He steals from the master, but then pours turpentine on his booty.

I watched that on replay last night. An excruciatingly bad moment for Kerry.

[sionnsar]

Yeah. I heard that line -- so pathetic...

[EggsAckley]

I loved it when President Bush said that Kerry makes Teddy Kennedy look conservative.

[Shryke]

Indeed. I thought it was, perhaps, the most transparent moment Kerry has had in all three debates. He looked pathetic, and despite his smile, knew he was comparing himself to men FAR graeter than he. I only wish Nancy was there to walk up on stage and thump him for even using Reagan's good name in the same sentence as his.

[EagleUSA]

KERRY CONTINUES TO PROVE HE IS AN IDIOT. And his "USEFUL IDIOTS" support this buffoon.

[mountaineer]

You mean Ronald Reagan didn't marry Nancy just because she had lots of multi-million dollar houses and could buy him a $6,000 bicycle for each one?

[tomnbeverly]

A matter of Kerry watching in debate prep... Let me see what do I think good Conservatives want to hear.. hmmm if I can just score with them I will royally screw them as president.... I will make Roe V Wade virtually impossible to overturn... hell I will even allow women only if they really choose to of course but Abortion should be a mothers choice even up to 3 weeks after birth that seems like when life really starts you know... when those baby things open their eyes and stuff..

Kerry is a MONSTER... Make no Mistake about it.....

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

If Kerry had married a syphilitic crack whore, he still would have married up.

[veronica]

Well, I guess the president and you and I are three examples of lucky people who married up.

Yeah, but Bush didn't dump a first wife so he could marry a stinkin' rich widow. Can you say gigolo? I knew you could...:)

[rod1]

Your right for someone touted as just briliant, Kerry is dumb as dirt. He did not even get the real meaning of Regan's line or see the "inclusiveness" in it. and by trying to tout his wife as elevated or better than Nancy Regan or Laura Bush, at BEST Kerry come across as an arrogant braggard (which of course he is). I just doubt he wanted to show his real self to that extent. So kerry is either Dumb or-- dumb and arrogant. Those are the choices, it seems. Kerry would have been very wise to have steered totally clear of any Marriage comparisons.


teresa soon to be released tax returns couple with an SUV and luxury boat,and mansion (including foreign houses) tally
will let everyone know just exactly what kerry meant.
Lockjaw Joe will not even have an 'splain'in to do.

[gridlock]

To say that he married up "moreso than others" makes the statement explicitly about money, because that is the one thing that Teresa has more of than just about anybody.

So instead of a moment of sharing good fortune in a friendly gesture and incidentally complimenting the other fellow's wife, John F'n turned it into a contest over who grabbed the most money.

A small thing, but a very revealing moment, IMHO.

[silverleaf]

This is LOL ironic- Kerry stealing a quote from Reagan, who genuinely loved his wife and adored the ground she walked on. Of course RR intended his comment as a tribute to Nancy's grace and style.

But what was the serial gigolo Kerry inferring about his relationship with TerAYza (and Julia Thorne?)?

That THEY married down!

[drb9]

The bigger problem with his response was that he was asked to talk about Teresa, and he instead talked about his MOTHER for most of the segment. Teresa is going to rip him a new one over this. I wonder if the Secret Service is supposed to protect him from her.

[Tribune7]

And some would say maybe me moreso than others.

And it also popped instantly in my mind that this was his second marriage which increased his net worth by $500 million.

[Jenya]

Just a gigolo, everywhere he goes...

[AaronInCarolina]

What Kerry should have said was "I traded up!", from one rich heiress to an even richer one!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

The most ironic statement Kerry made last night, in my opinion, was when he talked about the private schools he attended, and in the same sentence, on the same topic, talked about the "have's" and the "have nots"!

here is an excerpt:

I was taught -- I went to a church school and I was taught that the two greatest commandments are: Love the Lord, your God, with all your mind, your body and your soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. And frankly, I think we have a lot more loving of our neighbor to do in this country and on this planet.

We have a separate and unequal school system in the United States of America. There's one for the people who have, and there's one for the people who don't have. And we're struggling with that today.

How ironic! He indicated he was "people who have". To imply he was one who did not have, or that he could empathize with those who don't have, is laughable.

[mewzilla]

Wonder if Kerry had to sign a pre-nup?

[mountaineer]

Well, I guess the president and you and I are three examples of lucky people who married up.

Why does this doofus feel compelled to lump himself, Bush and the moderator du jour in the same category. In St. Louis to Charlie Gibson, it was "We're the only three people here who make over $200,000" (or words to that effect), now it's "All three of us married up." Of course, he does that wherever he goes, trying to act like he has something in common with the people he's talking to, which may come as a surprise to those folks whose wives don't have $1 billion on hand.

[annieokie]

My take on this, he knew there would be hell to pay from Tayrazzzzza if he did not humble himself, other than that the real exam of this marriage is that he really did not give any credit to Tayrazza, but pulled out his MOTHER for the example. What a slap at Tayrazza, bet he pays for that one also. rofl
