Kerry's served on GOP menu as dead duck By Howie Carr Tuesday,
August 31, 2004

You're John Kerry and the only liberal puke who's had a worse August than you is William Kennedy Smith.

They said it was your election to lose, and you're losing it.

You told 'em you were no Dukakis and you're not. As the Bush campaign pulverized him in August 1988, the Duke ran away to Tanglewood. Sixteen years later, you haven't fled to Tanglewood, you've lammed out for Nantucket.

And now you're holed up in the $9 million mansion on Hulbert Avenue that your second wife's first husband's trust fund bought.

You're John Kerry, and you can't help yourself. Somewhere today you'll just have to cut in some line somewhere and inquire of some poor wage slave, ``Do you know who I am?'' Yes, Senator, you're the narcissistic fop who's blowing the election.

You're John Kerry, and where will Lovey's billion-dollar trust fund treat you to dinner? Perhaps the Chanticleer in Sconset, or do you prefer The Galley on Cliffside Beach?

You're John Kerry, and you're a man of the people. People who are willing to spend $150 on dinner for two, if you don't want any wine.

If only you could sit down with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, perhaps at Topper's Restaurant at the Wauwinet Inn. If you could just break baguette with them and then partake of a simple three-course dinner. It's one of the best buys on the island, only $78 per person, not including wine. In such a modest eatery, surely you could reason with them.

You're John Kerry, and you could order the food for them: for an appetizer, the poached Hudson Valley foie gras with black mission fig preserve and Portuguese bread. On top of the $78, there's a ``$5 supplement'' for that, and another ``$8 supplement'' if you go for the poached Nantucket lobster navarin.

``O'Neill,'' you could say to the head Swift Boat vet, ``why am I not connecting with the voters? I like all the same things they do - hang-gliding, $35 million Gulfstream jets, ski chalets in Sun Valley . . .''

You're John Kerry, and after a hard day of riding your $8,000 Serotta bike, you owe yourself a big feed, and may I recommend one of our favorites here at Topper's?

Go for the grilled Peking Duck breast and confit with quinoa, tot soi and ginger-peach chutney.

Dead duck, Senator. It's always in season for liberal Massachusetts snots running for president. Not lame duck, but dead duck.
