So why is Kerry the only one with a bottle of water instead of a glass? Glass not good enuf?
He probably doesn't drink tap water.
Maybe that bottle water is product placement. It's a Heinz Corp product and Tereza made him bring it to the meeting for the photo op.
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.
Why is Kerry the only one with a glass of water?
Kerry and Kennedy can't take chances, they know they are so hated, maybe he knows someone will poison him. I'm sure no one who works in the white house like either Kerry or Kennedy.
