Kerry’s occasional Cayman cookouts
Tuesday, July 6, 2004
BLOOMER, USA: Senator John F. Kerry,
presumptive Democratic candidate in the November US presidential election,
told reporters that his family's Fourth of July cookouts were usually by the
water. “Occasionally,” he said, “in the Cayman Islands.”
According to the Los Angeles Times, Kerry was on a three-day Midwestern bus
tour aimed as much at showcasing the Democratic candidate in pastoral settings
as it was at addressing the concerns of rural America.
Kerry is hoping that his swing through Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa will help
him reap political rewards in rural communities assumed to be bastions of
support for President Bush.
But Kerry, who attended private boarding
schools in Switzerland and New England and whose wife controls a fortune that
may total at least $1 billion, could not completely shuck off his patrician
roots as he waxed nostalgic about Fourth of July celebrations in the
Caribbean.
