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.

Way to treat the people who you expect to take a bullet for you. Try insulting their mothers too, I hear that's particularly effective in motivating agents.

[Pukin Dog]

Love your new tag line. LOL.

[Betaille]

This must be the Snottiest thing any Presidential Hopeful has ever done.

[per loin]

So if he "don't fall down" then obviously all those tumbles were caused by someone else, most likely snowmen hidden in the slopes.

I wonder why there is not a photo of this when it was front page fodder of GWB and his scooter incident.

[MrsEmmaPeel]

Do you have a picture of Bush on the aircraft carrier in his flight suit -- and let's contrast that with a pix I've recently seen of Kerry with his finger up his nose.

NE Ohio pings on catsup boy kerry.

Wonder which SOB he'll blame for this. This guy is a LOSER!!

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. I think we can only take the personality issue so far. The flip-flopping is important to point out, but we can't rely on that, because people are starting to complain about what's happening at the gas pump -- that HAS to be addressed before the summer....

He flips and he flops, but the
smelly stuff is starting to stick!

LOL!!!

[WV Mountain Mama]

hiked past 9,000 feet on Durrance (snip)

I'll bet he was afraid he would fall getting off the lift.

[shhrubbery!]

This was reported earlier in --hold on to your hats -- the New York Times.

(Although the NYT didn't report precisely what the 'expletive deleted' was.)

[PhiKapMom]

The word that comes to my mind is nightmare! Cannot believe it is only the middle of March and the election isn't until November. Cannot imagine being a USSS agent for this Clymer!

Apparently, he's treating the Secret Service liked hired help.

[MrsEmmaPeel]

GWB and his scooter incident.

And a few months later, Segway recalled their scooters due to a defect -- they had a tendency to fall over if the batteries were low. (Did the recall get any press? -- as much as GWB's fall?)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I am so glad Ketchup boy is the pre-ordained Democrat nominee.

Can you say "Dukakis?"

[Snowy]

I'd love to know what the Secret Service's codename for Kerry is. Jerkwad? F#%kball? A$$wipe? The possibilities are endless.

How do we find out? What are some of the codenames for the current politicians?
