Who wears the pants in the Heinz family
American Spectator online ^ | 8/10/2004 | Prowler

TENDERFOOT KERRY Just who wears the pants -- and carries the cash -- in the Kerry family became embarrassingly clear over the weekend, when, while shopping in Albuquerque, John Kerry had to let wife Teresa cover the cost of jewelry he wanted to buy for her.

Terry Kerry pulled out the $125 necessary for her hubby to buy her a turquoise necklace. While the Senator seemed perturbed at the situation, the missus acted like this was business as usual, chirpily thanking the mature woman behind the counter in Spanish: "Muchas gracias, abuelita." ("Thank you very much, grandmother.") The candidate, on the other hand, gave a half-hearted wave and walked out of the shop.

Kerry's whole New Mexico trip was a bit of disaster. For part of the day, in an attempt to play "regular guy," the Massachusetts senator wore new cowboy boots procured for him by Gov. Bill Richardson. "But they made his feet sore, and we had to get them off," says a campaign staffer.

Kerry also went shopping for a cowboy hat, but apparently some staffers were able to cut him off at the cash register before another embarrassing photo op could develop.

It's not who wears the pants. They both do.

The real question is, who has the full pockets.

He's really into those half-hearted waves, isn't he?

Hey y'all; check this out. What a dweeb. Can you imagine John F'n Kerry in cowboy duds standing next to GW dressed the same way. I have to think that even our gracious president would have a hard time not falling on the floor in raucous laughter....although I'm sure he would when he got home, and probably continue laughing about it for years to come.

" because, "the media wouldn't have the nerve to come at us with this kind of stuff," says the source. "The senior staff believes the media is committed to seeing us win this thing"

The first part sounds like a veiled threat. The second, well, it would be good to file this under "furthur proof that objective journalism is a thing of the distant past."

And you even color co-ordinated the frame, LOL. Without that face, it looks like a lot of little boys years ago, before it became 'bad' for boys to play cowboys and indians!

Too funny!

Subject: Campaiging about there being "two Americas":

The problem is Edwards loves it. Kerry loves it. And the media really buys into it and promotes it for us. We just don't think the voters buy it

Good grief, these people are morons. Their flip flops are so enormous and well known, they're about to receive an Olympic Gold Medal.

Its not so much who wears the pants as it is a question of "Who wears the panties ?"
