If John Kerry was my dad, I’d be drinking too.
If John Freakin’ Kerry would have been arrested for DUI, I could maybe chortle some.
As for his daughter, so what?
What’s $5000? Case over.

Ha! That’s the dang truth! But hopefully not driving~

If her Dad was a Republican it would be huge news at MSNBC and LGF.
I’ll drink to that
Why don’t these rich papmpered assh*les hire a driver or get a cab if they’re going to be drinking.They should do time just for being too stupid to create a carbon footprint.
And Al Gore’s son did pot, and so on. I personally think this is a non-story. It doesn’t reflect on Kerry or negate his politics any more than a Bush daughter DUI or the Palin daughter pregnancy. Kerry is a scumbag because he lied before Congress about American troops and because he met with enemies of the United States while wearing the uniform of his country, not because his adult child does something.

Wrath,
I thought the media should have laid off that one too. Maybe, just maybe, since the Bush daughters were 19 at the time you could argue that they were still kids and use that to tarnish Bush’s parenting abilities.
But for goodness sakes, Kerry’s daugther is whet 36? I don’t think this reflects on Kerry at all.
YMMV

Excuse me, but what happened to my post about Graham and Holder?
@ Aladin Sane:
Who said anything about this being about John Kerry?
When I put it up I was thinking about the MSM. It will be interesting to see how they handle this in light of the way they tared-and-feathered the Bush girls for their personal flaws.
Who among us has not done this exact same thing? I hardly call .06 drunk. That is, maybe, no more than 2 drinks.

I put it into “Draft” to be put up later because it was posted nearly 1 minute after this one went up.
The Admins (and some Netizens) have discussed the problem with that sort of thing and we decided IIRC that we should wait a minimum between threads to allow those already posted to have time to be discussed.
If I am incorrect in our Administrative understanding, then please let me know.

Oh, my mistake.
Yes, you’re right. The media will handle it differently since it’s John Kerry’s daughter.
/Did you know he served in Viet-Nam?
I’m sure she was merely groggy from her swine flu shot:
“Oh, I’m under the influenza, love, and I know there’s no doubt about it
I’m under the influenza, love, and you know, I just can’t live without it…”

If she was 17 and living at home with her parents then it would be a story.
As it is she is 36. That saying “sins of the fathers” or whatever comes to mind.

I think you need to settle down a bit. I am not trying to “take over the site” nor do anything that wasn’t agreed upon by all Admins. If you have a grudge, take issue with the policy and bring it up to the Admins as a whole. I’m simply following the agreed upon rules. You know as well as anyone that I am just enforcing the rules we have all agreed upon. I know very well that I am just one of many Admins, and have to follow the rules we all agree upon, just like you do. As Admins, we’re equal here my friend.
As to the “more important” aspect of your comment, yes, you are correct. It surely is more important. I look forward to commenting on it when it is posted per Admin/Blogmocracy policy.
The step was not personal, I can assure you. Please do not take it that way. Ask any other Admin. This problem occurs a lot actually, and people’s threads are put into “draft” when posted right after another all the time.

It would only matter if she wants to follow her father into politics. Even then, fo r a Democrat it is hardly the kiss of death. It’s not like she took a long drive off a short pier. Mary Joe Kopechne couldn’t contribute to this story…
Just curious but why is her middle name Forbes? Isn’t her mom’s maiden name the name to use, not John Kerry’s mother’s maiden name? That’s how it was done in my family.
@ Possum:
Wow….just like her dad…. unbalanced and equine.

You mean she has done the boob show more than that one time? I assumed it was a mistake due to the large amount of camera flashes. I never imagined it was on purpose.

Okay, now that bugs me. A “private matter” when it suits them, but she didn’t hesitate to use the “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” defense. Even if she’s as innocent as a newborn babe, don’t name drop, hon.
Been there, didn’t name drop, got the speeding ticket. And I deserved it.
I concur with Aladin, here. Sorry that I can’t think of anything glib to write.

Go away from him all of you, for he will drag you down more amd more as time goes on.
Just say no more to the lies.

@ Canoe Convoy:
She needs to buy a sheepdog bra.
One thing that really used to bother me about Bush Derangement Syndrome was the way lefties constantly called Bush a “drunk.” I can see an occasional sneer about his past, but I should think even a lefty might give him credit for overcoming a drinking problem and not talk as if he was still swilling the booze.

Yes, when reading the “its a private matter” of their response, and the “so what does this have to do with John Kerry” excuses here, I was really just waiting for the moment that she used her father’s Government position to get herself out of this.
I wasn’t always a good person, and did some dirt and drinking around Los Angeles. I am sure she will be getting much better treatment than I would have from the cops. The U.S. isn’t supposed to work that way!
I remember when I worked in a nightclub in a well to do area we used to have guys getting drunk and out control, when asked to leave the establishment they would yell “Do you know who my daddy is? He owns half this town” In which we would say “he doesn’t own this half” and then we would 86 them.
Invoking mommy or daddy is for people who never grow up.

Growing up in Chicago the key was always what pol that you or your family knew.
Knowing the Alderman, Committee man or most especially Daley could make any problem go away.
Another breaking news that’ll scare the bejeesus out of the global warming mongers if it’s true. The Hadley Climate Research Unit, which is part of/attached to the Met Office here in the UK, has been hacked and thousands of e-mails and files have been released, wherein top climate scientists casually discuss faking data, obfuscating results and ponder destroying their real data in order to prevent skeptics getting hold of it.
IF it’s true it’s a bombshell. The sheer amount of data makes it hard to think it’s anything but true but it will have to be confirmed. Hadley have already circulated an e-mail warning about the hack so it seems likely it will be proven true. This just might be the end of the AGW hoax.
@ Beltfed:
LOL a lot of people have that problem, as soon as they start drinking they breakout in handcuffs.
@ davehm:
La Jolla is quite nice.
I’ve been thrown out of a bar…on the way out “do you know who my daddy is” wasn’t quite my response.

This is some seriously serious shiite, but it’s going to develop and build over time. Several people have invoked the Watergate analogy. I think we’re going to have hearings in the Senate, and probably the House of Lords in the UK. I don’t know if Reid can stop Inhofe from holding hearings, but if he tries, there will be hell to pay.
Sit tight. This is going to start blowing pretty hard.
