I've got to say - the more I read like this, the more sympathetic the guy becomes: Kerry is like some character in a Balzac novel, an adventurer twirling the end of his mustache and preying on rich women. This low-born poseur with his threadbare pseudo-Brahmin family bought a political career with one rich woman's money, dumped her, and made off with another heiress to enable him to run for president. If Democrats want to talk about middle-class tax cuts, couldn't they nominate someone who hasn't been a poodle to rich women for past 33 years? Read: Manly men don't need help from women. And rich women should know better than to marry beneath their class. At least Ann never claimed to be a "compassionate conservative."
