The story is in there--I have the book in front of me.

Patterson continues with more of what Cranmer told him about that trip--he was flying Kerry and some of Kerry's staff to places in Cambodia and Vietnam during the POW/MIA discussions. Right after the "I never sail on anything less than 135 feet" comment, he says:

Their first stop was Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where Kerry's party was to have lunch with members of the Cambodian government. The crew, meanwhile, had brought along a pizza, purchased at the Kadena Air Base exchange, and stowed it on board for their only meal of what was to be a very long day. Amazingly, without asking, Kerry grabbed the pizza and started passing it around to his party, while the pilots flew their aircraft.

Never heard of that story. I'll pass it along. What a prick.

It's to bad that a 527 didn't pick up this aspect of his personality and go with it. I think after the Cheney fiasco and his muffing the "strong woman" question, making sure to rub the Democrat party's nose in the overwhelming sense of entitlement by shown by Kerry/Edwards. If they want to play who's richer the Dems current party would win hands down. Reminding America that John Kerry thinks of them as the "little people", would just continue to pound nails into the coffin. Class warfare, bring it on, John Kerry shows more everyday that he thinks he's special and you're not.
