Now it's 150............. AN EARLY LEADER IN THE COMPETITION… for understatement of the week must be this gem from a Boston Globe story about John Kerry’s ancestry: Kerry acknowledged that some voters in Massachusetts, the nation’s most Irish-American state, may have had the impression that he had Irish roots. Faith bejaysus! The article reveals that Kerry’s grandfather was a Czech Jew who changed his name from Fritz Cohn to Frederick A. Kerry when he emigrated. It’s not recorded if his picking “Kerry” as a surname when “No Irish Need Apply” signs dotted the landscape was a contributing factor to his 1921 suicide. Why is this coming up now? Well, obviously, Kerry may benefit more from Jewish roots than Hibernian ones now that he is running for president nationwide rather than for a Massachusetts US Senate seat. Remember how Hillary! dug up a Jewish relative—by marriage—when she ran in New York? I’ll bet Joe Lieberman is pretty pissed right now. The Globe came close to calling Kerry a liar with respect to this misunderstanding of his roots: He said that he knew of no Irish ancestry and that he had always tried to correct misstatements whenever he learned about them. Numerous publications, including the Globe, have stated that Kerry is Irish-American. It’s hard to imagine Kerry “always” corrected misstatements, but still kept this information from “numerous publications.” February 3, 2003 12:23 PM libertyblog.com
