The morning after the Feb. 3 primaries, which vaulted Kerry into a virtual-ly insurmountable lead, the candidate was fuming over his missing hairbrush. He and his aides were riding in a van on the way to a Time magazine cover-photo shoot. Nicholson had left the hairbrush behind. "Sir, I don't have it," he said, after rummaging in the bags. "Marvin, f---!" Kerry said. The press secretary, David Wade, offered his brush. "I'm not using Wade's brush," the long-faced senator pouted. "Marvin, f---, it's my Time photo shoot."

Nicholson was having a bad day. Breakfast had been late and rushed and not quite right for the senator. In the van, Kerry was working his cell phone and heard the beep signaling that the phone was running out of juice. "Marvin, charger," he said without turning around. "Sorry, I don't have it," said Nicholson, who was sitting in the rear of the van. Now Kerry turned around. "I'm running this campaign myself," he said, looking at Nicholson and the other aides. "I get myself breakfast. I get myself hairbrushes. I get myself my cell-phone charger. It's pretty amazing." In silent frustration, Nicholson helplessly punched the car seat.

If this crap is news now, it was news last February. The fact that 'Newsweek' would bury this until after the election, and then come out and present it with a straight face now is beyond reprehensible. I have no stomach to see the remains of John Kerry and his pathetic wife picked over by these vultures. Politically, morally and personally, Kerry has made his own hell, and he's welcome to it. I'll pass.

If a missing hairbrush can send Kerry over the edge, he really wasn't up to the job of the presidency. LOL

[mabelkitty]

That relationship is truly bizarre.
This entire article must be read - 6 pages.
No mention that Wes Clark leaked the intern story.
And we're supposed to buy that they stayed in sleazy hotels before wrapping up the nomination. Please.

On Feb. 12 Matt Drudge, the Internet gossip columnist, reported that two major news organizations were working on a story that Kerry had an "intern problem" with a young female campaign worker. The story was bogus, but in the post-Monica Lewinsky era, the Kerry campaign feared it would break out of the cesspool of the lower tabloids and Drudge and make it into the mainstream press, cause a distracting flap and possibly open the door to a late Edwards challenge. Democratic members of Congress, whose staffs read Drudge like everyone else in the Washington journalist-politico world, were anxiously calling in to Kerry headquarters. Kerry's staff had to feverishly work the phones to newspaper reporters, imploring and bluffing

Bull Shucks it was "bogus."

She went into hiding in Africa, and her father called Kerry a "scumbag." Three days later, he changed his story and said he $upported Kerry.

This reads like an episode from the Anna Nicole Show... Seriously.

[aragona]

This also explains where the daughters get their F*** language from!

Mr. Obvious Bump.

[Sunshine Sister]

I would never prostitute myself to people like this. They are not worth it!

[Sam the Sham]

Where is that from ?

Honestly, if a little brush can disrupt his concentration and take him out of his game, how could Kerry have performed in a pressure situation ?

[mc5cents]

LOL !!!! I bid a nickel

I'll bid one canadian looney.

Veggie Tales Hairbrush Song


Narrator: "Now it's time for silly songs with Larry.
The part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song.
Our curtain opens as Larry, having just finished his morning
bath, is searching for his hairbrush. Having no success, Larry cries out..."

Larry: "Oh, where is my hairbrush? Oh where is my hairbrush? Oh, where,
oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh,
where oh, where ... is my hairbrush?"

Narrator: "Having heard his cry, Pa Grape enters the scene. Shocked and
slightly embarrassed at the sight of Larry in a towel, Pa regains his
composure and reports ..."

Pa: "I think I saw a hairbrush back there!"

Larry: "Back there is my hairbrush. Back there is my hairbrush. Back
there, back there, oh, where, back there, oh, where, oh, where, back
there, back there, back there ... is my hairbrush?"

Narrator: "Having heard his joyous proclamation, Junior Asparagus enters
the scene. Shocked and slightly embarrassed at the sight of Larry in a
towel, Junior regains his composure and comments ..."

Junior: "Why do you need a hairbrush? You don't have any hair!"

Narrator: "Larry is taken aback. The thought had never occured to him.
No hair? What would this mean? What will become of him? What will become
of his hairbrush? Larry wonders ..."

Larry: "No hair for my hairbrush. No hair for my hairbrush. No hair, no
hair, no where, no hair, no hair, no hair, no where back there, no hair
.. for my hairbrush."

Narrator: "Having heard his wonderings, Bob the Tomato enters the scene.
Shocked and slightly embarrassed at the sight of Larry in a towel, Bob
regains his composure and confesses ..."

Bob: "Larry, that old hairbrush of yours ... Well, you never use it, you
don't really need it. So, well, I'm sorry ... I didn't know. But I gave
it to the Peach - 'cause he's got hair!"

Narrator: "Feeling a deep sense of loss, Larry stumbles back and laments..."

Larry: "Not fair! Oh, my hairbrush. Not fair! My poor hairbrush. Not
fair, not fair, no hair, not fair, no where, no hair, not fair, not
fair, not fair! My little hairbrush!"

Narrator: "Having heard his lament, the Peach enters the scene. Himself
in a towel, both Larry and the Peach are shocked and slightly
embarrassed at the sight of each other. But recognizing Larry's
generosity, the Peach is thankful ..."

Peach: "Thanks for the hairbrush."

Narrator: "Yes, good has been done here. The Peach exits the scene.
Larry smiles, but, still feeling an emotional attachment for the
hairbrush, calls out ..."

Larry: "Take care of my hairbrush. Take care, oh my hairbrush. Take
care, take care, don't dare not care. Take care. Nice hair. No fair.
Take care, take care ... of my hairbrush."

Narrator: "The end!"

"I’m positive that he acts like an obsequious toad in her presence."

Perhaps. I could be wrong but it's more typical that people who cannot control themselves outside are worse in private. I still lean towards the possibility that he, at least sometimes, does this at home and, manifestly, she allows it. Sometimes people really do choose to take abuse. Just a hunch, obviously.

[Preachersdaughter]

No Way!!! President Bush has MUCH more class than Kerry could ever dream of having!!!

[Alberta's Child]

I'll bet there is no "inside story" of the Bush campaign; I'm sure Newsweek will only run the sordid details of the losing campaign.

The most demoralizing aspect of a Kerry victory would have been to find out afterward that the Democrats -- for the fourth straight Presidential election, mind you -- had nominated a candidate who may very well be a certifiable loony-tune.

[freedomson]

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Preachersdaughter]

What do you mean you FORGOT to make my spray-tan appointment?!?!??!

[goodnesswins]

Just like we all knew.....GIRLY MAN!

[rod1]

The next few time Kerry shows his face in public he should be fereeped with people holding up hair brushes. Tthe guy is all fluff and otherwise a big zero. and the MSM was tryting to sell on Kerry "super intelligence" and higs command of vocabulary when dealing with comples issues. Sounds like he mainly uses one or two words when it is not scripted for him.

[processing please hold]

I was thinking that he was thinking that wade was thinking that too.

Now, say it fast three times.
