KERRY CALLED SECRET SERVICE AGENT 'SON OF A B*TCH' AFTER SLOPE SPILL

Dem presidential candidate John Kerry called his secret service agent a "son of a bitch" after the agent inadvertently moved into his path during a ski mishap in Idaho, sending Kerry falling into the snow.

When asked a moment later about the incident by a reporter on the ski run, Kerry said sharply, "I don't fall down," the "son of a b*itch knocked me over."

The Secret Service agent in question has complained about Kerry's treatment, top sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

Last month, Kerry began receiving Secret Service protection.

"Obviously, the complications and burden of being monitored 24-hours a day is not just an a simple inconvenience," a government source explained Friday. "But Senator Kerry should understand agents are working for his safety and well-being."

On Friday, Kerry, his snowboard strapped to his back, hiked past 9,000 feet on Durrance Peak, then snowboarded down the mountain, taking repeated tumbles. Reporters counted six falls, although Kerry was out of sight for part of the descent.

Actually, this pompous ass makes Gore look like Mr Personality.

[BobS]

He's taking "falling down" lessons from Ted Kennedy:~|

[VadeRetro]

The Dukakis camp tried to make hay over VP choices, Bentsen versus Quayle. Talking heads were asking, "What if Bush gets elected and somebody shoots him?" I got some laughs back then by asking, "What if Dukakis gets elected and nobody shoots him?"

[cinFLA]

A difference is JFK was genuine about it, JF'nK isn't. JFK looked like a family man, JF'nK looks self absorbed, alone, not a team player.

JFK was all image too. Family man? Wasn't WJC trying to beat JFK's record?

[Dustbunny]

He is such an ignorant jerk.

Rule of the mountain... skiers above must yield to those below them...

[nuconvert]

Gee, he sounds like Hillary.

[SauronOfMordor]

I wonder if, after this, a Secret Service agent would actually feel very motivated to get in the way of a bullet for Kerry, if needed.

[rocksblues]

LOL!

Hiked past 9000ft

Iinteresting reporting. One could assume by this remark that he hiked up a 9000ft mountain to do this snowboarding. Media bias as it is I expect someone drove him to the 8999ft elevation point and he hiked past the 9000ft elevation point.

[Capt. Tom]

I cannot BELIEVE he is actually running for president -- I HAS to be a joke. Please, someone, pinch me and wake me up!!!!

Ha ha ha. All the abuse us Mass. Freepers have been taking about our politicians could go national.

How about a slogan like "He's not just for Massachusetts anymore."

If he wins you will know what us Freepers feel like in Mass.

Yes... the sickening feeling of knowing your friends and neighbors are going to the polls looking for a (D) to put a check mark next too.

Think of the cabinet and appointments he could make. Hillary-Nancy Pelosi-Ted Kennedy-Paul Bergala- Henry Waxman-Howard Dean- Al Sharpton- Barbara boxer-Maxine Waters-Charlie Wrangle;just to name a few. So many choices.- Tom

[Shermy]

What's the current epithet for Jean now? Something like this?

John-Jaquesstrap F'n S.O.B. Al Qerry-Heinz

Hard to keep track.

[isthisnickcool]

LOL! Thanks! I needed that...

[kittymyrib]

He does look gay, doesn't he? Perhaps he should lose the silk.

[Snowy]

Go long!

[mass55th]

Kerry must be a Weeble

[RJL]

I have been trying to figure out who he looks like in this picture, finally it came to me.

He looks like a thin Joey Buttafuoco, how fitting!

[StarCMC]

AAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!! NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

;o)

Thank GOD, literally, that I think he has NOT A CHANCE -- especially if he keeps on going off half-cocked! (There's a joke in there somewhere, but I'm gonna leave it alone! LOL!!)

Like earlier totalitarians, present-day libs are either at your throat or at your feet: surrendering to terrorists on the one hand, abusing subordinates on the other.

DUpers will point out that Bush called the notorious a**hole Adam Clymer an a**hole during an unguarded moment with Cheney. Bush wasn't talking directly to the press, and Clymer is not in a subordinate position. The real sin to libs in that case was showing disrepect to a fellow elitist.

Some of our local elitists (a couple of second-string professors, a certain city councilman, and a fair number of doctors come to mind) are notoriously abusive toward people they view as "menials."

Since I have a habit of talking to regular folks as equals (which they are), it is pretty easy for me to identify the jerks among what passes for the local upper crust.

I never miss a chance to demean one of them. Petty? Vindictive? Maybe, but they have been begging for it for years, and I believe in the principal of "what goes around comes around."
