Here's another Liveshot (Kerry's sordid nickname) story, told to me by a major Boston nightclub owner who had a luscious young galpal. <font color=orange>One night, they're all getting down, and among the guests is a four-sheets-to-the-wind Liveshot. The girl, who's up on current events, starts tearing into Kerry for his weathervane-like voting record, telling him he needs to make a ``commitment.'' ``Baby,'' he finally says, swaying ever so slightly in the breeze, ``I am ready right now to make a commitment. To you.''</font> In those days, before he tracked down 63-year-old ketchup heiress Teresa Heinz, Liveshot was known as a cheapskate tipper. Between heiresses, he could flash cash for a convertible and a fancy imported motorcycle, yet he had nothing to give to charity. Beautiful People seldom do, have you noticed? freerepublic.com

"Sen. John Kerry voted to authorize war with Iraq but now says that in voting for war, he wasn't actually voting for war. Perish the thought. It never occurred to him that, after getting Kerry's vote in favor of a war, the president would be dumb enough to take him at his word. No, sir. In voting to authorize war, the senator says he was really voting to get weapons inspectors back into Iraq. ''It was right to have a threat of force,'' he says, ''because it's only the threat of force that got Hans Blix and the inspectors back in the country.'' So, when he votes to whack your taxes up, he's really only trying to encourage you to comply with the tax rates that already exist?" suntimes.com

"Add it up. Like Kerry, Clark supported the resolution authorizing the use of force. Like Kerry, he says his purpose in doing so was to provide leverage for a U.N. solution and thereby avoid war. Like Kerry, he would have trusted the president. Like Kerry, he says Bush misled the country. Like Kerry, he says Bush rushed to war. But everywhere you look, people are talking about Clark as the man of steel who can lead the Democrats. Next, they'll be celebrating his Jewish ancestry." slate.msn.com
