Marriage Gaffe: Kerry's Swallows Own Foot up to the Ankle [Confuses "Marrying Up" and "Trading Up"]
Paul Klenk | Oct. 14, 2004 | Paul Klenk

Kerry's mistatement last night on marriage betrayed the shoddy job that's been done to Americanize him for the average voter.

When referring to his marriage to Mrs. Heinz, he used the phrase "marrying up."

What he meant to say was "trading up."

Marrying up is when someone marries a woman far superior to himself socially. Trading up is when a man dumps one woman for a far wealthier one.

John, we expect better speechification from a president. Go back to school, boy!

By the way, I love Lucianne's recent quip to the effect that "the only animal Kerry has hunted is Wild Heiresses."

After his statement, I was "throwing up."

What I thought was telling was when Schieffer gave him that softball question about strong women in his life, and he says NOTHING about Teresa. Just talks about him mother. ANd if she really said "integrity, integrity, integrity" with her dying breath, he must have really needed the warning and she knew it.

Well I'll never sign a prenup again!

I guess you could say he screwed up, but that might be in bad taste...

I think she communicated that message to him in a lengthy, exuberant voicemail on his private cell phone.

Line from a journalist interviewed on Fox...

When he got home, she probably cut up his credit cards.

I actually had to think about that for a moment. Very funny.

Please go to the awards table and pick up a sticky bun.

Here we see John sKerry at a young age sampling the very foot he would insert into his mouth time after time in the future.

The CNN crew LOVED that statement...said it showed he was more comfortable now, could joke about these things. They (Greenfield and Aaron Brown and the rest) sure adore John Kerry.

Yes, the first Mrs. Kerry is still alive...otherwise there wouldn't be any question about whether JK got an annulment (since Teresa was a widow, not a divorcee).

Of course CNN loved it! They don't have a clue, either!

Absolutely! And let's not forget that it took him only 6 years to divorce his 1st wife because he enjoyed HER lifestyle!

Everyone must call John Kerry just before they die to give him advice. Christopher Reeve did too!

John Kerry: "Actually, I married up before I didn't marry up."

Sorry. Couldn't resist. He is such a schmo.
