Nuance
From the Guardian (UK):Does John Kerry, who supports higher automobile fuel economy standards, own a gas-guzzling SUV? He does, but says it belongs to the family, not to him.
During a conference call Thursday with reporters to discuss his upcoming jobs tour through West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, the Democratic presidential candidate was asked whether he owned a Chevrolet Suburban.
``I don't own an SUV,'' said Kerry, who supports increasing existing fuel economy standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015 in order to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil supplies.
Kerry also has made rising gasoline prices an issue in the campaign against President Bush. In Houston on Thursday, Kerry said the president broke a 2000 campaign pledge to ``jawbone'' oil-producing nations by pressuring them to increase their output.
Kerry thought for a second when asked whether his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, had a Suburban at their Ketchum, Idaho, home. Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M. He said his wife owns the Chevrolet SUV.
Matt's Chat
Uh-huh... Followup questions, Mr. Kerry: Are you a part of your family? Are you the head of household? Just asking...Mark's Remarks
No, Matt, we know that Teresa wears the Pantsuits in the family....it is all HER money, John Kerry is "just a gigolo...."
Seriously, can this guy lie and nuance anymore? Disclosure records show he has a fleet of SUVs, that he has a huge yacht, and that he and Teresa own the biggest Gulfstream jet allowed...So I ask you, who in the Blue Heck are they to tell us about waste and pollution? Answer: they are nobody, just spineless hypocrites who want to deny you something they have so they can feel more privileged than they already are.
