TOWN OF NEWBURGH, N.Y., July 31 -- John and Elizabeth Edwards celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary today, and they and this small upstate town will not soon forget it.
The John Kerry campaign pulled its 10-bus caravan up to Wendy's restaurant to accommodate the vice presidential couple, who had their first date at the fast-food restaurant and always dine there on their anniversary . This is not one they will soon forget because the celebration included John and Teresa Heinz Kerry, Tom Brokaw, George Stephanopoulos, and 100 members of the media.
"So you understand, this is our anniversary. We always celebrate our anniversary at Wendy's," Elizabeth Edwards told the clerk as she ordered her Classic Combo Single.
Ditto for her mate -- but he went with cheese. And John Kerry went for the Chili and chocolate frosty. The power couples certainly caused a stir -- but it was Ben Affleck who moved with a throng. A Democrat and friend of Kerry's, the movie actor said he joined the trip to learn about the political process and not always be around just for the glamorous work.

"See this, Teraizzzza? This is called a disposable cup. Inside of it is something called "soda." Don't ask me why they call it that.
Do I really have to eat that? John never said it would be like this!
Why do the Dimocrats always look half retarded and ugly?
Mr. Kerry doesn't look like he's ever held a soda cup before, but Mrs. Edwards does.
I can see where she got the nickname Big Blue.
What long fingernails Mr. Kerry has!
After Mrs. Edwards left Wendy's, management had to scramble to replenish the food supply...
Damn, didn't anyone teach him to trim his nails?
I would be so mad if I was eating there and they all dropped in.
"I voted FOR the chili before I voted AGAINST it"
Did they celebrate with BERGERS?
A ten bus caravan? Hey, he is a real man of the people.
I would SO get my ass kicked if I tried to celebrate an anniversary at Wendy's.
Oh my God, someone PLEASE tell him to trim his nails! Yikes!
With all of that "hand shaking" and "baby holding" to do, he's going to injure someone! Or worse yet, he could cause a nasty scratch to his buddy John during one of their many embraces! (sorry, I'm out of control)...
How cute. Just 4 ordinary people, having and ordinary meal at a ordinary fast food place. Where is my air sick bag?
Nah.......he's just out trying to score points with his future Father-in-law!
Yah know, that would tick me off if I was a diner there and this "flock" of sheeple came stomping in and took over the restaraunt whil I was trying to have a nice normal meal.
Ask Edwards's wife. I'm sure she'll find them crunchy and delightful.
He took her to Wendy's?
What a cheap date.
Someone put him behind the counter in his bunny suit.
That fairy Kerry looks to have had his fingernails manicured!!! What a pufta he is. Pompous pric*.
Yo, Registered! Cleanup at Wendys!
Do you suppose Teresa Miss Liberty Heinz asked for her meal to be SUPER sized in five different languages? Anyway, I have a hard time believing Mizz Thang would lower her discriminating continental taste buds for a fast burgar.
Ever wondered why Edwards has claw marks on his back?
Check out those "GIRLIE-MAN" fingernails
I hear he won't allow the secret service to speak to him or take pictures with him. Looks like the people sitting to his left got that order as well! Totally ignoring him! I love it! LOL!!
Didn't they celebrate the anniversary last week at Wendy's? What did dufus want him to do it over so he could be in the pictures this time.
Someone has to find out if Wendy's serves DEL MONTE ketchup!
Semper Fi
The better to take your money!
He's ugly, has long nails and holds that soda like he's got an Ethiopia Yergacheffe latte at Starbucks.
A caption for the one where he looks like he's praying--a pose we seem to see him in often:
Hello, God, this is me, John. Can I ask a favor? Can my loss next November be not overly humiliating for me? Thanks.
I was hoping for in the bunny suit while saluting at the convention podium.
No, Elizabeth, that's MY fries.
Well, now we know the Wendy's story :-).
D
"What long fingernails Mr. Kerry has!"
Since you posted it first I noticed that to. But the long finger nails are only long on one hand. Whats up with that?
My personal taste, I can't stand men with purchased service manicured finger nails. I know, I'm being nit picky but it's so unmanly to me. ewwww It shows me the man is too above picking up a tool in the garage or whatever. Soft plush hands on a man (lazy) grosses me out.
No kidding! And these restaurants likely aren't created to accomidate that kind of FIRE HAZARD crowd. Most that I've noticed, top out in the 70ish patron range.
Wendy's actually serves HEINZ ketchup.........
I know this because I brought home some Wendy's yesterday and I just saw the packet on the counter.......
If it's only in one hand, that means he plays guitar. I heard he likes to play Spanish guitar in his spare time
He may have earned the purple hearts with those nails.
Wendy's uses Heinz ketchup packets. I've been told that isn't what they use in the in-store pump although I'm not sure how accurate that is.
half?
"If it's only in one hand, that means he plays guitar. I heard he likes to play Spanish guitar in his spare time"
ahh so thats why. oookay. Still long finger nails on men - (((shudder))) yuck
Or caused them...
Do You KNOW Who I AM???
Heinz Kerry was told that Newburgh was heavily Republican and a local television reporter asked her how she felt "in the heart of enemy territory."
Watch out that Chili with Beans gives me GAS!! Now that is a WMD!!!
