  1. Did no one notice that not only does he not want anything with ketchup or tomatoes, but his list of demands is twice as long as the VP’s?
    Those liberals, they’re entitled to their entitlements…

  2. Ohoh….Kerry’s wife better watch her step, it appears that John Kerry might just be shopping around for a new condiment…

  3. What they lack in personal culinary preference they make up for with their tastes when on public tours….apparently Theresa likes a micro brewed Berghoff wheat beer to wash down a Limberger and onion sandwich….at least when Lurch was looking for votes in Wisconsin she did….good taste there even if it was strained. 😉

  7. North America’s # 1 sport…Partisan BULLSHIT Tossing.
    Are you a rightie….or a leftie?
    Pick a team,then start blindly flinging shit.(make damn sure you don’t get any on your teammates,you’ll be persecuted)
    I fail to see how ridiculing Kerry’s room requests somehow makes up for the partisan idiocy of ridiculing Cheney’s hotel preferences.Revenge anyone?…Why not take the moral high ground and refuse to play in the partisan gutter like the other side…Just a thought….unless you aspire to hypocracy.

  8. To all Conservatives of questionable character:
    After careful consideration (Well, once we’d finished the second bottle of scotch) My boozing buddies and I have decided, given our hatred of all things Liberal party, that we are going to sabotage the entire proceedings by raising the money for Jason Cherniak… yes that Jason, to run for… wait for it…
    “LEADER OF THE NATU… i mean… LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA”
    It’s around 50K for the bid, and as of this morning, we’ve raised 10 bucks, one guy is giving us his empties, and another has pledged $50 bucks on payday. So total actual cash so far is about $40 bucks ($20 bucks was left over from the pizza fund) and climbing…
    We’ll keep you abreast of our fundraising efforts, but at the level of enthusiasm we’re achieving, we should have the funds raised some time around 20 minutes before the deadline hits.:)
    A place will be set up for actual donations, which I will communicate to Kate. Should we fail to achieve the full amount of the Leadership bid cost, all proceeds will go to the “First Asshole of the Millenium” award, to given to ex-Prime Minister Martin. It’s about $50 bucks for the trophy, and I figure Chretien will hand it to him for $10K and the airfare.

  11. Gawd, you peoplr are all so predictable.
    It’s a joke. But you would rather go on and on proving that Canucks have absolutely NO SENSE OF HUMOR.
    Oh excuse me, before your pile on with more your own version of bullshit: humour

  12. Question: Why does everyone hate Evian? I’ve seen “no Evian” on these tour riders more times than I can count.

  13. “It doesn’t get much more petty than this.”
    Or more sanctimonious than that. Lighten up for Chrissake.

  15. Am I missing something here, is this what passes for a scandal these days? Imagine the gall of anyone to check into a hotel and request hot water, a newspaper, and a comfy bed! And who does he think he is voicing his meal requests! MSM has brought new meaning to the word ‘lame’.

  16. Oh puleeeeeeze Dr.Dawg.
    The left gets much more petty every single freakin’ day.
    Have some wasabi. It’ll help clear your senses.

  17. For all the liberals who didn’t get the joke, John’s wife, Theresa Heinz-Kerry, is the heiress to the heinz ketchup fortune.

  18. It’s no wonder political parties have a hard time attracting quality candidates.
    I know the MSM has slow news days, but couldn’t they find something slightly more interesting than politicians’personal accomodation requirements?
    How about investigating and ratting on each other? That might be interesting. We allow these folks into our homes via the MSM on a daily basis, and we are supposed to accept their credibility, yet we know nothing about them.
    The most mysterious group in our society is not the CIA, or CSIS, it’s our MSM. Some questions I’ve wanted answers to for years: re: Lloyd Robertson. He looks more like Liberace every day, but can he play the piano?
    Was Craig Oliver’s relationship with Trudeau strictly platonic?
    Are Kevin Newman and Troy Reeb “Brokeback newsboys”?
    Disgusting, I know, but far more interesting than some pols mineral water preferences. Now, I don’t want to dwell on the “sex” thing too long, so here’s a few others: Does Bob Cole really believe the Maple Leafs will ever win another Stanly Cup? How much does Mike Duffy weigh, in both metric and Imperial? Is there anyone, anywhere, who finds Judy Rebick attractive, physically or intellectually?
    How many of the news staff at CBC could find jobs elsewhere if some clever person sacked the whole lot of them and sold the CBC?
    Is Tamara Taggart really that hot, or am I suffering from failing eyesight?
    See, MSM’ers, there’s lots of interesting stories out there, maybe you should look closer to home on a slow day.

  19. A bigger crisis has not happened in the upper crust four food groups since George Senior said he didnt like broccolli.!!!

  20. “Or more sanctimonious than that. Lighten up for Chrissake.”
    So Kate, when you posted about the Smoking Gun publishing Cheney’s demands and said:
    “Further evidence of the existence of a professional vacuum we once knew as “journalism”.”
    Were you just lightening up? Or were trying to make a point about how low the left would go to discredit the Vice President. I’m confused.

  21. Peter – pay attention. I mentioned the Cheney item because it was a story being covered by the national media.
    The Smoking Gun link was for reference purposes only.

  22. To all the left-libs who have posted their indignation about this piece…
    Would. you. please. LIGHTEN UP!!
    It’s a friggin’ joke!!! A little slice of irony.
    Poking some fun at the media that made a big deal over the Cheney articles. Christ, don’t you people ever have a sense of humour?
    No-one is casting any aspersions at Kerry as a result of the list of preferences. Gawd knows Kerry has waaaaayyy more newsworthy faults.

  25. Hey, I’m liberal and I got it. Maybe we come in here with too much of an attack-dawg, er, attack-dog mentality sometime, I guess. 😉
    What I find funny about stories like these is, in fact, how disconnected they are with the actual target, i.e. the politician, from every angle. I’ve been there and seen it grow. Handler asks candidate/band member what they would like to eat/drink, what their preferences are for this or that; candidate/band member says ‘s–t, what the f–k do I care, I assume it’s clean and comfortable right? Well, since you’re asking, I guess I like Sprite better than 7UP and onion rings better than fries and…’; next thing you know, every single stop on the campaign trail or the roadshow, the fridge is stocked with only those items, no variety. Then the one under-tipped hotel clerk leaks the contract to the press and the rest is fodder for the irrelevant.
    Obviously, some take their celebrity and selves too seriously and ask for the blue Smarties to be removed because, well, they can. But most of the time, other than a few basics, it’s the handlers who go crazy in trying to make them happy.
    By the way, in case anyone is asking, I like Guiness, strawberries and bananas, burgers with cheddar and fried mushrooms, Diet Coke, ….

  26. Ted:
    I’ll keep your preferences in mind…oh, and the next time I visit your blog, you could you please ensure that all of the yellow M&Ms are removed from the jar?

  27. I like peanut butter
    I like toast and jam
    But hold that red tomato
    Cause it sends me to the can
    Refrain
    He likes peanut butter
    He likes toast and jam
    But hold that red tomato
    Cause it sends him to the can.

  28. Sorry, Bruce. My son has a peanut allergy so we don’t have any M&Ms in our home. Smarties aplenty we have though and I’ll make sure there are no yellow ones.

  29. Sheesh. The whole thing was satire. No, I didn’t get it. Good grief.
    Do you know leftists don’t have a sense of humour?
    No, but hum a few bars and I’ll fake it.

  30. Accustomed as I am to examining matters closely, and in the absence of weightier issues, I have a couple of factual questions on the purported Kerry food preferences:
    1. On page 1 it is stated that Kerry “hates celery,” and that “Grilled tuna, halibut…” are acceptable.
    2. On page 3, it is emphasized “NO TUNA, HALIBUT …” (caps and emphasis in original)
    3. On page 4, we see “Celery” recommended under veggies, and also requested for “In Car” availability.
    So, would someone clarify Kerry’s like or dislike of celery, tuna and halibut – or give us a meatier issue?

  31. Are some of these people really this dull or are they just pulling our legs? Makes one wonder if some of the bloggers on here have cracked a smile in the past 3 years. Try putting a few chuckles into your life and see how good it makes you feel. Research says people who laugh regularly live longer. But then, I am sure some of you will think you live longer, when in fact it only seems longer. Prairie people and Maritime people have great sense of humour. The rest of the Canadians on here must be from Ontario or BC.

  32. Grant:
    As a BC resident I *could* take some offense, but I don’t because you’re right. When I moved to BC 12 years ago I was really expecting “lotus land”, populated by laid-back folks. What I encountered instead was a province with a significant percentage of politically correct tight-asses, much like the Toronto area.
    However, the views are great, the water’s wonderful and when I’m out in the ocean in my boat accompanied by my Golden Retriever, I can’t even begin to hear the whining from the chattering classes…

  33. Agitfact:
    I couldn’t resist this one. As you queried, Kerry likes tuna & halibut on p.1 and hates it on p.3 etc. Isn’t this eerily reminiscent of his flip-flopping on issues during the election campaign on almost an hourly basis? His remarks to the effect that “I voted FOR the war before I voted AGAINST it” comes to mind as merely one hilarious example.

  34. Bruce,Grant…moved back to BC after 15 yrs in Calgary.Has taken a long time to get my head around the political scene here.(Still can’t believe I have an NDP MP)
    I am sure to catch shit for saying this,but the pockets of”left”support in Canada’s 3 largest cities pretty well jives with immigrant populations.
    BTW,had to leave Calgary to see just how much the pro-conservative MSM there spins things.(I do miss the steady stream of soothing words though)
    Finally,if the “smoking gun’s” story was supposed to be funny,it could have used a better setup.That or I’ve turned into a grumpy bastard!

  35. Actually CO, the consensus seems to be that you’ve morphed into a “grumpy bastard”…just kidding…

  37. Cerberus: Pity about the peanut butter and nut M&Ms. I find the Smarties to be truly Canadian but find myself singing (not good) and searching out the red ones for last.
    Ural, ketchup on corn fritters?? Yuck! Ya’ll gotta use country (white) sausage gravy. Have to keep those cartiologists employed you know.

  38. Agitfact,
    page 1 and 2 are JK, Page 3 and 4 are the Ketchup Queen’s.
    I guess opposites DO attact…

  39. WTF is a corn fritter? Is it anything like a hominey or a grit? Damn these yankees eat some wierd stuff.
