combat area. Referring to 2 tours plays up the 'war hero' image. Most of us veterans know how phony that is and more are learning every day.
That would the 800 million dollar 'rat white elephant called the Convention Center that has yet to sign a big booking.
"There are a lot of hard feelings over the RATS
convention, and that's putting it mildly."
Will it make any difference? No. Like the Black democrats who realize they are merely tools of their democrat Massah's, Boston's flunkies and scullery maids will nevertheless shuffle up to the voting booth and pull the kerry lever no matter what.
What does this say about the ship handling skills of the most famous Swift Boat commander in the war? Let's see, where are those FITREPs again?
Tomorrow is our 35th Anniversary and without thinking my husband had planned to take me into Boston overnight and out to the North End for dinner. Well that's not going to happen.
"A line of people starts at one end of the island and works its way across, through the brambles and marshes, pushing the sheep back across the island."
Sounds like a job for the servants at some French aristocrat's estate.
I just saw the DNC Chairman on FNC, He said "we are proud of Kerry's 2 tours of duty in Vietnam. WHAT??
Typical Dem typo....that's Hours, not Tours.
And of course now, from what I've been reading, Menino's time is tied up with trying to run a pizza shop owner out of business because he has the unmitigated gall to place a pro-Bush sign on the front of his shop.
Well, Tuhrayza did say if she had her choice of being an animal, she'd be a dog.
If the GOP was causing this much misery and was this out of touch, it would lead every media newscast and front page in the country.
Jacques Ketchup has never been one for heavy lifting. He ducked out of Vietnam after four months; he'd likely leave the White House, too, if there were any real work to do.
Oh this is hilarious! This coming from his own team! L0L
Doesn't he ever venture out onto a street.....?
How could they turn down the opportunity to have their convention in a place named after an enema.
It was kismet!
Love your rumored fundraising events. LOL
Would you be good enough to tell me what your tagline says in English?
Menino did not appreciate being hung out to dry by his ostensible ally. "If they ever name a street after Kerry," said one of the mayor's allies at City Hall, "it'll have to be one-way."
