Well "regular guy" John F. Kerry is taking a much needed vacation and break after several recent slip ups and his decline and free fall in the latest polling data. It seems that the "man of the people" the "regular guy" that he is, don't count the two (2) Billionaire widowed heiresses he has chased down and wedded, is taking a week of vacation at his 7 million dollar vacation home. Doesn't every one have one of these too, oh he did just sell his 19 million dollar Italian mansion to George Clooney in December. It's nice to be a "regular guy."
There was a interesting line or two from today's New York Times about the trip. The first one about his notorious foul mouth and language:
On his first full day off, though, Mr. Kerry awoke determined to hit the slopes of Mount Baldy.
The image-conscious candidate and his aides prevailed upon reporters and photographers to let him have a first run down the mountain solo, except for two agents and Marvin Nicholson, his omnipresent right-hand man.
His next trip down, a reporter and a camera crew were allowed to follow along on skis — just in time to see Mr. Kerry taken out by one of the Secret Service men, who had inadvertently moved into his path, sending him into the snow.
When asked about the mishap a moment later, he said sharply, "I don't fall down," then used an expletive to describe the agent who "knocked me over."
The second about his various meeting with phantom world leaders who throw their support behind his presidential bid:
"People of great fame and wealth can come here, and people don't invade their privacy," said one visitor, Larry Nast of Bellevue, Wash.
Still, Mr. Kerry could not entirely escape the hazards of the arena he had left behind. He had just sat down for a bite to eat on the crowded patio near the lift line when a waiting skier, John Norris, shouted: "Hey, John! What foreign leaders talked to you?"
Mr. Kerry beat a retreat back into the lodge, to an upstairs, out-of-the-way dining area where he would be sure to draw even less attention.
Live the dream for us all regular guy Johnny!
