I'm just a gigolo...

Can somebody PLEASE bitch-slap J. Flipper Kerry and explain to him that this ain't Survivor, and Teresa isn't wearing any kind of immunity necklace. From the Washington Times:
Having twice used her immense wealth to rescue her second husband's faltering political career, Mrs. Heinz Kerry now claims a highly dubious "right to privacy." Her failure to disclose her returns would make her the first spouse to shield this information in the three decades during which presidential and vice presidential candidates and their spouses have routinely made this information public. Mr. Kerry, who has twice exploited his wife's wealth in the past and stands ready to benefit from it again if she makes good her threat to unleash an "independent" issue-ads campaign, once again expects to have it both ways, just as he has done on matters of policy.
Bottom line: There's no way they'll allow her tax returns to be made public. Where you and I might have a few skeletons in our closets, I suspect it's fossilized Brontosaurus remains lurking in the armoire of the Louisburg Square master suite.

Read the whole piece, then submit your best guess as to how Kerry's gonna raise the scratch to repay that "loan". I hear there's good money to be made in the gigolo trade.

UPDATE: Now it appears as though she will be releasing the first two pages of her tax return some time in October. I'm sure that from the third page on, there's really not much interesting at all. Yeah, right.

If her full returns ever get released, I predict there's enough dirt in there to sink not only Kerry's shot at the White House, but also his chances of getting re-elected to his senate seat, even in the liberal enclave of Massachusetts.
