"Kerry has blamed his rootless childhood for his perceived aloofness. But those years also taught Kerry the difference between wealth and status, and how to rely on the latter when money was tight."

Uh-oh. I've run into these. Nasty bunch who trade on barbs and putdowns to cover the "wealth gap." They also pander and waffle, flip and flop opinions, tastes, and desires to fit whatever group they latch onto in life.

Bed choice, this Kerry.

And they also treat "the little people" with disdain.... like, say, Secret Service agents. They disparage Wal-Mart, yet buy blocks of its stock. They also tend to be very cheap... giving little to charity. I'd bet you that John Kerry is a lousy tipper, too.

"Rely on the latter when money was tight?"

Why didn't he just get a part time job when money was tight?
