Likely Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry claimed Tuesday night that he's a big fan of rap and hip-hop music.
The straight-laced Beacon Hill blue-blood who married into the $700 million Heinz ketchup fortune told MTV, "I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think that there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger - a lot of social energy in it."
Kerry said America's leaders disregard rap music at their peril, telling MTV, "I think you better listen to it pretty carefully because it's important."
Asked about some of the more outrageous lyrics in today's rap songs, Kerry replied, "Do I think some lyrics in some songs have stepped over what I consider to be a reasonable line? Yeah, I do."
He then explained, "I think when you start, you know, talking about killing cops or something like that, it bothers me."
Still, Kerry defended the gangsta rap genre, telling MTV, "I'm still listening because I know that it's a reflection of the street and it's a reflection of life. And I understand all that."

Kerry just demonstrated once again, that he's a "hoe" of the highest order.

Yo! Give a listen to my holler! Scan a digital of my green soaked shortie here! Baby got hella back! She no hang in the PJs - dawg! My other shorties are cradlefor real! We get horizontal and then wake and bake! And dont ask for her digitsIm out.
Translation:
Hi there. Let me elucidate on my wife. Take a picture of her, she is rich. She has a nice posterior as well. She does not live in projects either, that is an absolute fact. My other romantic acquaintances are very young, and that is established. We enjoy erotic interludes, followed by a cigarette afterwards as well. Please don't ask for her phone number--well, bye bye for now.

"He can't convince me he is serious about this until he appears in mega-baggy low-risers that show his butt-crack."Would you really want to see that? The mere thought turns my stomach.

Apparently, John Kerry likes profantity too, so what else is new? Kerry uses profanity, and he will try to quote scripture with the same dirty mouth. I think that Kerry impresses no one, certainly not me.

John Kerry was bored by Rap and Hip Hop until he was fascinated by it.
To think people are actually going to vote for him! OMG...just OMG.
