John Kerry, Red Sox fan?

Baseball writer Peter Gammons passes along this tidbit on a recent radio interview for which John Kerry’s staff did not prepare him particularly well:

Thing called love
We have been led to cynically believe that many politicians are disingenuous and generally phony, but few will ever beat Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. This man, who changed his middle initial to be JFK and at an anti-Vietnam rally threw someone else’s medals into the water, made a self-promotion appearance with Boston talk-show maven Eddie Andelman and claimed he was a big Red Sox fan from his days growing up in Groton, Mass. And at the promotion he said Eddie Yost was his favorite player.
The problem with that is just the simple fact that Eddie Yost never played for the Red Sox.

  1. May God help us if John Kerry is elected president. The man is not fit to be dog catcher. He is a liar and not somebody who merely makes innocent human mistakes. What does Kerry stand for? Who knows, for he is running a stealth campaign. I think it very fair to assert that Kerry only supports positions if they advance his political career. He may not believe in much of anything. Many Democrats prefer to look the other way because of their hatred of George W. Bush. This less than noble attitude endangers us all.

  2. John Kerry missed 68% of the votes held in the US Senate and that was in 2003, this year he has missed 89% of votes cast in the Senate, these are documented by the Washington Post.

    I am a resident of Massachusetts and have been disappointed in his service to this state as he has been a senator,his record makes him the most liberal Senator,
    “WASHINGTON (Talon News) — In a revealing political ideology survey released by the National Journal on Friday, Democratic presidential front-runner Sen. John F. Kerry (D-MA) was ranked as the most liberal member of the United States Senate in 2003.”
    Please do your homework before November and you will see that John Kerry is not the answer.
