Hundreds of well- heeled guests found themselves traipsing through mud to get to John Kerry's $1,000-a-head fund-raiser at the home of venture capitalist Alan Patricof Saturday night, after the event was turned into a political Woodstock by bucketing rain.
Former model Christie Brinkley was overheard joking that the mud was a result of Republican campaign tactics.
Meanwhile, first to collar the delayed presidential hopeful when he finally showed up was hip-hop mogul turned politico Russell Simmons, who pulled Kerry aside for a stern tete-à-tete on how better to relate to the voters. Outside, Jimmy Buffett performed for the waiting crowd, which was awash in tequila.
But the buzz was almost amid by Teresa Heinz Kerry's long-winded introduction, which finaly ended soon after one heckler told her to sit down.
Later, the Kerrys headed to the East Hampton home of "Sex and the City" creator Darren Star, who co-hosted a $25,000-per-person dinner with furniture designer Mitchell Gold. It was attended by 250 guests including Sen. Chuck Schumer, actor Peter Boyle, Infinity Radio chief John Sykes and marketing exec Robert Zimmerman.
Kerry thanked Star, telling the crowd that in this economy, "Sex and the City's" fictional character of Carrie Bradshaw wouldn't even be able to afford a $15 pair of shoes.

The Hamptons may be Democrat country but John Kerry didn't make himself popular with all the locals this weekend. Well-to-do residents out for early morning bike rides and walks on Lily Pond Lane yesterday were incensed by the heavy-handed appearance of Secret Service, State Police, Suffolk Country police and East Hampton Village police, who all descended on the quiet street to clear the way for Kerry, who was heading for breakfast with Steven Spielberg on Georgica Pond.

Good work!
But he's a man of the people! He earned every dime he received from both marriages! ;)
Was Teh-RAY-zuh clicking small metal balls around in her hand while blabbering away about the key to the freezer lock where the strawberry ice cream was stored?
When Kerry loses in November, I predict that Teh-RAY-Zuh will dump him and then take up with Ron Jeremy.
Heheh......."The Hamptons Mutiny" was underway......LOL.
Didn't Christie Brinkley dump Billy Joel to marry some other guy who she thought was fabulously RICH. But the joke was on her. Soon after the wedding it turned out the guy she thought was rich didn't have much money at all so she had to dump him. I wonder if that not-so-rich guy was able to soak Christie Brinkley for a few bucks?
she left Billy to marry the guy who was in the airplane accident with her... (something tells me their marriage was already over)... anyway, the guy was a loser... so she left him, but first she had a baby with him... she then went on w/in a very short amount of time to marry another guy, w/whom she had a baby... i remember reading somewhere that when she was going to marry the guy from the plane crash, she had her young daughter (Billy Joel's daughter) make their wedding invitation... to me that was tacky... then they got married on snow skis...
Russell Simmons support frightens me. The hip hop community is huge and he has a lot of influence.
But do they vote?
I heard they were giving tickets to kids after registering. These are the people that follow orders. I don't know, but the fact we don't hear anything about it frightens me a tad.
Good point.....the Pubbies should not dismiss this lightly.
Some of Teresa's shoes look like $15.00 ones!!
As long as she takes her meds, she won't melt-down. Seriously...
Hehehe. Just a few weeks ago a lefty friend of mine, who pisses and moans incessantly about the victims of the Bush economy, lost jobs, etc, etc, was instead bitching about a broken windshield: a rock chip from a passing semi. He went on and on about trucks taking over the local highways, and how it had to be stopped. I laughed in his face. Sadly, he had no clue why.
He also made a cult movie in the 60s called "Hey, Joe" (I think that is the name of it). It was nothing but a left wing propanda piece painting all conservatives as nuts, and left wingers as peace loving.
The title was just "JOE" and he played a Queens, NY type hardhat (an evil phrase to the left at that time) who's teenage daughter rebels and takes on a lifestyle that is so offensive to his small right-wing mind that he turns homicidal. It launched Boyle's career.
