John and Elizabeth Edwards Celebrate Anniversary at Wendy's--Joined by the Kerrys (pics)
Washington Post ^

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.

Check out his nails in this shot (if you can stop staring at his eye). Scary!

I wonder what George Stephanie ordered. The veggie burger delight? and a glass of soy milk.

Tom Brokaw? What the unbiased journalist. "Here, Elizabeth, you can have the rest of my fries if you give me an exclusive."

To me, the guy with the blue shirt and balding head is probably thinking "I wish these people would get the f*** out of here so I can eat my lunch in peace".

It says in the article that the town is heavily Republican.

Today is our 27th anniversary. Hubby arranged for the hobbit lass to stay with friends. He told me to dress casual but nice for dinner.

If he takes me to Wendy's and mugs for the press, I will divorce him.

"Ahh, you've never known the love of a baker. Too bad for you."

No, not too bad for me. I make a point to look at the positive side. Just think of the potential weight gain I missed with all those pastries tempting me. I need a donut like I need another hole in my head. :D

Maybe I was wrong. I guess they just been talking about how the celebrate at Wendys for a week or more, so all the small people would know.

But the long finger nails are only long on one hand. Whats up with that?

Well, he does play classical guitar so generally your left hand fingernails would be trimmed close for fretting and your right hand fingernails would be longer for picking your strings.

Any ex-GI who paid attention-knows darn well, that you do not salute in civilian clothes. We make exception for the Commander-in-Chief.

That salute was an insult to every member of the Uniformed Services.

There we go. Looks like both women have thunder thighs. And both can afford to zap it off if they wanted to.
