Flashback: Cash and Kerry
Newsweek ^ | Feb. 9 , 2004 | Michael Isikoff

John Kerry needed cash, and soon. In July 1996 the Massachusetts senator was locked in a tough re-election fight, so he was more than happy to help when he heard that a generous potential contributor wanted to visit his Capitol Hill office. The donor was Johnny Chung, a glad-handing Taiwanese-American entrepreneur. Chung brought along some friends, including a Hong Kong businesswoman named Liu Chaoying.

Told that Liu was interested in getting one of her companies listed on the U.S. Stock Exchange, Kerry's aides immediately faxed over a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The next day, Liu and Chung were ushered into a private briefing with a senior SEC official. Within weeks, Chung returned the favor: On Sept. 9 he threw Kerry a fund-raiser at a Beverly Hills hotel, raking in $10,000 for the senator's re-election campaign.

Anyone who thinks Hanoi Kerry isn't behind the anti war crowd needs to get a clue.

I know you guys saw something about this...Jane Fonda is going to do an anti-war, country-wide rally again this next spring. Those two Kerry/Fonda - peas in a pod - traitors still to this day. Fonda said her book-signing fans asked her to stand up again against the war. She deserves more gets more spit in her face!

Well, you shouldn't say that to me.

I think you lost some say about the story/say.

I've never ever ever! lied about who I said I was.

JLO - 20 year partner to a 100% disabled VN vet.

I have never, ever lied about it. It's a true Vietnam Veteran story.

If folks want to learn and know, I'll tell it again.

Funny, I could swear I have a picture of Kerry peeking out from behind a blue curtain. Wonder why he does that?

Sorry I addressed it to the wrong person. Thanks for your nice note, potlatch and setting me straight. I thought I was being pretty good about responding correctly. Apparently NOT - LOL!

Have a good weekend, potlatch!

Thanks for writing JLO, I just didn't want you to have the impression that "I" wrote something bad to you!
