Nothing is ever simple when it comes to John Kerry.
The senator from Massachusetts and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, sent out 75,000 Christmas cards with pictures of trees at each season. The Kerrys gushed over their "gratitude for the beauty of these trees and the life they represent."
But it didn't end there.
The card came in an odd-looking envelope, one of those with a return-mail flap and instructions to send it to . . . well, to a recycling company, so "it can be made into new carpet tile."

We feel gratitude for the beauty of these trees and the life they represent. We cherish our friends and family and hope that 2007 for you is brimming with possibility, health and happiness. Lastly, we pray that Peace reigns in the hearts of all mankind." John (Kerry) & Teresa (Heinz)
