So why is Kerry the only one with a bottle of water instead of a glass? Glass not good enuf?

For some reason, Theraaaaayza won't let him use the family food-tasters anymore, so he has to bring his own stuff wherever he goes....

Looks to me like it's Saratoga Spring water, about which there's quite a bit of background to F'n and his water bottles in the NYT Magazine:

an evening in August, just after a campaign swing through the Southwest, Kerry and I met, for the second of three conversations about terrorism and national security, in a hotel room overlooking the Ferris wheel on the Santa Monica pier. A row of Evian water bottles had been thoughtfully placed on a nearby table. Kerry frowned.

''Can we get any of my water?'' he asked Stephanie Cutter, his communications director, who dutifully scurried from the room. I asked Kerry, out of sheer curiosity, what he didn't like about Evian.

''I hate that stuff,'' Kerry explained to me. ''They pack it full of minerals.''

''What kind of water do you drink?'' I asked, trying to make conversation.

''Plain old American water,'' he said.

''You mean tap water?''

''No,'' Kerry replied deliberately. He seemed now to sense some kind of trap. I was left to imagine what was going through his head. If I admit that I drink bottled water, then he might say I'm out of touch with ordinary voters. But doesn't demanding my own brand of water seem even more aristocratic? Then again, Evian is French -- important to stay away from anything even remotely French.

''There are all kinds of waters,'' he said finally. Pause. ''Saratoga Spring.'' This seemed to have exhausted his list. ''Sometimes I drink tap water,'' he added.

"Hey John, go get us all another cup of coffee, pronto!"

This would be in a bubble over John F. Kerry's head,
if I had the technical skill to do that ...

There, but for the grace of God, go I ...

Is that Allen, or is it Frist?

President George W. Bush meets with members of Congress Thursday, March 16, 2006, in the Cabinet Room of the White House. The President thanked the attendees and singled out Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) saying, "I can remember on the campaign trail, he said that he supported a line-item veto, and he is following through on his word by being here at the table."

"John, I see you are still far to my left"

No caption, just an observation on body language. Kerry looks subservient in the photo. The President looks as if he's having fun at Kerry's expense. Hehehehehe.

"John, how's your good friend Madame Binh? Any chance you'll be spending
Christmas with her in Cambodia this year, or is it back to Paris again?"

[SDGOP]

I sure hope so.
