HAMPTONS DIARY (heckler's shut Terayza up at Kerry's fund-raiser)
NY POST ^ | August 23, 2004 | Bridget Harrison, Doug Kuntz, Thomas Hinton and Dan Kadison

Posted on 08/23/2004 2:03:51 AM PDT by Liz

Hundreds of well- heeled guests found themselves traipsing through mud to get to John Kerry's $1,000-a-head fund-raiser at the home of venture capitalist Alan Patricof Saturday night, after the event was turned into a political Woodstock by bucketing rain.

Former model Christie Brinkley was overheard joking that the mud was a result of Republican campaign tactics.

Meanwhile, first to collar the delayed presidential hopeful when he finally showed up was hip-hop mogul turned politico Russell Simmons, who pulled Kerry aside for a stern tete-à-tete on how better to relate to the voters. Outside, Jimmy Buffett performed for the waiting crowd, which was awash in tequila.

But the buzz was almost amid by Teresa Heinz Kerry's long-winded introduction, which finaly ended soon after one heckler told her to sit down.

Later, the Kerrys headed to the East Hampton home of "Sex and the City" creator Darren Star, who co-hosted a $25,000-per-person dinner with furniture designer Mitchell Gold. It was attended by 250 guests including Sen. Chuck Schumer, actor Peter Boyle, Infinity Radio chief John Sykes and marketing exec Robert Zimmerman.

Kerry thanked Star, telling the crowd that in this economy, "Sex and the City's" fictional character of Carrie Bradshaw wouldn't even be able to afford a $15 pair of shoes.

The Hamptons may be Democrat country but John Kerry didn't make himself popular with all the locals this weekend. Well-to-do residents out for early morning bike rides and walks on Lily Pond Lane yesterday were incensed by the heavy-handed appearance of Secret Service, State Police, Suffolk Country police and East Hampton Village police, who all descended on the quiet street to clear the way for Kerry, who was heading for breakfast with Steven Spielberg on Georgica Pond.

"There has never been a Democratic candidate who produced the level of excitement that John Kerry did,"

Tell that to clintbilly.

Sounds like the mud wasn't a problem for them. I'll bet they just put on their loafers and floated right over it.

I'll bet that pig has more shoes in her closets than Imelda Marcos. I'll also bet she's paying for John boy's butler

Which one of her seven mansions scattered around the globe would you be referring to?

BTW: The Kerry's sold a $9 million mansion in Italy to none other than (actor) George Clooney to avoid the "appearance of" opulence while Kerry was running for President. (Don't wanna turn off the "working pukes," ya know).

All total, the Kerry's seven mansions are valued at over a measly, paltry $40 million dollars.

John Kerry - a man among gigolos - and a Democrat's perfect example of what it takes to be president.

I didn't quite disagree with with what you said...voters should have deeper convictions on which they base their votes...but first impressions can be quite damaging as well.

Sounds like a metaphor for Kerry's campaign.

There, that's better.

What happened was that Terayza felt "down" so she took an upper to be "on" for the doings, but she was so turned on (she was actually hanging from the ciling) so she took a downer to act normal, then she felt "down" again, so she took an upper, and then...........ROTFL.

Kerry probably had a "deer in the headlights" stare as he thought, "I hope this negro isn't going to mug me."


Don't worry. I'm sure Kerry will feel sorry for him and maybe hire him as his pool boy, chauffeur or golf caddy.

BTW, Brinkley is in the forefront of wanting to shut down the Indian Point Nuclear Power plant.

Wonder how she'll keep her tennis courts heated, her pool heated, her greenhouses temperature controlled.

Wonder how the little people will survive double their energy bills.

I don't think I've ever heard of a Republican $25K per plate dinner. But we are the party of the "rich".

Good Morning All-

Excellent posts by MrsEmmaPeel in response to the Hamptons bystander:
"...I was thinking of voting for John Kerry, but after this, no way," sniffed one (at John Kerry's security procession).

A shallow person like this really scares me -- he's going to base his decision on the future of the country, not on the issues, but on the fact that he was inconvenienced on a Sunday morning. Hey bud, there are a zillion good reasons not to vote for Kerry. Educate yourself and pick one.

*************************

MrsEmmaPeel, you're exactly correct. This so-called new Bush supporter that we're "tallying in our column" could switch back to Kerry in a heartbeat. If presidential Secret Service helicopters were to cause the cubes in his Long Island Iced Tea to rattle too loudly in his glass in advance of a visit by President Bush, he would feel inspired to flip-flop back to John Kerry.

We need New York voters with LOTS more conviction than this temporarily-delayed fitness walker.

Regards,

(This story sounds like something Thurston Howell III would have dreamed while on Gilligan's Island. "Oh, to be amongst the rich people again! You would not believe what a bore the little people are. They're just awful - back me up on this one, Lovey.")
And let me tell you about my 3 hour tour!!!! of Vietnam

Hi All-

Russell Simmons is probably among the top ten wealthiest people in the northeast, yet he "understands" the little people. While I would have to research his early life, things change when you're a billionaire for a couple of years...

You can get plain flip-flops for under $15. And Keds, when they're on sale. :-)
