John Kerry Assembles Fact-finding Team to Help Him Understand the Mystery of Middle Class America 3/22/2004 Senator John Kerry, three weeks after announcing his wish to send a fact-finding team to Iraq, has announced plans to send a fact-finding team to "working class America." Kerry, who said he wanted to send a team to Iraq "in order to better understand and judge the situation in a foreign land I know nothing of," says "it's basically the same deal with working class America. Frankly, I know nothing of it! I mean, what do these people wear? What do they eat? Do they even speak the same language as me?" The Massachusetts Democrat says he is sending several aides to working class America, rather than go himself "because I really don't want to spend time with those people. Would you? Hell, it's killing me having to go out and shake hands with people in the local TJAppleby's of whatever the hell town I'm campaigning in. Imagine if I had to go meet people in their crappy little homes, and, you know, pretend to enjoy eating the Hamburger Helper or whatever other garbage the unemployed missus had come up with for dinner." Kerry added that his wife, Teresa, hoped his fact-finding team would come back from working class America with "videos, reports, audiotaped interviews, local newspapers, everything they can get their hands on so that I can learn about these people without actually having to touch them. Teresa says if I touch them, I can't touch her." brokennewz.com I borrowed this post from Ann Corrigan's thread. And also this follow-up response: The Massachusetts Democrat says he is sending several aides to working class America, rather than go himself "because I really don't want to spend time with those people. Would you? Hell, it's killing me having to go out and shake hands with people in the local TJAppleby's of whatever the hell town I'm campaigning in.

Kerry added that his wife, Teresa, hoped his fact-finding team would come back from working class America with "videos, reports, audiotaped interviews, local newspapers, everything they can get their hands on so that I can learn about these people without actually having to touch them. Is this for real? Or just a figment of some malicious mind? Or just another example of the kind of candidate that the Democrats are now stuck with, like him or not.
