JCP, Typical straw man. I never claimed this, only that he wasn't a legacy at Harvard as Bush was, which he wasn't. Kerry's branch of the family wasn't anywhere NEAR as wealthy as the Bush's - his father actually had to WORK for a living in the Foreign Service as a mid-level functionary. Another irrelevant "nuance." The game of "rich or richer" doesn't concern me: en.wikipedia.org Although the extended family enjoyed a great fortune, Kerry's parents themselves were upper-middle class; a wealthy great aunt paid for Kerry to attend elite schools in Europe and New England. Kerry spent his summers at the Forbes family estate in France, and there, he enjoyed a more opulent lifestyle than he had previously known in Massachusetts. While living in the U.S., Kerry spent several summers at the Forbes family's estates on Naushon Island off Cape Cod. Tenchusatsu
