John Kerry was scheduled to visit the Catholic National Cathedral outside Washington as part of his campaign. Kerry's campaign manager made a visit to the cardinal and said to him, "We've been getting a lot of bad publicity among Catholics because of Kerry's position on abortion and the like. We'd gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if during your sermon you'd say John Kerry is a saint."
The Cardinal thinks it over for a few moments and finally says, "The Church is in desperate need of funds and I will agree to do it."
Kerry pompously shows up looking especially smug today, and as the Mass progresses the Cardinal begins his homily. "John Kerry is petty, self-absorbed hypocrite and a nitwit. He is a liar, a cheat, and a low intelligence weasel. He wrote a book and portrayed himself in the best light when he was a traitor to his fellow servicemen. He has lied about his military record and had the gall to put himself in for a medal. He married for money and is using it to lie to the American people. He is the worst example of a Catholic I've ever personally known.
But compared to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry is a saint."

I haven't seen this discussed around here, but then maybe I haven't looked... if Kerry is elected, he'll be our first Catholic-Jewish President! Now, talk about flip-flop... lol... but seriously, is it common knowledge that his grandfather was an Austrian Jew who converted to Catholicism for pragmatic reasons, and that Kerry didn't even know this until a couple of years ago?

I heard the same thing. He found out recently why his grandfather changed his name or religions or whatever. It doesn't seem to matter to anyone. I know I couldn't care less. What I do know is I hear nothing about Kerry doing shady buisiness deals or having affairs. He seems pretty clean to me.

Now that I didn't know! My dad would be able to relate to that somewhat...his parents were German Jews/post-war immigrants whao raised my dad as presbyterian. His jaw dropped when he found out 30 years later that they used to be jewish...
I think he's still voting for Bush though...ohwell...
