Lt. Kerry's Lonley Hearts Club Band
The Boston Herald ^ | 09/16/07 | Howie Carr

If you thought Scaramouche was a pretentious name for Sen. John Forbes Kerry to give his 42-foot Nantucket gigolo boat, he’s gone and topped himself.

Liveshot has scuttled the name Scaramouche and rechristened it . . . Let It Be.

That’s right, the Beatles song. From Freddie Mercury to John Lennon. I’m telling you, you cannot make this stuff up.

Why “Let It Be?” My theory is the more appropriate Lennon-McCartney titles were taken: “Nowhere Man” and “I’m a Loser.” Not to mention “Fool on the Hill.”

This momentous nautical event happened last November, but apparently nobody noticed the official filing with the Coast Guard until now.

Actually, a caller to his radio show mentioned seeing Kerry tie up the "Let It Be" next to a tony pierside restaurant on Nantucket. Howie said he thought the name of the War Hero's lastest command was the "Scaramouche", but he'd look into it.

I was a little taken aback by Kerry's choice of the name Scaramouche, knowing it's connotation, especially in light of the Swiftboat allegations and the fact that he was basing his presidential campaign on his "War Record".

How about Bonnie Tyler’s “Lost in France”?

“Let It Be”

It’s actually a plea to the Swiftboaters and others who revealed some of the truth about his military service.
He just doesn’t want the hidden truth of his questionable discharge persued any further.

“Please, oh please, let it be.....”

Or “I used to fairy CIA guys to Cambodia”?

That would tie in nicely with “Fairy ‘cross the Merci” (say it with a French accent)

“Moreau (Ramon Novarro) is an illegitimate son of French nobility, a class threatened by a revolution partly caused by their own repression. Moreau becomes a fugitive from the Crown, a leader of the revolution, and the mortal enemy of arrogant Marquis de la Tour (Lewis Stone), who fancies Moreau’s sister by adoption, Aline (Alice Terry, wife of director Ingram).”

Sounds like Kerry’s life story. I have often said he looks just like the other Kennedy’s, the sons of John, Bobby, and Ted.

I wasn't laughing at the book (which I haven't read), but rather his identification with the hero, his French air, and the implication that dashed hopes are causing him to rename his boat.

He's the type of guy who, years ago, might have claimed he was the lost Dauphin, lol.

Isn’t it supposed to be bad luck to re-name a boat?

Yeah, I can’t understand why he didn’t choose that one.

I guess with two women’s fortunes to spend it is a very swift boat.
