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, I'm only going to say this one more time. I want 22 packets of Heinz fancy ketchup. Not 13, not 19 -- 22. Now can you explain why the *&#% I don't have 22 packets in front of me?"
I think it's sweet that they go slumming for their anniversary...
"See? Isn't it cool? I learned this as a trial lawyer. I put a false bottom in a Wendy's cup and then I hide the dead mouse inside. When no one's looking, I pull that little string and the mouse drops out onto Elizabeth's plate. She screams bloody murder and I sue the poor slobs for everything they're worth!" |
The Brother From Another Planet?
Well, I suppose that she has no line in the sand, then. Unless it is sKerry using her as an affectionate photo-op.
Sad to say, I once worked at Wendy's, and it really was authentic Heinz ketchup in the in-store pump dispenser. For what it's worth, I don't blame the Heinz company for that lunatic witch Teresa - the company certainly didn't ask to have her affiliated with it, and she's only a shareholder, not a director.
Semper Fi!
Semper Fi!
My guess is that it's as studied and contrived as everything else about this doofus. He wants everyone to notice his right-hand nails are longer. Oh, he must be a really, really good guitarist! He is so talented - guitar, windsurfing, killing gooks - he does it all!!
Yes!! They weren't looking too happy in the picture.
(Affleck said,) "So far I've been asleep, so I haven't formed any concrete opinions yet. I'm going to wait for the talking points."
He doesn't have any personal opinions until the talking points come out? Sad, sad, sad.
(Heinz Kerry said,) "Barack Obama will be president one day," she said. "I know it in my gut."
I seriously doubt she has said this about her own husband.
If anyone learns what happened in this picture, PLEASE ping me!
That is HORRIBLE!!!!
Since 1969, I believe.
I love these guys.
OMG, his fingernails are long. ICK
Yep!
I imagine that Marine would like to shove that finger where the sun don't shine!
WHAT A DIRTY RAT COMMIE B***ARD!
Semper Fi!
Weird to the folks who are not musicians, I know. But whenever you see long fingernails on the right hand, and short cropped fingernails on the left, odds are is that the person is a guitar player.
Mrs Edwards *looks* like she SNACKS at Wendy's 3x-4x a day: mega calories and fat! Beast!!
Because they are???
I cannot imagine the gall on this guy after the problems he had explaining his ribbon/medal discrepancy, would engage in a discussion on the subject, with a REAL hero, in front of cameras...
