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.

LOL! I didn't say that. mmyers did.
My reply was, "Because they are DimocRATS. "
Any ex-GI who paid attention-knows darn well, that you do not salute in civilian clothes. We make exception for the Commander-in-Chief.
That salute was an insult to every member of the Uniformed Services.
All fingernails aside, that picture is way too cheesy...it looks far too desperate!
"and both can afford to zap it off if they wanted to."
They can also afford to pig out if they want-looks like they have made their choice.
Well, as we all know, John Kerry is quite adept at re-creating events.
Does he have something in his ear?
Is that soldier standing at attention?
"Someday you'll work for me boy, and you will do exactly what I say, GOT THAT??"
Is it me or does that guy look petrified and not quite sure what to say??
Sorry. Just call me half retarded.
'Must have been the chili!"
Isn't Edwards just a romantic old cuss?
Yeah, real subtle.
I heard Mrs. Ed celebrated her birthday at Wendy's without John.
I don't know for sure if they did. Something about them and Wendy's was posted before. I remember reading it. Honestly it doesn't bother me at all about them celebrating there. Wherever they want to celebrate is fine with me. But only trial lawyers would promote that fact multiple times and stage it in front of cameras.
Oooh! Good find! Maybe...but what could it be? Perhaps someone out beyond the drive-thru telling him what to say?
I agree.
