The nation’s richest senator - the Bay State’s own John Forbes Kerry - has been knocked down a few notches after seeing his fortune sliced by one-third by the fiscal meltdown that ripped down Wall Street.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving cabana boy. ;)

So the top three richest senators are Dems. These are the guys representing the ‘little guy’. Right.

As for Kerry, he sold millions in stocks in 2007, including shares in Anheuser-Busch, Honeywell, McDonald’s, Raytheon and Coca-Cola, all of which saw dramatic price increases in 2008. He cashed in millions of shares in his wife’s company, Heinz, which also saw its value jump in 2008.
He also shifted around millions in private equity and asset management funds in 2007, and purchased several banking stocks, including millions in Capital One, a troubled lender that has since received $3.5 billion in federal bailout money.

Looks like Kerry was trying to sell short based on inside information (but guessed wrong) and attempted to enrich himself using same to scarf up bank stocks. He should probably get at least as much jail time as Martha.

Kerry’s stock portfolio has been Swift-boated.

Kerry was not alone in his personal financial losses.

Yeah a hole, that is one solitary thing we have in common. Go right ahead and adopt you cap & trade as well as the national health rip off. We will both be living in a van down by the river.

ha—good comment from the original Herald article:

>>JOHN KERRY OUT MILLION$
>>>I thought this headline was announcing Kerry’s split from Mama T (Teresa). The day she leaves him is the day Jared at Subway gains a famous coworker with a horse face.

The richest Senator is almost certainly John D. “Jay” Rockefeller of West Virginia. He may just have it hidden better than some others.

This article is BS until someone can tell me that Teresa Heinz has merged her $$$ with John Kerry’s. Which I find highly unlikely. By himself Kerry is worth at most 3-5 million

1n 2004 I never heard any stories about him pumping any of this alleged fortune into his Presidential campaign .....Teresa didn’t either

I can't believe he said this.

"He may just have it hidden better than some others."

He does not have to. He is one of the wealthiest "trustifarians" in America.

The dynastic trust of the Rockefellers is run by some of the sharpest people on the planet, including good old David, Jay's uncle.
