SPRING BREAK: KERRY RETREATS TO HIS SUN VALLEY MANSION FOR 5-DAY LUXURY UNWIND XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED MARCH 17, 2004 09:02:28 ET XXXXX Dem candidate-in-waiting John Kerry is set for a 5-day luxury break at his Sun Valley, Idaho compound after a week riddled with gaffes, missteps and slippage in the polls. Gorgeous, 19.5 rooms at 7,749 square-feet, with a market value of $4.9 million [property taxes of more than $30,000 annually], Kerry's Idaho vacation getaway will be the setting of a Spring Break regroup and unwind, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT. Private. Kerry is looking forward to enjoying the property, including the grounds, which have been freshly landscaped with Canadian Bluegrass, Fescue and Brome Mixes, at a cost of more than $200,000, records show. Unique. The mansion's "Great Room" is a 500 year old Barn, imported from England and then reassembled in Idaho. NEAR SOROS While rejuvenating in Sun Valley, Kerry may meet with neighbor George Soros. The financier and philanthropist -- and outspoken critic of the Bush administration -- recently purchased a 9,000-square-foot 11-bedroom spread close to the Kerry compound. ABROAD While Kerry and his wife's homes in the United States are worth at least $23,733,705, it is not clear if the candidate owns property overseas. The campaign has repeatedly denied requests for any information on foreign assets held by Kerry. ----------------------------------------------------------- Filed By Matt Drudge Reports are moved when circumstances warrant drudgereport.com for updates (c)DRUDGE REPORT 2004 Not for reproduction without permission of the author

That's obviously a joke by Nofzinger. Of course it was. Probably no more truthful than Kerry's comments. Even if they were true, Kerry would be advised to keep them to himself. It was an irresponsible comment and it would be a dangerous precedent to personalize our foreign affairs in a presidential campaign. I heard that the new prime minister of Spain has indicated a preference for Kerry. The same prime minister that owes his election to Al Qaeda. If Kerry is not careful, he is going to encourage them to take a shot at influencing our election. September and October are going to be potentially dangerous months in the U.S. New York City is going to look particularly inviting to them during the convention. I am also concerned about the Olympics.
