Kerry's little brother running for office? Gimme a break-in
Boston Herald ^ | 07/29/05 | Howie Carr

Posted on 07/29/2005 10:14:36 AM PDT by raccoonradio

You need to know only two words about Sen. John Forbes Kerry's little brother, Cameron. The words are ``break'' and ``in.''

In 1972, Cameron Forbes Kerry decided to break in . . . to the headquarters of a mere state rep who had the temerity to run for Congress against his brother John.

In 2005, Cameron decides to break in . . . to politics. He wants to run for secretary of state because, well, you have to start somewhere. Just ask Max Kennedy.

What I want to know is, why would you want to be running for secretary of state at age 54? It's an OK job if you're a state senator looking to move up, or if you're a 26-year-old Kennedy seeking an entry-level elective position.

Cam has spent his life as a supporting player. The only time he ever got the starring role was in that 1972 break-in at Rep. Tony DiFruscia's headquarters. But Cam shrewdly picked as his understudy one Tom Vallely, a future state rep who was the son of a judge, which came in quite handy when the b & e case needed a good brooming.

It was the era of political dirty tricks. Nixon had ``the Plumbers.'' As befit his blueblood status, the joke was that Kerry's crew was ``the Butlers.''

On Monday, Cam went up to the State House to visit the current secretary of state, Bill Galvin. Cam announced his intention to run if Galvin goes for governor next year. After the courtesy call to Galvin, Cam announced . . . to his big brother's fav fanzine, the Globe.

The question is, what the hell is Cam thinking of?

The theory is that Sen. Kerry is leaning toward going for broke in 2008, when he wouldn't run for both president and senator. Any sane person would tell him that the presidential nomination belongs to Hillary Clinton. But John doesn't spend much time with sane people these days.

You talk to any of his inner circle, and you'll soon hear a number – 60,000. They still entertain this moonbat fantasy that they got robbed in Ohio, which they lost not by 60,000, but by 120,000. But they've convinced themselves that the GOP somehow ``stole'' 60,000 Democrat ballots and converted them into Bush votes, which indicates they know as much about stealing votes as they do about how to break into a basement in Lowell without getting arrested.

Even if the Kerry conspiracy theory is true, they still would have lost the popular vote nationwide by more than 3 million. But to them, that's a mere quibble. Don't you know who we are?

Some pols think that John, non compos mentis, assumes that he will be handed the nomination in 2008. And that he has tipped off his brother so that Cam can prepare to keep the Senate seat warm for one of John's daughters.

Hey, why not? After JFK was elected president in 1960, they put Benjamin Smith in as a seat-warmer in JFK's Senate seat until Teddy turned 30 in '62.

At least this nutty scheme gives Cam something to do. And it sure beats going down to Naushon Island for the annual August polo-pony roundup.

I ran the seat-warming theory by Cam.

``I can't visualize that, no,'' he said.

But, of course, he can change his mind. Kerrys have been known to do that - change their minds.

But really, Cam, why would you want to run for office at this late date?

``You mean, why would I want to expose myself to getting bashed by people like you?''

I wonder if they grew up putting bows in each others hair and playing dress-up?

Politically inspired burglaries are okay if you're a Democrat. It's like, you know, crooked land deals, document shredding, mysterious suicides, rapes, sexual harassment, national security breeches, abuse of federal law enforcement files, retaliatory tax audits, drug abuse, selling official pardons, intimidating journalists...that sort of thing.

Speaking of President Kerry, today is a year since he made his famous "reporting for duty!" acceptance speech. Happy anniversary! LOL.

interesting if the seat were kept warm for the kerry daughter who wears a thong under see-through clothing....you know--the one whose left breast is larger than her right...(ow--i shouldn't have said that!)

Aw come on now! Everybody knows that almost every woman's left breast is larger than the right. I'm told it has something to do with the heart being on the left side or something like that.

I'm not a doc or other physiology expert. I just know that every left breast I've nuzzled has been larger than the one next to it.

At the risk of gettig embroiled in this tacky discussion, perhaps it has something to do with most people (including women) being right handed: thus the pectoral mustals on the right side get more exercise and become more toned.

A polo pony round-up sounds like fun. I would much prefer attending one to running for office.

You are so right about that. The dress was inappropriate for public wear. Considering her father's position and aspirations, she certainly should not have worn such a revealing garment in public. My previous mention of the physiology involved was intended as tongue in cheek sarcasm more than as an endorsement of her appearance.

It pains my male ego to have to admit that I did not notice the anomoly that you address. I think I may have been distracted and repelled by her horse nose (and general unattractiveness) to the point that I didn't study the photo in question in detail enough to note the difference stated.

hmpf. well, most women, i'm sure, would notice it! (being the cats we are!)

but she really was NOT attractive, imho, and it made me sick that she felt she needed to do that to get that kind of attention.

it's always been my opinion that being subtle is sexier than being, you know, naked on the sidewalk.

I agree, and this photo essay of a recent event in Berkeley proves it.

Warning! Do not go to site if you are squeamish. Put on the sunglasses with the ugly filter.

Big chicken. ;-)

Actually, I started to mention something about that as well. We know that part of the body is made largely of fatty tissue. Along with the muscle being better toned, the amount of fatty tissue would likely be less too.

um, that was really something. i-i--i had no idea. i mean, i've seen some somewhat like that in the gym locker room (they are often sitting naked on the very stool where my water bottle was sitting the day before) but i never really realized when they say things like "my breasts were sagging below my waist" that statement was literally true.

actually alexandra kerry's were pretty saggy.:>

boy, that zombie fella really has guts.

or something.
