Did he pretend to be Irish? Whoooooaaa! Stop the Presses...Big Story.....major dirt....if that's all you folks are coming up with on Kerry, he's got to be close to sainthood. Saint Patrick would sponsor him if that's all you have. I wouldn't be all that surprised to find a quote from former Mayor Koch, that he was part Irish for a St. Patty days parade. I don't think Koch is, but he could be. jttmab

Kerry IS part Irish. The Forbes family are Scottish, English, Irish. But it's just a small part Irish. I already addressed this months ago after trading emails with the reporter at the Globe who wrote the first piece on Kerry's roots. Kerry has never lied about his roots. Kerry also corrected McLaughlin on TV when he called him Irish-American, years ago, and said he was not really Irish. Kerry is actually a melting pot; Catholic, Protestant and Jewish (though he practices Catholic), English, Scottish, Irish, German, Jewish. And definitely not French. gg But did he take out billboards in Boston saying "I'm not very Irish". No. That would have been stupid.
