The Heinz-Kerry Water Ballet (Tales of the "Botoxed Brahmin" and his bride)

Yes he did, and with his Texan accent and Midland attitude, he learned first-hand about the snobbery of the New England Elites.

This line of argument does not work for Bush! His family can be traced back to the 17th century and was a founding member of the New England elites. His great-great-grandfather was the Episcopalian clergyman who ministered to many of the New England elites in the 19th century. As we all know, GWB's heritage includes a US Senator and a President of the United States. Barbara Bush's family, the Pierces, was equally as prominent in the region. And let us not forget that the Bushes are related by blood to British royalty.

Kerry has the Forbes family on his mother's side and immigrant lineage on his father's. The Forbeses are legitimate Boston Brahmins, but not at the top of the totem pole. Not nearly as important as, say, the Cabot-Lodges, the Holmeses or the Bushes.

Bottom line, neither Bush nor Kerry want to get into a cat fight about who is less of a "snobby New England elite."

The size of Heinz's lawn is disputed — the Boston Herald reported it as five acres, while former Blaine County Commissioner Len Harlig recalls it as being between a half-acre and an acre at that time.

I think America deserves to know the truth about ketchup boys lawn. So long as the size of his Idaho lawn is in dispute we can not sleep easy. An investigative committee must be formed immediatly to visit and survey the Heinz-Kerry property to determine the truth.
