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

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.

Guess his parents forget to teach him manners

Yep. Also, for such an articulate speaker (Nixon's observation), Kerry resorts to profanity surprisingly often. This has *got* to be some sort of ploy to distance himself from the image of the northeast liberal. He may indeed use rough language, but I think he's now on the lookout for opportunities to do so.

It's kind of like Gore's "Alpha Male" nonsense. Al began dressing in earth tones and got Rolling Stone to airbrush his "package"; Kerry is utilizing language that is calculated to make him more appealing to blue-collar voters and vulgar teenagers. He knows that Bush projects a very masculine image and is trying to avoid looking prissy by comparison. It is ALL calculated and disingenuous, I'm convinced.

Come on, everyone. This is no different than when we were up in arms over all the bad press surrounding Cheney's a-hole remark.

You are right. But the "I don't fall down" comment is pretty telling, not just a flash of anger.

Not quite, that a-hole Cheney was talking about was there to put a knife in his back not take a bullet for him

This guy is un-F'n-believable. To curse at some one who is trained to take a bullet for you is absurd. How does Kerry know that some passer by wasn't trying to nail him with a snowball?

Kerry better be thankful that the SS guy didn't plow into him like I would have done.

I'd agree if it weren't essentially a bodyguard that Kerry was dissing. It goes to his disdain for uniform type services, even if they are there to protect him.

"Yeah. I wonder what his DUhmmy screen name is."

Probably "Repubs-suck" or something similarly clever and hip.

Never mind that he was protecting him from a speeding bullet.

How about this:

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

Thuston is funny, but IMO Winthrop has the same cachet...and Kerry really is a Winthrop!

BTW, wasn't that Dan Ackroyd's name in "Trading Places?"

"He should have issued a formal apology immediately when he saw the Times article this morning."

At the rate he's going, he needs to employ a full-time apology/damage control team. He's already spinning out of control and being caught in so many lies that only the most ignorant and the most gullible could ever be taken in by him.

I can just hear the arrogant, self absorbed snob Kerry saying after his profane outburst "You just can't find good HELP these days!"

"I don't fall down," Quite a boast, considering all that flip-flopping.

Maybe his SS codename is "Weebil"...you know, he wobbles but he don't fall down.

The only good thing about Kerry is he will not last to the election at the rate he is F'n-up.

Kerry probably got out of his chauffered SUV at 8,990 ft and walked 20 ft past the 9,000 ft marker and got back in the SUV to travel the rest of the way to the top of the ski slope. I seeriously doubt that Kerry hiked any further than necessary to get these photo-ops.

The USSS agent was probably trying to keep Kerry from skiing into a tree when he knocked him over.

"To curse at some one who is trained to take a bullet for you is absurd."

Niven's law: Don't throw s**t at a man who's carrying a gun.

First corollary to Niven's law: Don't stand next to someone who's throwing s**t at a man who's carrying a gun.
