You're John Kerry [related, bio], and the only liberal puke who's had a worse August than you is William Kennedy Smith.
They said it was your election to lose, and you're losing it.
You told 'em you were no Dukakis and you're not. As the Bush campaign pulverized him in August 1988, the Duke ran away to Tanglewood. Sixteen years later, you haven't fled to Tanglewood, you've lammed out for Nantucket.
And now you're holed up in the $9 million mansion on Hulbert Avenue that your second wife's first husband's trust fund bought.
You're John Kerry, and you can't help yourself. Somewhere today you'll just have to cut in some line somewhere and inquire of some poor wage slave, ``Do you know who I am?'' Yes, Senator, you're the narcissistic fop who's blowing the election.
You're John Kerry, and where will Lovey's billion-dollar trust fund treat you to dinner? Perhaps the Chanticleer in Sconset, or do you prefer The Galley on Cliffside Beach?
You're John Kerry, and you're a man of the people. People who are willing to spend $150 on dinner for two, if you don't want any wine.
If only you could sit down with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, perhaps at Topper's Restaurant at the Wauwinet Inn. If you could just break baguette with them and then partake of a simple three-course dinner. It's one of the best buys on the island, only $78 per person, not including wine. In such a modest eatery, surely you could reason with them.
You're John Kerry, and you could order the food for them: for an appetizer, the poached Hudson Valley foie gras with black mission fig preserve and Portuguese bread. On top of the $78, there's a ``$5 supplement'' for that, and another ``$8 supplement'' if you go for the poached Nantucket lobster navarin.
``O'Neill,'' you could say to the head Swift Boat vet, ``why am I not connecting with the voters? I like all the same things they do - hang-gliding, $35 million Gulfstream jets, ski chalets in Sun Valley . . .''
You're John Kerry, and after a hard day of riding your $8,000 Serotta bike, you owe yourself a big feed, and may I recommend one of our favorites here at Topper's?
Go for the grilled Peking Duck breast and confit with quinoa, tot soi and ginger-peach chutney.
Dead duck, Senator. It's always in season for liberal Massachusetts snots running for president. Not lame duck, but dead duck.
Nice article, Cap't. Howie's writing on Tuesdays now?
or Seared Cambodian Memories
with Damned Nixonian Lies
and Sauteed Purple Hearts.
After way too many years in New England avoiding the 'island scene' - we finally spent a week on Martha's Vinyard with friends from Europe who had heard so much about how great it was - big mistake. Boring, hard to get around, rude staff, overpriced....I could go on. It was the longest week we EVER spent on vacation - all of us were REALLY happy to leave the island. We can laugh about it now but it wasn't easy at the time.
Seared Sea Scallops with Cottage Potatoes, Bartlett Farm Sweet Corn and Lobster Butter Sauce
Sounds effin' delicious.
LMAO! Howie Carr scores one on Liveshot! Dead Duck? Indeed - and please hold the foie gras.
Look at it this way, Francoise: You'll have a great career doing Viagra commercials after your defeat.
I Love Howie, but the best one was when Scotto asked Kerry about the botox treatments.
That's actually a very tasty sounding menu. Why, oh why, can't I be a kept man?
Roasted Cod Loin...?

It's wonderful to be a Man of the People.
This absolutely nails the irony of pushing Kerry, not to mention John Edwards, as men who will fight the good fight for the little guy.
Its more than my four nights' day at a Comfort Inn suite.
Its more than my four nights' stay at a Comfort Inn suite.
Between this kind of stuff and the pink tie, John F'onda Kerry just ain't connectin' too good with Vinnie down at the Corner Bar and Grill.
Johnny-boy would probably get whacked with a pool cue, 'specially when they found out what he said about the troops back in '71.
That is one potent piece! Thanks!
Yeah and the media makes fun of President Bush's dining with the folks in the cafe in Crawford like its beneath him. The irony is the media never wonders whether Kerry thinks other folks are beneath him.
I have no clue what half of those dishes are!
But I have to say that most people that I have met with money, have problems admitting that they are more than just ordinary people.
My SIL works part time for a newspaper and my BIL has worked as an Engineer for GM since getting out of college in the 70's. You know how much money they make. My hubby's company sent him to Orlando to a Homeland Security Conference and we were able to tag along. (a dream come true for six and four year old girls!)
While explaining to my SIL that tickets to the big theme parks will run 200.00 a day, I told her that we just could not afford to do more than one day.
She said, "WE can't afford that either!"
Right. There is a big difference between "Can't" and "Won't". Some people with money don't see the difference.
That's the thing. GW is real. He's a real American.
If he and his family came to church for a pot luck, they'd fit right in, and everyone would enjoy their company.
If they came over to watch a ballgame and have some BBQ and a few beers, they'd fit right in and everyone would have a great time. I have no doubt about it.
If Kerry and his crazy wife came, they'd be freaks.
