John Kerry served in Vietnam? I did not know that.

A John Kerry did if I recall, but my memory is a bit unreliable, around 04' it seems someone told me that a John Kerry did serve someone in Vietnam.

That would make Kerry liable for the sales tax.

Boats move around, they're kinda cool like that. Just appearing, or even being temporarily berthed on Nantucket (or elsewhere in Mass) wouldn't trigger the tax.

He said he had not yet taken final ownership of the boat because changes were still being made by the designer.

"Final ownership"? As opposed to the "non-final" kind?

“Kerry added that he did nothing legally wrong.”

Yeah, right. But he certainly wants “the rich” to pay their fair share, doesn’t he. (Except himself?)

IMHO

Never mind. I found a close of Newport on the sailboat.

“Kerry added that he did nothing legally wrong.”

Neither did Clinton, Rangel, or... what's his name?

They are above the laws that they lay down for everyone else.

Government by the people really isn't a political mantra pushed by the likes of Kerry, Clinton or Rangel.

We are just obligated to say that it's true by self promoting liaisons while we lose our freedoms personally drip by drip.

If you say so, but beaurocrats are stupid and follow their guidelines mindlessly or they could lose their cushy jobs.

There’s many a tax between boat and slip.

Tyranny has pushed its entire head into the tent, with impunity.

No, but I know a lot about yachts. And taxes.

The several pics I saw of Kerry’s boat at the Boat Basin showed Isabel at a transient pier.

I swear to God this clown is the gift that keeps on giving. Howie Carr was just starting to get dull too (unless you like his “dog shows” and that TV guy - yawn).

I like how he said he was going to register his yacht in MA... yeah right, unfortunately for him “Newport” was painted on it.

John Kerry might be worth having as Senator for the comedy value alone.

I will never applaud hypocrisy. Now if Senator Kerry was constantly screaming against taxes, then I might forgive him. Same reason I don’t forgive Spitz for cavorting with whores, or, conversely, any of the anti-gay politicians who turn out to be gay themselves.

Hypocrisy has just never sat well with me.

whether owed or not

Typical hypocritical bullshit from a liberal who, like the kennedys, is not living by the rules he wants imposed on the rest of us--not only is Kerry NOT guilty of tax evasion, but he poses as if he should be praised for overpaying taxes he didn't pay.
