Kerry-Edwards:It's their country, the rest of us just work here

[skikvt]

My Mother has interesting a Kerry story:

About 5 years ago, she and a small group of friends were skiing at Loon Mountain in N.H. down a trail called "Upper Walking Boss" when they came upon a group of four people, two men and two women. A young woman in the group had seriously hurt a leg, was extreme pain and they requested a sled be sent down.

My mother and her friends recognized that John Kerry was one of the two Men and that he obviously was involved with the injured woman some how. Kerry, seeing that he'd been recognized, said to his friend "I can't be seen here" and then skied away.

Between wives, Kerry, chartered a sailboat in the Caribbean for a week for himself, his date and another couple.

It is custom and the charter service explains that the crew gets tipped at the end of the week.

At the end of the week, Kerry walked off the vessle, stiffing the captain and crew.

Well I guess they know who Kerry is....an elitist pig.

Good article.

Thanks for sharing that. I think his arrogance comes across clearly in all 3 debates. The comment about those earning more than $200,000 was a look down your nose one. In this last debate answering that last question he showed absolute arrogance by mentioning his wife's money, but not his wife. When he speaks he is speaking to elitists, I don't see how any average Joe's see anything in this man.

Unaware that she was on a nearby porch and within earshot, Kerry was telling Julia that he didn’t want Jane to eat dinner with the family that evening. When Julia asked why, Kerry explained that some dinner guests he had invited didn’t approve of the help eating with the family

I can just picture him saying this with his snob tone of voice

Sorry to nitpick--but the author used the term "once-venerable party". The Democratic Party is STILL venerable. He should have written "once-VENERATED."
I've seen this before; it's a common mistake, and an irritating one. Like "alot" for "a lot."

Otherwise--great article!

Kerry explained that some dinner guests he had invited didn’t approve of the help eating with the family.

This story fits the Kerry we all know and despise. I can just imagine him thinking of the other Vietnam Veterans Against the War as the "help." So, it was ok for those riff raff to throw their medals over the fence. But John Kerry? No way. Also, the way he treated his Secret Service detail on the ski slopes and talks down to questioners was classic Thurstyn Howell. He is an arrogant, self-important twit and I can't wait for Bush to cut him down to size on Nov 2nd.

These elitists are so selfish, unattractive, and uncivilized.

How anyone could fall for that crap is beyond me. There are folks with money who worship the money; their "common man" followers are others who worship money, but think they don't have enough of it. Those are the leftys in a nutshell.

To quote Lynn Cheney, "This is not a good man."

Jane went on to explain that Julia had put her foot down and told her husband she refused to explain that Kerry wanted her to eat in another room.

Of course! That's why Kerry divorced her -- insufficient snobbery!
