Alexandra Kerry: Dad Gave Hamster CPR
NewsMax .com ^ | 7/30/04 | Carl Limbacher

Would-be first daughter Alexandra Kerry revealed Thursday night that her father's habit of saving men overboard didn't end with his Swift Boat rescue of fellow Vietnam veteran Jim Rassman.

In a bizarre recollection, Alexandra told the Democratic Convention crowd how the family waited dockside one summer day to embark on a trip, when the cage housing her sister's hamster "Licorice" tumbled into the drink. "My dad jumped in, grabbed an oar, fished the cage from the water, hunched over the soggy hamster and began to administer CPR," the Kerry daughter told the audience. "There are still to this day some reports of mouth-to-mouth, but I admit it's probably a trick of memory."

Actually, the textbook definition of CPR is mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, though what techniques may be appropriate for hamster rescue is anybody's guess.

Too bad Sen. Kerry didn't have his trusty 8mm camera along to reenact his hamster heroism for posterity.

Prancing around with no underwear in a see-though outfit

I hereby give you permission to go see the picture one more time, just for the purpose of noticing this time that she is, in fact, wearing panties.

I do, however, understand how you missed that the first time. :-)

These people are freaks. The only way this story could have been more bizarre would be if it had been a gerbil.

Click on link for a good new gerbil cartoon.

The Kerry daughter who makes movies, and recently got photographed in a see-through dress at Cannes or some other fil festival. The photo reveals her to be put together pretty nicely.

Or maybe it's the other Kerry daughter who is in medical school.
