Kerry Ignores Reports That He Is 'Aloof' (2004-02-09) -- Democrat presidential frontrunner Sen. John F. Kerry today ignored reports that he is 'aloof' and dismissed charges that he is 'patrician' or 'aristocratic', calling the the latter "lies promulgated by provincial proletarians -- the ignorant hoi polloi."
As reporters pressed Mr. Kerry about his alleged aloofness, the junior senator from Massachusetts casually waved his hand, as if brushing off crumbs from his necktie. He then continued to talk about his service in Vietnam in contrast with President George Bush's "on again, off again stint in the National Guard."
During a campaign stop at a restaurant, Mr. Kerry carefully carved a pizza slice with a knife and nibbled small morsels of it from a fork as he told some local people about his service in Vietnam.
He used the occasion to again refute claims that his noble lineage sets him apart from most Americans.
"Just because I was born into wealth, attended an Ivy League school, married two wealthy women and live in a multimillion dollar home in Boston's finest neighborhood, doesn't mean that I can't identify with the common man," said Mr. Kerry. "I can relate to the average Joe Sixpack. He loves to hear about my service in Vietnam and I enjoy talking about it. So we have something in common."

Probably spent all his time a 4-Star restaurants skulking about for the next rich heiress. And to think that the media gave Bush grief over not knowing the price of Milk. Yea, Kerry is one of us. right.

"Kerry Ignores Reports That He Is 'Aloof'" Yes, there has been an unfortunate spelling error here. Kerry is not aloof, he is afool.

"You know, Anna Nicole is single..." And a BIG fine strapping woman she is too! Keep a poodle like Kerry warm at night in those cold New England winters.

This must be a typo.
He served in Vietnam?
Why weren't we told this before?
