Maybe he should tell his meal ticket (wife) that!

What has he ever done besides live off the taxpayer?

I’ll listen as soon as Heinz becomes Kerry-Heinz!

(excerpt) [snooty —!]
The Kerry camp would argue that their man has some of the best Main Street business credentials since Truman. In 1976, Kerry and his friend K. Dun Gifford opened a cookie business in Boston under their mothers’ maiden names, Kilvert & Forbes. It was intended to sound, Gifford says, like “a pretty snooty upscale company.”

Though Kerry also had a law practice at the time, Gifford says his partner proved to be a hands-on operator, reviewing sales data daily. They started with two types of cookies based on family recipes, selling for $1.25 each because of costly ingredients. Kerry insisted on the Lindt chocolate he remembered from his Swiss boarding-school days and the same butter used in traditional croissants.
