"Where did this money for the campaign come from?&quto; Mr. Kerry asked 7-year-old Michael Benson.

"I stole some from my dad," Michael replied.

"You found it in the favorite chair he likes to sit in, right?" Mr. Kerry asked. "It fell out of his pockets."

Michael piped up, saying he also "got some from my piggy bank."


I'm speechless. (Really, I am.)

This also violates campaign finance law that
Kerry voted for. You have to be 18 to make a
contribution.

This is at least the second time the Kerry
camp has violated this law.

I believe that it is against the law to take donations from someone that age, didn't Rush talk about this a couple of weeks ago?

Unless he just pockets the money. Makes me wonder what's next for Senator Kerry? Taking candy from a baby, perhaps?

I find it laughable that the child in the photo has a better salute than Kerry, even though it's not perfect.
