............cops closed off intersections, others on motorbikes blasted their horns at Sunday cyclists, joggers, senior citizens and mothers pushing baby strollers to get them off the road. Many sniffed at the motorcade, which included 16 motorcycles and a dozen vehicles with sirens blaring, telling Diary: "Who does this guy think he is, the president?" Others branded the procession "ridiculous" and swore Kerry had just lost their vote. "I was thinking of voting for John Kerry, but after this, no way," sniffed one.

Gosh, and here I thought all Dumbocrats were so "tolerant and compassionate." (/sarc)

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.

That's a pretty dopey comment -- the show was set in current times, and she was able to afford $500 Manolos on a weekly newspaper columnist's salary. Sounds like times are pretty good, if that show is an indication!

Kerry's the last guy the terrorist want to go after. They want him elected.

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

Don't laugh. She may have a bright career ahead of her, speaking to tens of dozens daily on Air America.

Outside, Jimmy Buffett performed for the waiting crowd, which was awash in tequila.

I've never heard TerAYza described as being "a waiting crowd" before this.

Huh. Live and learn, I s'pose. :)

They seem to be hanging out with a lot of the well-to-do for a party that is supposed to be the champion of the "common man". In Britain, we call this set "the chattering classes"...partially because if they shut up for 5 minutes, they'd realise what crap they're spouting.

Thanks, I prefer the mesquite cutting cowboy from Crawford.

I was in a mall yesterday. There was a lot of shopping going on. Kerry should get out more. He'd find out people are buying shoes that cost a whole lot more than $15... and they're buying a whole lot more than just shoes.

For one thing, housing starts are at an all-time high.

Compare NY Post to the NY Times. I'd say the Post has better journalism.

EAST HAMPTON, N.Y., Aug. 21 - Talk about soaking the rich.

The Democratic presidential nominee, John Kerry, breezed through the Hamptons this weekend to attend private fund-raisers and siphon a couple of million dollars from the wealthy, left-leaning East End of Long Island. But the real story here was the rain.

A driving downpour on Saturday night put Mr. Kerry's arrival and appearances behind schedule. Campaign workers held umbrellas for donors getting out of their cars. Hair frizzled and mascara ran. Montauk Highway became a pond.

At a tent party for 800 guests (minimum entry fee: $1,000) at the home of the venture capitalist Alan Patricof, women lost their high heels to the mud while a trumpet player resembling Ernest Borgnine led the band in "When You're Smiling." Dozens of people with dirty feet left early.

"I had $200 designer shoes that stayed in the car," said Grace Williams, a New Jersey resident who spent the weekend in Montauk. "I'm not ruining them."

A spokeswoman for Mr. Kerry's campaign said he raised at least $2.5 million in the campaign's daylong, four-party tour of the Hamptons.

Other Democratic politicians have staged lavish, celebrity-rich fund-raisers here, and this weekend's guest lists were no exception. They included the model Christie Brinkley; the actress Candice Bergen; James Lipton, host of "Inside the Actor's Studio"; and the hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons.

What set Mr. Kerry's visit apart, said Robert Zimmerman, a national Democratic committeeman, was the support.

"There has never been a Democratic candidate who produced the level of excitement that John Kerry did," Mr. Zimmerman said. "It was the strongest I have ever seen."

After flying into Westhampton on Saturday, Mr. Kerry attended the tent party, where he delivered a campaign speech and played guitar as Jimmy Buffett sang "Brown-Eyed Girl." Then he was off to a $25,000-per-person dinner at the home of Darren Star, creator of "Sex and the City."

At a restaurant down the road, Mr. Kerry's daughter Vanessa and stepson Chris Heinz spoke at a $2,500-per-person fund-raiser.

Yesterday morning, the skies had cleared, and Mr. Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, was the host of a 35-person lunch at the East Hampton home of the fashion designer Donna Karan.

After the festivities, Mr. Kerry and his entourage drove to Gabreski Airport in Westhampton for the flight to Boston. One East End farmer, anticipating Mr. Kerry's route, propped a sign on an old pickup truck bidding farewell. It read, "Kerry Go Home."

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

What was that about worrying about the 'little people' and their inability to purchase 15 dollar shoes? Just remember SENATOR, not to run over any of those 'little people' with their ten dollar shoes on your way to $25,000-per-person dinners with Hollywood.

Maybe off topic, but the democrats just reek of insincerity. The last few days I had been hearing over and over the phrase 'little people'; by dem media shills, by DUers, other various assorted leftists on the Internet. It must have been thrown out there as a test, because before you knew it, it had been changed to 'average American', which Kerry has been using the last couple of days. 'Little people' must not have tested well, so they changed it before handing it to Kerry. I'm surprised they didn't just go ahead and copy the rest of O Brother and trot out a midget with a broom.

"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."

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

Good group... you got a porn producer, a dirtbag Senator, a has been actor, and a syndicated radio chief who's been fined over and over for putting garbage on the air. These are the people who support Kerry.

"I was thinking of voting for John Kerry, but after this, no way," sniffed one.

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.

Jimmy Buffet...Hmmm, didn't Jimmy Buffet perform at some crooked exec's infamous birthday bash, the party where they had champagne coming out of a statue's, ahem...well, you know. That party for Dennis What's-His-Name. If so, smooth move by the Kerry campaign.

Thankfully, no pics of the has-beens and never-weres (wases?).

Play [polo, of course] lasted about 20 minutes before the heavens opened, sending the luxury-loving crowd diving for cover under the VIP tent — and then found themselves surrounded by a quagmire of sticky mud.

*chortle*

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."

LOL!!! A typical Democrat freak show with Teresa giving a demonstration of what a pompous wind bag she is. She must have been over/under medicated.... your guess is as good as mine.

"clear the way for Kerry, who was heading for breakfast with Steven Spielberg on Georgica Pond."

No doubt to discuss making another John "MAJOR HERO" sKerry movie to counter the Swifties.

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.

If Kerry starts describing his candicay as "off the hook, yo", you know where it all started.
