Ok, let's think about this. If someone got in your path snowboarding wouldn't a good portion of us call them what Kerry allegedly called the SSA?

However, we also know that Kerry has a proven record at being a Johnsonhead. The American people can see this plainly, like they did Gore, and will kindly not elect this Loser!

Dean is going to have nothing on Kerry when it's all said and done.

YEEEEAAAHHHGGGG!

I'm sure we haven't gotten the full story. But, Kerry seems to be the type of person who blames every else. "I don't fall down!" I've known people who always found ways to blame their own foibles on others. Because the SS agent has complained to superiors, it sounds as if Kerry and his arrogance and similar Hillary's in the way they both treat people/subordinates.

Not if that someone's job description included taking a bullet for us.

Ya think? When the article says the SSA got in Kerry's snowboarding path inadvertently during a ''ski mishap''? Sounds to me like the SSA was on skis & fell and Kerry was upset because Kerry collided into the SSA. (I doubt that the SS agents are on snowboards.) Which brings up another point--was Kerry wearing a helmet? Or would a helmet spoil his MTV snowboarding photo-op moment?

Exactly the opposite. The number one safety rule of skiing/riding is that one must yield to those downhill. Since forward motion of any skiier is in a downhill direction, whoever overtakes another is responsible to avoid a collision. The downhill skiier has the right of way. Thus, if "the agent inadvertently moved into his [Kerry's] path," then it was Kerry who overran the agent, and Kerry was entirely as fault.

Every responsible skiier knows that you are responsible not to hit what might move into your path. NO EXCEPTIONS (unless some odd circumstance where the agent aggressively overtook Kerry, and cut right in front of him, but there is no evidence of this.)

First of all, from this story it seems that Kerry was the uphill party, and any ski area would tell you that it's the uphill party's responsibility to avoid the collision. And second, the Secret Service agent is not going to be looking at Kerry - he's going to be scanning the surroundings for any potential threat - and Kerry should have been smart enough to give the guy plenty of room instead of swooping about like some pimply-faced brat.

The more I read about this incident, the more telling about Kerry's character (or lack thereof) it gets.

Probably ... but we'd call HIM the name, at the time of the collision, not tell the amassed reporters afterwards. Nor would most of us say we don't fall. This was simple fault finding, having to find a scapegoat (whose job is to take a bullet for HIM if it came to it).

The reason this minor event became news was its exposing character flaws in the man who would be POTUS. We chortled when MamaDean said young Howard "didn't treat the servants like servants" but it seems Mr. Kerry does. He needed his whipping boy.
