April 24, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - One day after John Kerry stressed the importance of buying American cars to keep American jobs, records show that his wife owns a pricey imported German Audi.

The green 2001 Audi Quattro is registered to Teresa Heinz Kerry at their townhouse in Boston's posh Beacon Hill, according to the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. Her registration is good through February 2005.

No end to this hypocrisy.

[Free_at_last_-2001]

In the past, Kerry has raised questions about the fence's location. - he wants it between east and west Germany!

[EGPWS]

The green 2001 Audi Quattro is registered to Teresa Heinz Kerry at their townhouse in Boston's posh Beacon Hill,....

So NOW the forthcoming Presidential debates will consist of statement such as ..."BUT THAT CAR IS HERS NOT MINE"!!

John Kerry really doesn't belong in the position of running for President.

However, I am all for it!! : )

[GeronL]

Bush's truck runs on propane?? I bet the media left that out on Earth Day reports.

[EGPWS]

Bush's truck runs on propane??

Bush's truck runs on what all other vehicles in this country runs on...an economy which dictates the ability to afford to run said vehicle. : )

[GeronL]

yeah that. I knew that. What you said...

[Mo1]

Talking to the Detroit paper, Kerry said: "We have some SUVs. We have a Jeep. We have a couple of Chrysler minivans. We have a PT Cruiser up in Boston. I have an old Dodge 600 that I keep in the Senate . . . We also have a Chevy, a big Suburban."

That would what 6/7 cars his wife owns?

Hmmmm ... I guess she own that plane he flies around in to

[EGPWS]

Kerry also issued his strongest statement in favor of Israel's controversial security fence, saying, "I support the building of the security fence."

In the past, Kerry has raised questions about the fence's location.

Somehow I think Jackie Mason could have a field day with those statements!

[EGPWS]

Hmmmm ... I guess she own that plane he flies around in to

Hey, cut the poor guy some slack for crying out loud! Didn't you know that he served our country in vietnam and took "a boulder the size of the planet Mars" in his leg just so YOU could be free to post your comments?...Sorry, Kerry brings it out in me!

FYI, I do believe that it is a Gulfstream GV that Ms. John Kerry has available. It's no biggie, after all it is only a $50 million dollar aircraft!

[Mo1]

Yep .. that's just pocket change for the Kerry's

[EGPWS]

Yep .. that's just pocket change for the Kerry's

I just wonder if that would be the case for both of them there Kerry's if a divorce was to happen along.

[Notwithstanding]

Records also show that Teresa owns a British Landrover SUV.

[Notwithstanding]

Maybe the little people are starting to catch on.

Perhaps the down-right jealousy of the stooges in the "mainstream" press will keep this issue bubbling.

"We have some SUVs. We have a Jeep. We have a couple of Chrysler minivans. We have a PT Cruiser up in Boston. I have an old Dodge 600 that I keep in the Senate . . . We also have a Chevy, a big Suburban." "

Ah yes. Just one of the people. Everybody I know owns at least 8 cars.

[MozartLover]

"Kerry reluctantly admitted, on Earth Day, that his family owns a gas-guzzling Chevrolet Suburban SUV but blamed it on his wife, saying: "The family has it. I don't have it." "

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm glad I'm married to a guy who considers himself part of the famly..............

I hope our country wakes up before it is too late and see the triple tongue Kerry speaks with everyday. Someone please tell himt to just take a stand and stick to it. Don't change because the polls say you should. How about that SUV?

[jocon307]

"That would what 6/7 cars his wife owns?"

Yeah, for just the two of them! We have SUVS! Plural? what is with these people? At most they should have 3 cars, hers, his, and one for DC.

Oh, but I forgot, some cars must be stocked at each homestead.

He's nothing better than a limousine liberal, 21st century style.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I heard somewhere last fall one reporter said that Kerry does fly in the private jet his wife owns. Gulfstream 4 I believe.

[I still care]

Everytime I read these articles I think of my liberal, extremely environmentalist sister, who really ISN"T a hypocrite - but last year, she bought a Honda CR-V.

The conversation went as follows:

"So I heard you bought a new car? Great! What kind is it?"

"A Honda CR-V"

"Oh, how nice. Isn't that an SUV?"

Dead silence.

"Not really. Well, maybe just a small one."

LOL

[StAnDeliver]

"Next week, he's launching a "jobs tour" that will take him through the industrial heartland, home to many autoworkers."

As usual, the real story is buried in the fourth paragraph (always the fourth paragraph). Kerry's handlers have apparently told him he has to defend Michigan by spending time there...that tells you everything you need to know about how badly their campaign is going. Michigan should have been a slam-dunk for Lurch.

As for the rest of the story, it's possible to be too wealthy when running for office...people continually question whether you're really serious or not (Perot, Trump, et al).

[meenie]

Kerry suffers from the same malady that most who marry for money have. Taking into consideration the embarassment and inconsideration connected with the wealth, they really do earn it.

[OldFriend]

And notice the slur......he keeps an old car in the senate......meaning D.C.

[OldFriend]

By defending Michigan he slams the auto workers in every other state.

[freekitty]

Kerry is full of it. Anyone doubting that George W. is not a good leader should read "An Autumn of War" by Victor Hansen.

[snooker]

A lot of earth day types don't subscribe to what they want us to do. Don't know who did this but it's a must see ...

[indubitably]

I watched the video. Is the narrator sure that is Kerry? He is walking without any security or supporters on an open street. Guess he doesn't have much of either.

[samtheman]

JFnK the environmentalist owns and SUV.

JFnK the protectionist owns an Audi.

No contradiction, really.

He can always say:

"I drove the SUV before I drove the Audi."

[Leisler]

8 cars at a minimum.
1 45 foot custom Hinkley yacht
1 Harley( until recently an Italian made Ducati )
1 Gulftsream V jet that can carry and burn over 3 tons of fuel
5-6 large estates throughout the country.

That's my kind of environmentalist.

[niteowl77]

"Oh, how nice. Isn't that an SUV?"
Dead silence.
"Not really. Well, maybe just a small one."

Hmmm... so size DOES matter.

Maybe I could get my sister to stop being so anti-gun if I bought her a Glock 26.

[Dr Snide]

hey he's got what five mansions to keep stocked with cars, so its barely over one vehicle per mansion.

If Kerry was smart he would have portrayed Ter Rah Za as a Republican all along (her first husband being a Republican Senator) so he could blame all of these things on her being an environment hating, corporate outsourcing traitor Republican. Although with Kerry he still may.

[BushCountry]

Actually, he will say, "I didn't own the Audi or SUV before I bought them!"

[bitt]

tell us more - where is THIS car located/registered?

[blau993]

Not to mention the Italian motorcycle that he owned for years and then just happened to trade in for a Harley right before entering the presidential race.

I'm too busy laughing at the notion of Effin' driving a PT Cruiser to respond to this post. Oh my sides!

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Ever since the Democrat Party was taken over by rats a generation ago their actions matter not, it's the intent of their feeeeeeeeeeeeelings that's reality. Liberalism is an emotional illness.

In the 1960s young southern California rats attended the burial of the most evil of all contraptions, the private auto; don't remember the count from the news article but hundreds showed up in the remote area to attend the funeral -- each mourner in his own private auto. It took hours to untangle the mess and get them on their way back to the city to celebrate their contribution to the cause of a clean environment. They've been the same ever since.

[proudpapa]

Is this the same Audi Quattro that was made in Wolfsburg, Germany? In the same auto factory that was designed by none other then Adolf Hitler?

( Yes Audi is owned by Volkeswagon.)

[randog]

John Kerry really doesn't belong in the position of running for President.

It all really boils down to that, doesn't it? George Will said of President-at-the-time Clinton, "Bill Clinton isn't the worst President, but he certainly is the worst man to be President". I think the same could be said of Querry--he's neck-and-neck with Dukakis as the worst dem presidential candidate.

Are they still using the Buick aluminum V-8 that GM sold them in 1963 ?

[Lucky2]

Every morning I read some new kerry contradiction. I only hope the rat voing public reads them also and thinks before they vote. This kerry is a fraud.

[Toespi]

The bottom line is this: John Kerry has lived a life of excess. He has never had to answer to the voters of Mass because they are used to voting for people of wealth and elitism. Kerry is and has been everything the Democrats rant about, actually he is a Republican if you use the liberal definition. Now he finds himself making excuses for his lifestyle, something he has never had to do.

Ford now owns my Volvo,tho I never felt guilty with 7 prior Volvos.

Notice also that the most liberal/socilaist SCOTUS Justices are the richest. Ironically the below passage comes from the World Socialist Web Site.

...Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the wealthiest, worth between $7.7 million and $33.7 million, excluding her home in Washington and some other holdings. She also has retirement accounts worth at least $4 million. Ginsburg has ranked as the richest justice in past years as well.

Stephen Breyer comes in second, reporting a net worth of between $4.2 million and $15.2 million. This estimate does not include Breyer’s home in the posh Georgetown neighborhood in the nation’s capital, although he did list rental property in the West Indies and real estate holdings in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Sandra Day O’Connor is worth $2.8 million to $6.4 million. She holds a long list of telecommunications and medical stocks and, like the other justices, often recuses herself from cases that might impact her portfolio. O’Connor is reportedly the most frequently absent for such conflicts of interest.

John Paul Stevens and David Souter are also millionaires, with Stevens worth $1.3 million to $2.7 million, and Souter worth $1 million to 5.1 million.

Chief Justice William Rehnquist is worth somewhere between $510,000 and $1.2 million, not counting his home. Antonin Scalia has a reported net worth of $500,000 to $1.3 million. Only Clarence Thomas and Anthony M. Kennedy came in well below $1 million—at least on paper. Thomas reported holdings of between $150,000 and $410,000, not counting his home in suburban northern Virginia. Kennedy reported cash holdings and life insurance worth $45,005 to $180,000. He has reportedly divested major assets over the past several years...

Hey John, buy "the family" one of these...

You, ah, er, "the family" will have LOTS of headroom...

You'all will sit about 3 FEET higher than puny SUV's next to you...

The wheels are fairly large, but note how puny they appear in the photo...
It takes TWO steps to climb up into the drivers seat...

Comes standard with a 40 gallon fuel tank, or an OPTIONAL 90 gallon tank.
