TOWN OF NEWBURGH, N.Y., July 31 -- John and Elizabeth Edwards celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary today, and they and this small upstate town will not soon forget it.

The John Kerry campaign pulled its 10-bus caravan up to Wendy's restaurant to accommodate the vice presidential couple, who had their first date at the fast-food restaurant and always dine there on their anniversary . This is not one they will soon forget because the celebration included John and Teresa Heinz Kerry, Tom Brokaw, George Stephanopoulos, and 100 members of the media.

"So you understand, this is our anniversary. We always celebrate our anniversary at Wendy's," Elizabeth Edwards told the clerk as she ordered her Classic Combo Single.

Ditto for her mate -- but he went with cheese. And John Kerry went for the Chili and chocolate frosty. The power couples certainly caused a stir -- but it was Ben Affleck who moved with a throng. A Democrat and friend of Kerry's, the movie actor said he joined the trip to learn about the political process and not always be around just for the glamorous work.

Look at the picture of his hands.

Look at his wedding ring. Thats cheaper than mine and I bought it a Walmart

[boothead]

The Edwards with $40-80 million in assets always celebrate their anniversary with dinner at Wendys? That's BS, I'm sure.

This is where he spilled the coffee in his lap.

>>Soft plush hands on a man (lazy) grosses me out.

>>Ahh, you've never known the love of a baker. Too bad for you.

Not to mention a good (blackjack) dealer.

Damn, didn't anyone teach him to trim his nails?

No. He no doubt has a manicurist for that mundane task.

[Miss Marple]

I was just going to post your comment about Dave Thomas. He was a wonderful man, and I bet the Kerry campaign didn't even know Wendy's pro-life position. HAHAHAHA!!

[Miss Marple]

Mrs. Edwards hasn't seen a size 16 in ten years, let alone a size 10!!

[hattend]

Why does it look like the Marine is being scolded and why isn't Kerry lying unconscious in a pool of his own blood after both Marines have kicked his ass?

[.38sw]

I'm thinking size 20 or so. 10? Uh uh.

[Chieftain]

I have a funny power point on Edwards family and Wendy's. FReep mail me for your copy.

[gimme1ibertee]

"(where are those f***ing balloons?)"

Has my vote for tag line of the CENTURY.

"The place sold last year and the new owner keep the same seating arrangment and tore off the plaques!."

What state and city? I'll patronize that cafe, and thank the owner for being a patriot.

... This time, dozens of peering reporters and photographers may have ruined the romance. But at least Kerry paid the bill.

Edwards and his wife had hearty meals (as in super-sized) of burgers and fries and shared a chocolate Frosty. Teresa Heinz Kerry pointed at a picture of chili on the menu and asked the cashier what it was before ordering a bowl. Her husband had the same, along with a Frosty. ...

This soldier looks like he's got a 'tude about Kerry. You know, the war hero.

This picture PISSES ME OFF BIGTIME! THE F***ING TRAITOR IS STICKING HIS FINGER IN THE CHEST OF MARINE SERGEANT AND TALKIN' TRASH TO HIM!

If I was there, I swear to God I would have attacked that bastard! Dammit to hell, 33 years later and my damn blood is boiling all over again!

For your information, these two fine patriots in uniform in the photo, are not soldiers, they are Marines! (with a capital M)

I was always taught the salute aligns the fingertips and the eyebrow. His salute is halfway up his forehead.

But basically, I just object to him saluting and 'reporting for duty'. He's spent 30+ years cr@pping on the military and now wants to run as GI John!

There are democrats who served heroically. John isn't one of them. And he'll never be one of us.

MammaT doesn't look very darn happy, does she?

This thread has been the funniest one I have read lately!!

Geez ... what happened to that link. Here's another:

Just to clarify: I am not faulting her for her weight problem (two children after age 50 would cause most of us to gain weight). What I AM faulting her for is this bold-faced lie. She hasn't been in a size 10 in quite a few years. If she is saving her size 10 clothes, I will bet they have those big Sue Ellen Ewing shoulder pads.

I will be brutally honest: when I had to get a dress for my daughter's wedding in February, I was horrified to find that I needed a size 18. I joined Weightwatchers, and am now down to a size 14.

I haven't seen a size 10 since 1977. If I made a statement like that to anyone who knows me, they would laugh in my face.

This was a lie, pure and simple.

"Someone has to find out if Wendy's serves DEL MONTE ketchup!"

You don't know - haven't you eaten there/ They serve the good stuff - Heinz Ketchup - from Pittsburgh!!!!

[Geezerette]

I wonder what his toenails look like?

I can only imagine ... eeewww.
