John and Elizabeth Edwards Celebrate Anniversary at Wendy's--Joined by the Kerrys (pics)
Washington Post ^

TOWN OF NEWBURGH, N.Y., July 31 -- John and Elizabeth Edwards celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary today, and they and this small upstate town will not soon forget it.

The John Kerry campaign pulled its 10-bus caravan up to Wendy's restaurant to accommodate the vice presidential couple, who had their first date at the fast-food restaurant and always dine there on their anniversary . This is not one they will soon forget because the celebration included John and Teresa Heinz Kerry, Tom Brokaw, George Stephanopoulos, and 100 members of the media.

"So you understand, this is our anniversary. We always celebrate our anniversary at Wendy's," Elizabeth Edwards told the clerk as she ordered her Classic Combo Single.

Ditto for her mate -- but he went with cheese. And John Kerry went for the Chili and chocolate frosty. The power couples certainly caused a stir -- but it was Ben Affleck who moved with a throng. A Democrat and friend of Kerry's, the movie actor said he joined the trip to learn about the political process and not always be around just for the glamorous work.

Ben Affleck? What an idiot. Well, he's probably checking out where he's going to be working in a few years.

"See this, Teraizzzza? This is called a disposable cup. Inside of it is something called "soda." Don't ask me why they call it that.

Mr. Kerry doesn't look like he's ever held a soda cup before, but Mrs. Edwards does.

After Mrs. Edwards left Wendy's, management had to scramble to replenish the food supply...

Oh my God, someone PLEASE tell him to trim his nails! Yikes!
With all of that "hand shaking" and "baby holding" to do, he's going to injure someone! Or worse yet, he could cause a nasty scratch to his buddy John during one of their many embraces! (sorry, I'm out of control)...

Check the background; looks like Lurch was really good for business. SS guy on right is making sure the Kerry/Edwards $14 is all they're gonna get today.

Nah.......he's just out trying to score points with his future Father-in-law!

Yah know, that would tick me off if I was a diner there and this "flock" of sheeple came stomping in and took over the restaraunt whil I was trying to have a nice normal meal.

Ask Edwards's wife. I'm sure she'll find them crunchy and delightful.
