SPRING BREAK: KERRY RETREATS TO HIS SUN VALLEY MANSION FOR 5-DAY LUXURY UNWIND

Dem candidate-in-waiting John Kerry is set for a 5-day luxury break at his Sun Valley, Idaho compound after a week riddled with gaffes, missteps and slippage in the polls.

Gorgeous, 19.5 rooms at 7,749 square-feet, with a market value of $4.9 million [property taxes of more than $30,000 annually], Kerry's Idaho vacation getaway will be the setting of a Spring Break regroup and unwind, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

Private. Kerry is looking forward to enjoying the property, including the grounds, which have been freshly landscaped with Canadian Bluegrass, Fescue and Brome Mixes at a cost of more than $200,000, records show.

Unique. The mansion's "Great Room" is a 500 year old Barn, imported from England and then reassembled in Idaho.

NEAR SOROS

While rejuvenating in Sun Valley, Kerry may meet with neighbor George Soros.

The financier and philanthropist -- and outspoken critic of the Bush administration -- recently purchased a 9,000-square-foot 11-bedroom spread close to the Kerry compound.

ABROAD

While Kerry and his wife's homes in the United States are worth at least $23,733,705, it is not clear if the candidate owns property overseas.

The campaign has repeatedly denied requests for any information on foreign assets held by Kerry.

The man has been in govt for years, on the intel committee,,who or what or how is he getting foreign assets and WHY WON'T HE SAY WHAT THEY ARE?

Watch the Democrat Attack Dogs come out and throw the mud at Bush while Kerry is away from the media.

Kerry can insulate himself from the mudthrowers (and the press) while Bush will have to respond.

Thank goodness. I'm really getting sick of seeing his ugly face and hearing his phony Kennedy voice day in and day out.

[MarkeyD]

I thought I smelled something.

[kittymyrib]

Wrong...I read this is one of the luxurious homes Terrrayza owns. Kerry is happy to be a kept "man".

Yaaaaawn Ascot Kerry relaxes with the people! The only way Yaaaawn Anti-Amerikerry could become a regular guy is to give away his wifes $billion. Maybe a nice charity or the UN??? Wonder how many skiing photops were going to get??

Pray for W and The Truth

[areafiftyone]

Maybe he will take a wrong turn down the mountain and get lost!

[cajungirl]

FOREIGN ASSET ALERT. Yall forget the grass and the servants. The foreign assets are what is important here!

Meanwhile, elements of the 1st, 2nd and 25th Infantry divisions in Iraq are living in tents, eating MRE's and getting shot at.

Spring Break doesn't exist for those brave men and women.

John Kerry has family property in France, on the Breton coast. His wife likely has stuff all over the place. What's more interesting, though, is i heard someone on NPR (of all places) saying that THK's assets had been doing some major outsourcing over the last few years.

You can't keep this stuff a secreat for very long. It'll come out soon enough.
