At right is his family's house in the Brittany resort town of St.-Briac-sur-Mer, where he spent summers as a child, providing a glimpse of a grander life than he had known back home.

The Heinz-Kerry properties include two vacation homes, with this one, second left, just outside Nantucket, Mass. It was the site of the couple’s wedding in May 1995.

Villagers still speak in awed tones about his grandmother, who was known for her generosity and her regal horseback rides along the hilltops.

OMFG

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Bump.

"Wealth of Others Helped to Shape Kerry's Life"

A more honest title would be "Our First Welfare-Recipient Presidential Candidate"

[ArmyBratCutie]

yep, his whole life hes been a p*ssy whipped, elitest snob, of the worst kind, the kind with no money...
pathetic excuse for a man, ie wussy.......

[Darkwolf377]

Mr. Kerry and his wife are also cursed with the kind of good taste that suggests old money.

Written as only an asskissing liberal snob could.

[briant]

If Mr. Kerry is elected, he and his wife will be the richest couple ever to live in the White House, said Kevin Phillips, a political commentator and the author of "Wealth and Democracy.''

The word "would" fits so much better there. Must be nice being the most successful gigolo in American history and all.

"The couple have an 18th-century town house in Boston where the kitchen is two stories high. "

The only room in the house where his head fits.

Something is up when the New York Times writes something like this. I wonder if they can see how weak he is, and are considering sinking his ship?

[Wneighbor]

In college, he worked for two summers loading trucks at a Massachusetts warehouse to earn pocket money.

Just dang! That sounds like he had go work for 2 summers!

[Piranha]

Later, the guests danced to a band called - inauspiciously, perhaps - the French Millionaires.

Wouldn't this article be a logical place to call for the disclosure of his wife's tax returns?

Also, I notice that despite the description of his sports prowess, there is no mention of Kerry's apparently bogus claims to have run in the Boston Marathon in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

I think instead the NY Times is trying to get the information out in as harmless a way as it can. As I noted above, they didn't call for the release of Momma T's tax returns, which is the logical conclusion to reach.

LOL!

Ordinarily yes, but Bush is the fortunate son, not this fortunate gigolo.

Well, he was probably low crawling on his belly, hunting for deer with a side by side, double barrel shotgun worth almost 5 figures.

[Nathan Zachary]

Never worked for any of it. Le snob.

And wierd, is his "music" on his boat. I guesss thats where he spends his time to dream up his pretend "Vietnam war hero" stories, and sears, SEARS them into his memory.

[McGavin999]

Mr. Kerry and his wife are also cursed with the kind of good taste that suggests old money.

Yes, and isn't it funny that none of that old money belongs to either one of them? All that old money came from her first husband.

[Darkwolf377]

All that old money came from her first husband.

The first election in history funded entirely by Republicans. :P John Heinz is probably running around the afterlife trying to make any kind of deal so he can come back and take his money away from those two.

[ArmyBratCutie]
