(Whoops, I have a boat too). "We sailed on the Sloop Tax Free" LMAO, Kerry is the gift that just keeps on giving.. bostonherald.com The more Kerry changes, the more he stays the same Margery Eagan By Margery Eagan Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - Updated 2 hours ago Boston Herald Columnist Give John Kerry this. Some things, he learns. Republicans swift-boated him in 2004. Yesterday he swift-boated his wife for the second time in three days, when asked about whether he ducked a half million in state taxes by berthing his $7 million, foreign-built yacht in Rhode Island. “That depends on who owns it,” he said when asked whether he’s ever docked the oh-so-posh Isabel here. Translation: Take it up with Teresa. “My wife is the majority stockholder,” he said Friday when asked about reversing course and paying the disputed sales tax. You’d think he’d be grateful to near-billionaire Teresa, without whom Kerry might still be driving a rusty ’91 Jetta.(LOL!!! I'm just a poor gigolo, he he he) But no. He shoved her under the big boat yesterday about 10 seconds after reporters practically tackled him. He was attempting - and almost managed - a clean getaway from a South Weymouth groundbreaking event. But TV reporters shoved microphones between Kerry and the safety of his big black Tahoe’s nearly closed passenger door. Then came the tax questions. An exasperated Kerry acted as if he owed the public no explanation, as if this were all beneath him. “Not an issue, period,” he said. “There’s nothing more to say about it. “Can I get out of here please?” And whoosh - he sped away. Here’s the problem for John Kerry. It’s always been the problem, actually. Some things he never learns. Among them: that one’s disdain for the little people shouldn’t be so obvious. That dodging an enormous sales tax bill enrages average Joes and Janes who get nailed by John Kerry’s government for buying $50 tires in New Hampshire and not paying the sales tax. That’s essentially what Kerry just did, his denials and legal technicalities aside. Another thing: When you’re convinced all those pesky little rules aren’t meant for higher and mightier you, you should at least pretend otherwise. Then again, when you think about it, John Kerry is infamous for tone deaf luxury items and/or recreational embarrassments. Remember his ridiculous roller blades and wind-surfer poses. Then his Italian Ducati motorcycle, which he traded for a Harley-Davidson when he decided to run for president. And his $5,000 Serotta racing bike (at least it was American made) and his $35 million gas-guzzling Gulfstream, Flying Squirrel - which he jets in while lecturing the unwashed on global warming. This entirely clueless man very nearly became our president. I guess things could be worse.
