John Kerry Roughing it with Butler
Responding to criticism that he had a laundry list of demands when he stayed in luxury hotels on the campaign trail, Sen. John Kerry said yesterday that he recently took a trip where he slept every night in his truck - accompanied only by his motorcycle, a friend and his butler, "Marvin."
Asked about the trip by radio host Don Imus, Kerry explained: "Marvin and Teddy [and myself] . . . We had the best damned time, I'll tell you."
"It was wonderful," the top Democrat declared. "We didn't stay anywhere. We actually drove all night. We slept in the truck. We cruised through, you know, a couple of little pit stops early in the morning. It couldn't have been nicer."
Kerry insisted that he and his butler were really roughing it, painting a picture right out of the hippie rebel movie, "Easy Rider."
"We didn't have any pillows. I'll tell ya, man. It was really funny cause I blew into some little gas station around midnight or two in the morning, whenever it was, and some guy would do a double take and look at ya. They just couldn't figure out what I was doing there at that hour of the morning.
"I couldn't figure it out [either]," the born-to-be-wild senator added.
Kerry didn't explain who "Teddy" was - or why, if he wanted to rough it, he brought his manservant, Marvin Nicholson, along for the ride.
In 2004, Mr. Nicholson detailed some of his responsibilities to the New York Times, which began its report by noting: "Mr. Kerry is comfortable being catered to."
The man from Beacon Hill trying to be a "regular guy" for '08?
Makes real men want to puke. This milquetoast weenie could not wipe his own rear, without a butler to tell him which end of a hot dog to eat first -- :-) --- now THIS is a limosine liberal to the hilt.
A disgusting class of sub-humans.
Does he think he is fooling anyone?
OMG, wait a minute, if he's actually pandering to his constituency, geez, they must be dumb. Reminds me of a scene in "Blazing Saddles" - one move and the (sheriff) get's it!
Did they drive to Cambodia?
Check the back of the truck for empty Chivas bottles,I suspect Teddy the K was there.
ROTFLMAO...Took his butler?
Deja vu all over again!
well, sure..every time I go on a road trip I bring my butler too.
Kerry is such a dork!
For liberals hypocrisy is a state of being.
This story literally makes my skin crawl, and I don't usually freak out easily.
Top Democrat?
I'll be back to read more when I find my hip boots. This B/S is way too deep for me.
Any witnesses?
Is he calling his wife's Gulfstream a pickup? The only fool that believed that horsehocky was Imus be a lib.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
"On the Road" by J. Kerry with help from Marvin.
Marvin the Martian?
Liver do your duty!
His butler, Marvin?
Is he saying his butler is a Paranoid Android?
I guess only psychos can stand to be around him for very long; or else he drives everyone nuts.
