Kerry's effort at independance on foreign oil:

Kerry insisted, "I do NOT own an SUV" said John Kerry during an environmental speech, but when pressed about a Chevrolet Suburban, the mother of all SUVs, kept at the Heinz Kerry abode in Idaho, Kerry said: "The family has it. I don't have it."

There are eight "family" cars and SUVs, including the 1995 Suburban (15 mpg highway, 12 mpg city), a 1993 Land Rover Defender (12 mpg highway, 10 mpg city), a 1989 Jeep Cherokee (20 mpg highway, 16 mpg city), a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee (20 mpg highway, 15 mpg city), a 2001 Audi Allroad (21 mpg highway, 15 mpg city), a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser (25 mpg highway, 20 mpg city), a 1985 Dodge 600 Convertible (26 mpg highway, 23 mpg city), and a 2002 Chrysler 300M (26 mpg highway, 18 mpg city). Kerry, however, only owns up to the latter two.
    Then there's the 2002 Harley Davidson (his), two powerboats (one his, one hers), a power inflatable 2001 Novurania (his), and a Gulfstream II private jet (hers).

Kerry's common man hypocrisy:

While John Kerry, John Edwards and their families were having a "lite" lunch at Wendy's in the Town of Newburgh Friday, drumming up local support, their real lunches were waiting on their bus.
A member of the Kerry advance team called the Newburgh Yacht Club the night before and ordered 19 five-star lunches to go.
The gourmet meals to go included shrimp vindallo, grilled diver sea scallops, prosciutto, wrapped stuffed chicken, and steak salad. The meals came to about $200. Days later, after feigning a hankering for some "baby back ribs and a vanilla malted" from a famed Wisconsin diner, Senator Kerry was found dining on filet mignon at a nearby restaurant.
