KERRY’S LATEST FLYING SEADOG
Good God, no! John Kerry has a new dog:
The newest addition to Sen. John Kerry’s inner circle is a Schnauzer puppy named Stache, who takes his handle from the pronounced hair on his face.
Should’ve named him Bush. Ha ha! Anyways ...
Last week, Stache was spotted by our dogged spies being taken for a ride on the family speedboat in Nantucket.
Let’s hope they had an auxiliary boat handy in case of unexpected enemy action:
When I was serving on a swiftboat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC. We all took care of him, and he stayed with us and loved riding on the swiftboat deck. I think he provided all of us with a link to home and a few moments of peace and tranquility during a dangerous time. One day as our swiftboat was heading up a river, a mine exploded hard under our boat. After picking ourselves up, we discovered VC was MIA. Several minutes of frantic search followed after which we thought we’d lost him. We were relieved when another boat called asking if we were missing a dog. It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed confused, but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol.
“Confused but unhurt”. Didn’t Kerry win a medal for that? Happy landings, Stache!
