I read a story one time about how Kerry would show up at St. Patrick’s Day dinners celebrating Irishness and would brag about how proud he was to be Irish. The reality is he ain’t Irish and the family name ain’t Kerry - its Knoblach, his father was from Czechoslovakia changed the family name to Kerry bc he believed that being considered Irish would be a real benefit, and married a wealthy heiress of the WASP Forbes family. There isn’t a drop of Irish blood in John “Kerry”, but there’s a lot of phoniness and utter bs, braggadocio.
