Licorice—or Die Do hamster-lovers care how differently the presidential candidates treated their family pets? Our columnist investigatesWEB-EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY By Gersh Kuntzman Newsweek Updated: 12:12 p.m. ET Sept. 13, 2004Sept. 13 - Who would make a better president: A man who fought valiantly to save an innocent soul or a man who stood by as a defenseless being lost his life? advertisement Oy, not the Vietnam War again. Don’t worry. I’m going to reopen an even-deeper wound: The Hamster War. The battle began at the Democratic National Convention when Alexandra Kerry, candidate John Kerry’s daughter, told what she obviously believed was a touching story of her heroic father. "We were standing on a dock waiting for a boat to take us on a summer trip," she said. "Our golden retriever got tangled in his leash and knocked the hamster cage off the dock. We watched as Licorice, the unlucky hamster, bubbled down to a watery doom. But my dad jumped in, fished the cage from the water, and began to administer CPR." Now, granted, this is a pathetic image of a man so desperate to please his kids, so eager to protect his reputation as a "man of action," that he would resuscitate a dying hamster.

It is beyond me how this woman could wear this dress in Public (it looks like a negligee). She looks like a tramp.
Frankly, I didn't think Kerry behaved at all heroically. Instead of bravely diving in to rescue Licorice, he found an oar and fished the cage out with that. Big deal.
Actually, in an interview on the radio, her sister said she was horrified. The dress wasn't see through, but with all the flashes of the camera, it lit it up like an Xray. She sounded pretty convincing and I have a shirt that can be pretty flimsy in bright light. I guess in the dressing room she wasn't taking papparazzi into account.
Who the heck is that?
Well, that IS Bill Clinton's street name, after all...
Kerry's Hollywood daughter.
Who the heck is that?
Okay, I thought so, but I wasn't sure
It also probably never happened.
One liberal senator from Massachusetts dove into water to save the life of a hamster but the other liberal senator from Massachusetts wouldn't dive into water to save the life of a human being.

There is not a woman in the world who would put on a dress with one layer of thin material and no lining and NOT know that her breasts would show through. That thin material looks more like a sexy negligee than a dress that a woman would wear in public.
That is one nasty...ummmm....dress she's wearing. At least she had the "modesty" to wear white panties with it. I'd hate to see au naturel.
I though it was pretty funny (sorry I wasted two minutes of one poster's life) I just felt like we could all use a joke...I like the comment about Bill...yeah he should have been named er Kuntzman-for sure! LOL
For some reason, the press has yet to start parsing the anecdotes of the Kerry's like they were forced to do with the Clinton's and Gore's.
