The Boston ‘Me’ Party
**Written by Doug Powers
John Kerry is throwing a self-congratulatory party/campaign fundraiser (not necessarily in that order) at Boston Symphony Hall, and the Massachusetts Senator requests the honour of your presents.
I’ll go ahead and take a wild guess that one of the traits celebrated on the evening of December 13th will be Kerry’s unshakable humility:
Kerry isn’t up for re-election for four years, but it’s never too early to raise some cash and pat himself on the back for nothing more than being the closest thing to a Kennedy remaining in the US Congress:
The state’s senior senator — recently ranked the nation’s richest with $2.7 million in his campaign coffers and an estimated net worth of $239 million — is asking fellow Democrats to open their wallets yet again after they dug deep during a hard-fought election year. His extravaganza at the Boston Symphony — where tickets range from $75 to $4,800 — could be a tough sell as the party’s rank-and-file struggles through another Christmas in a tough economy.
“For Democrats, there’s a bit of fatigue — people have been giving aggressively,” said Democratic consultant Scott M. Ferson, president of the Liberty Square Group. “But we need John Kerry now more than ever. He’s one of the few (Massachusetts) Democrats left in a leadership position.”
Kerry put up $85,000 in campaign cash to rent the 2,000-seat Boston Symphony, where Boston Pops maestro Keith Lockhart, singer James Taylor and actor-director Ben Affleck are expected to appear.
In the lobby lot after the party, Thurston and Lovey will be holding a gin-soaked raisin bake sale, with proceeds benefitting the Kerry/Heinz Fund for unfairly persecuted luxury tax avoiders.

Maybe the rank-and-file wouldn’t have it so tough if Jon eFing Cary paid his taxes.
Easy Jawn, don’t break your arm
So Thurston is playing the pimp selling his gin-soaked raisin?
So, who will play Kerry in the movie?
Fred Gwynne and Ted Cassidy are both dead.
What about Richard Kiel?
He may be the richest now, but he could go to being the poorest if he forgets to kiss Terehza’s ….. ring and she kicks him out. How quick they forget that they’re living on Republican money.
He’s getting ready to callenge Obamao
I think Heir Kerry has it backwards. He hasnt served the public, rather the public has been servicing him for 45 years. Why else would he (or any of these Congressional parasitic lifers) still be there?
Term limits now!
It’s bad enough we have to listen to the annointed one’s boring rhetoric, but Lurch would flat out put me to sleep.
I suppose he’ll be having some Iraq war veterans he has graciously championed as guests of honor. Maybe he’ll get some medals along with the donations that he can ceremoniously throw over the White House fence as a commemoration of his undying gratitude to liberal donors and his beloved country.
He needs to spend his own money, for pete’s sake. He just bought a 4 million dollar boat! Oh, maybe he spent all of his allowance already. Maybe he’ll go away.
Ole Shrapnel Ass, a legend in his own mind.
Not likely. Mr. Kiel, best known as “Jaws” in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, is actually a Christian Conservative Republican.
What about French actor Jean Reno?
Another of the narcissistic SOB throwing a party for himself, but it is paid for by his campaign funds. This guy is loaded and still will not pay for anything out of his own pocket. I’ll bet next, he will try to pay his boat tax with campaign cash. It’s a proven fact that liberalism is a mental disease, and this clown should be in a loony bin.
What a git!
$239million????
I seem to remember reading years ago, soon after John Heinz had died, and Kerry married Heinz’s widow, that she, the widow, had inherited a fortune of $750million from Heinz.
So…
1) Do Lurch/Thurston and Lovey have separate, not joint, accounts?; or
2) Has $500million+ been spent?; or
3) Has Lurch been allowed only 1/3 of the estate/inheritance for an allowance/spending money ?; or
4) Are the rich – big surprise – hiding – er, “sheltering” – a big chunk of change so that it cannot be taxed/confiscated to oblivion, as happens to us poor, common, actually working and producing slobs?
I’m not surprised that the libtard Ben A&&flex is a part of this, but I didn’t know that James Taylor supports the drivel being spewed from Kerry’s piehole. Now I’m bummed because I have to cross another talented musician off my list of people to listen to. I’m not going to buy records from someone who is using their fame to support this idiot.
“Winter Soldier Investigation.” 1971
Almost 40 years now of hating and loathing that snake in the grass, traitor to his fellows, barer of false witness and Phony Hero. Shame on the people of Massachusetts; they gave us his vermin and keep electing him. I certainly served with better men.
My Division did have Oliver Stone-2nd Platoon of Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th infantry, later a Long Range Reconnaissance Platoon-LRRP. From what I understand he did serve well and then come back to slander us.
Hell Fire awaits the likes of these. I pray for the day of reckoning.
Does he get to perform the event’s theme song himself? (“The Wonder of
YouMe”)“The Wonder of Me”
so that’s what is meant when these elitist bastards steal, connive, and manipulate the system to their benefit…service, uh.
I believe he’s also doing “I’ve Got Rice Under My Skin”
I’ve got rice under my skin
I’ve got rice deep in the butt of me
So deep in my butt that it’s really a part of me
I’ve got rice under my skin.
It was stupid to elect Kerry in the first place. It gets more stupid with every election that returns him to DC. Let this next cycle be the one which votes him out.
I avoid Heinz 57 products whenever possible. I will not support that lyin’ coward in any way, shape, or form.
We actually like the grocery store’s house brands on most if not all of what Heinz makes. Try the chili sauce from King Soopers! Delicious.
He’ll never show his humility in an airport scanner, but he does own a huge chunk of a scanner company putting out the machines that scan us. It pays to be in the “circle of trust.”
Oh how funny would it be if the “John Kerry Come & Love Me, Everyone Else Does” celebration ended like the Nazi propaganda film in Inglourious Basterds?
How appropriate is it that the venue for this party is the very same place where his most famous “Don’t you know who I am?!?!” incident took place a few years ago? Is his all-time favorite Red Sox player Eddie Yost going to get an invitation too?
John Kerry’s Tax Hypocrisy.
That was from 2004. Does anyone know if there’s any updated information on this (besides l’affaire Isabel)?
Massachusetts had a chance to vote out Barney Frank, didn’t happen. Kerry’s evil but not Barney Frank evil. In other words don’t hold your breath. I’ll do my best here in MA. but, I’m surrounded by idiots!
That brings back memories of my childhood. I played Little League with an Eddy Yost model baseball glove. I had that thing for years. I don’t what happened to it,I wish I still had it, even though it was a fugly looking glove. It looked like it had two thumbs.
When I think back to Little League, I think back to my Albie Pearson glove and I know exactly what happened to it. The fingers and laces were so chewed up from my first two seasons in right field where I did little else than chew my glove while constantly distracted by something or other that I threw it away.
I notice Thurston and Lovey didn’t sign onto that Patriotic Millionaires “please raise our taxes” request…
What is the biggest Kerry lie of them all? His lies range from the harmless (claiming that he ran a Boston Marathon but could not recall the year he ran or his exact time. How convenient. If Kerry actually gave us the year he ran in the Boston Marathon, then we could easily look up the record book from that year. Most likely, Kerry would not be found. Then he says he does not recall his time. Yeah, right. If you ran one Boston Marathon in your life, you would know exactly what your time was. Notice also that Kerry has no video or photos of his Boston Marathon experience. This from a guy who brought his camera to VietNam already thinking of his political career. I still would vote for his magical mystery tour to Cambodia. He said we joined with the Khmer Rouge for a mission and the Khmer Rouge gave him a hat and he still has the hat. Ok, Jawn, show us the hat! Of course he won’t. The Khmer Rouge was a bitter and implacable enemy of the US in SE Asia. The idea that Kerry was in a secret joint mission with the Khmer Rouge is laughable. As is his claim that his unit was assigned to patrol in Cambodia on Christmas,1968. Funny, nobody in his unit will state under oath that the unit was in Cambodia. Them Kerry said he turned on his radio on Christmas Day 1968 to hear President Nixon say that there were not American soldiers in Cambodia. This is even more absurd since Nixon was not President until Jan. 20, 1969. The actual president, Johnson, did not address the nation on Christmas Day, 1968. Exposingthe Kerry lies is getting kind of fun.
Use this link for the truth regarding Kerry’s Vietnam service:
http://www.swiftvets.com/index.phpervice
He is hated among the majority of Vietnam vets. He is a more than a typical Democrat as he lies better than B.S. Clinton.
One other thing…according to the Constitution (yeah, remember that important document?) Kerry is not eligible to hold public office due to his conduct with the Winter Soldier hearings (aiding and abetting the enemy during a time of war). Look it up. I’ll try to find the link.
