***...In all, taking into account losses from investments, Kerry reported a total 2003 income of $395,338. His total federal tax bill was $90,575. He had $27,277 of that withheld from his paychecks and paid the rest, $63,298, with his tax return.
Kerry reported giving $43,735, or about 11 percent of his total income, to charity. That significant level of giving stands in contrast to his record in the 1990s, in which the issue of the senator's charitable contributions was a source of controversy. In 1995, Kerry reportedly had a taxable income of $126,179, and made charitable contributions of $0. In 1994, he gave $2,039 to charity. In 1993, the figure was $175. In 1992, it was $820, and in 1991, it was $0....***

Sorry, my uniform is at the dry cleaners.
Brilliant!
It would be so much fun to kick the crap out of one of them.
This sounds like an opportune time for the Swifties to get back into gear, and nip this sham of a campaign in the bud.
John Effin will not find every venue as accepting of his crap-smearing as the friendly confines of Brown, but he will pick and choose carefully, knowing full well that the media whores will report his every utterance as earth-shaking policy statements.
This has got to be the biggest goofball ever to grace a stage, yet he will be treated as a serious candidate by the wackos. The common thread among the terminally stupid is to oppose and hate George W. Bush, and they will accelerate the hatefest from now until '08.
Sickening.
I spent some time looking for Kerry's vote on levee spending, or barring that, some of his votes on environmental matters with Mississippi Delta wetlands environmental fiasco funding in mind.
No luck. I hope someone with better skills than I can find it.
If he would have mentioned this, he might have won in '04!
Say...doesn't he look French??
True and absolutely true. This guy has parted moorings and drifted out to sea. Nobody is at the helm.
Nautical ping!
I can't believe the widow Heinz is looking forward to Kerry's being the party's choice again. She did say she'd never go through that again. Maybe he's hoping for a split convention between the Dean and Hillary. I don't think he'd settle for the V.P. slot, but who knows. He does seem desperate for attention. He's such a dope.
> Please, Please, Please let him run in 2008 with Hilary and Al Gore.
Word. How pathetic can a human being get?? It would be like shooting fish in a barrel.
Good phrase! I wanted to say he was "so 20th century," but he was NEVER that to begin with.
In other words people should vote only in the most selfish possible way. Me Me Me
Kerry better not be standing at the bottom of the firepole when Hillary hears the call:
Progressives/Liberals feel superior (anointed), because they can say they 'care' about the 'little' people, and that's enough. They feel absolutely no need to actually get their hands dirty, and God forbid blacks ever get vouchers and access to the same elite private schools their kids attend. Naturally, Progressives/Liberals expect someone else (us), to pay for their self gratification. They're crazy.
What a maroon.
So much so that I don't think GWB has a chance in '08.
Should we tell them that he's not running?
Naaaaahhh..
