Maisonneuve/Sipa
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
Bump.
A more honest title would be "Our First Welfare-Recipient Presidential Candidate"
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.......
Written as only an asskissing liberal snob could.
The word "would" fits so much better there. Must be nice being the most successful gigolo in American history and all.
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?
Just dang! That sounds like he had go work for 2 summers!
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.
The American Dream. Live rich and easy on other peoples work and money.
Gosh, no wonder he went to Wendy's with the Edwards. But wait, they had gourmet take-out after that photo-op.
As has been said before on FR, John Kerry is a man who lives off of other men's work; his first wife's father, and then a Republican senator's inherited wealth. HE'S A GIGOLO!
Growing up with 'rich' relatives - living a modest life in envy of family who provide summer vacations and schooling - no wonder he went through life making stuff up - telling lie on top of lie to get what he wanted.
I'd be willing to bet my 401k that the they have more than 6 on their personal staff. I'm sure every mansion has a caretaker and a maid; he has a butler, we know; I'm sure they have a cook, a couple of pilots, someone to look after the yachts, etc.

Forbes also made a considerable fortune smuggling opium during the Opium Wars. The British wanted to keep a monopoly on supplying the Chinese with opium grown in India. However, during the Opium Wars the British ships were prevented from delivering their cargoes of opium and American ship owners such as Forbes, who could sail the final miles, made great amounts of money delivering the cargoes for the British. Forbes family members later engaged in other merchant banking and railroad investment projects around the world.

Sen. Kerry's g. grandfather Forbes was a poppy botanist and opium dealer in the China trade during the Opium War, who wrote a book on Chinese plants.
Kerry was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy while he stalked Teresa Heinz down in DC. She was his last hope. DC gossip columns were full of his antics. Foolish woman that she is, she fell for his golddigging. No wonder he was never in the senate...he had to spend all his time crawling around on his hands and knees, convincing her he hadn't married her for her money.
...Mr. Kerry played on the beach and fished for octopus in the tidal pools. And it was here that the boy from Massachusetts glimpsed a much grander life....
Yeah, right... The suckers on the octopus taught him he must attatch himself like a barnicle to rich women.
Aw, poor, poor John Kerry.
