The Silver State Chronicles

Senator John Kerry loves to party!

Looks like that guy from 2004 managed to sneak away from his old lady long enough to hang out with the kids and party it up! TMZ.com has more pics, but here are some choice ones…

The Boston Herald reports that the senator’s office insists that these pictures simply reveal ‘a chance encounter on a dock.’ This coming from the guy who defended his clumsy comments about US soldiers being stuck in Iraq because they didn’t do well in school by noting it was ‘a botched joke.’

Leave it to a liberal to try to talk his way out of a jam by reminding us that everyone knows he has no sense of humor.

Kerry’s office: Senator wasn’t partying with women
By Joe Dwinell | Tuesday, July 29, 2008

An embarrassing gallery of photos showing Bay State Sen. John Kerry surrounded by young women partying on Nantucket was a dockside encounter and nothing more, the senator’s office tells the Herald.

TMZ.com posted images today of Kerry surrounded by young women, including one drinking what appears to be a can of beer. Other photos show the women, sunburned and partying, mugging for the camera.

The senator’s office said the images of Kerry are nothing but a chance encounter on a dock, and Kerry kept on walking after being caught on camera, according to a statement sent to bostonherald.com this afternoon.

Kerry’s office demanded TMZ.com change the way it was posting the matter.

“The caption on this TMZ gossip website is completely erroneous and insulting, and it should be immediately corrected. As Sen. Kerry and two friends left dinner at the Straight Warf restaurant on Nantucket and walked down the dock, a large group on a boat recognized Senator Kerry and asked if they could have a photo taken. The group came off the boat and onto the dock, took a photo with Sen. Kerry and his friends, and then Sen. Kerry and his two friends immediately walked away. End of story,” said Kerry spokesperson David Wade.

A Massachusetts Republican Party member pointed out the pictures today on Fox News.

Frankly, I think he is in hot water what that effervescent bride of his, Teresa Heinz-Kerry.

Kerry: Obama Could Help US Relations with Muslim Nations ‘Because He’s a Black Man’

In an interview with Massachusetts’ SouthCoastToday, Obama-backing Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., says among other reasons he’s supporting Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, is his belief that “it would be such an affirmation of who we say we are as a people. if we could elect an African-American president, young leader, who is obviously visionary about the ability to inspire people.”

Kerry said that a President Obama would help the US, in relations with Muslim countries, “in some cases go around their dictator leaders to the people and inspire the people in ways that we can’t otherwise.”

“He has the ability to help us bridge the divide of religious extremism,” Kerry said. “To maybe even give power to moderate Islam to be able to stand up against this radical misinterpretation of a legitimate religion.”

Kerry was asked what gives Obama that credibility.

“Because he’s African-American. Because he’s a black man. Who has come from a place of oppression and repression through the years in our own country.”

An African-American president would be “a symbol of empowerment” for those who have been disenfranchised around the world, Kerry said, “an important lesson for America to show Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, other places in the world where disenfranchised people don’t get anything.”
