Sound Familiar?

From The Guardian (via the Drudge Report) comes yet another lovely bit of nuance from our esteemed junior senator:
    During a conference call Thursday with reporters to discuss his upcoming jobs tour through West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, the Democratic presidential candidate was asked whether he owned a Chevrolet Suburban.

    "I don't own an SUV," said Kerry, who supports increasing existing fuel economy standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015 in order to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil supplies.

    Kerry thought for a second when asked whether his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, had a Suburban at their Ketchum, Idaho, home. Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M. He said his wife owns the Chevrolet SUV.

    "The family has it. I don't have it," he said.
Unbelievable. How much longer does he honestly think he can get away with this crap? He was MORE than happy to take the $6 million loan on his "share" of the Heinz-Kerry abode on Beacon Hill. But the eeeeee-vil SUV, that's "family" property, not his. So, Teresa's assets are "hers" if they might hurt your candidacy, but anything that can benefit you financially is 50% "yours", is that how it works, John? You wouldn't be trying to have it both ways now, would you?

If Liveshot keeps coming up with gems like this, I'll be dropping the over/under on Kerry electoral votes to double digits. I mean, Kerry's making Dukakis look presidential.
