Joke: Kerry says that Marlon Brando talked him into supporting the Sandinistas. Or as the evil puppet Susan Sarandon says :"You will die a peasant's death". Still, I am hoping that another lesson from the great american classic "on the waterfront" that Gore learnt from Brando would somehow be the same lesson that Kerry and Edwards can rehearse on the early morning of Nov 3rd. You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am (G)

This was reported in that GQ article on Kerry, that he was friends with Brando and that Brando gave him advice on Nicaraguan politics, which he took. And for the first time, Kerry also revealed that he had a superstar adviser in the 80's -- Marlon Brando. The screen legend was a close friend of the Kerry family, and the candidate said that Brando actually gave him a lot of suggestions about US policy in Nicaragua. "He tells us that Brando made a lot of policy suggestions and he tells us that he actually took some of them to heart," Hainey revealed. extratv.warnerbros.com
