............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)

"Sex and the City" creator Darren Star, who co-hosted a $25,000-per-person dinner with furniture designer Mitchell Gold.

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

[The Mayor]

Bump!

[twhitak]

Hundreds of well- heeled guests found themselves traipsing through mud...

Sounds like a metaphor for Kerry's campaign.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

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

Adolph Hitler was another politician that was very "chic" among the financial and media stars of his time -- the parallels between Adolph Hitler and John Kerry are much more numerous than those which try to portray GWB as Hitler:

o Kerry and Hitler were both "War Heros" with medals.
o Kerry and Hitler were heros in wars that their nation "lost".
o Kerry and Hitler were both "Wounded" in that war.
o Kerry and Hitler are both opportunists.
o Kerry and Hitler were dedicated to overthrow the existing order.
o Kerry and Hitler were both leaders of radical organizations willing to use violence to win.
o Kerry and Hitler used national dissatisfaction with the war they fought in to gain political prominence.
o Kerry and Hitler were adopted by the super-rich as a vehicule to take political control.
o Kerry and Hitler were both socialists.

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

I don't like his music and I don't like his politics. No lose here. Jim is just ticking of Republican ParottHeads.

[gathersnomoss]

Ah, yes hob-knobbing with the rich while voicing his concerns for the downtrodden. How quaint.

Wake up Kerry voters. He is just "feeling your pain".

[gathersnomoss]

"Who does this guy think he is, the president?"

Haven't you looked at his plane?

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.

Was Teh-RAY-zuh clicking small metal balls around in her hand while blabbering away about the key to the freezer lock where the strawberry ice cream was stored?
