I guess he’s not running next time around. Or if he does, his Republican opponent won’t have much of a battle.
John Kerry’s Katrina Aid Arrives Late
Monday, Sept. 12, 2005 11:11 a.m. EDT
NewsMax.comBillionaire Democratic Sen. John Kerry has finally sent his own aid package to hurricane-ravaged New Orleans more than two weeks after the storm hit – and a week after most of the city had been successfully evacuated by the Bush administration.
Kerry traveled to New Orleans on Monday aboard a UPS Boeing 757 loaded with 5,000 bottles of baby formula, 5,000 pairs of sneakers and an array of cleaning supplies, the Associated Press said.
“Everything that any of us can do is so welcome, and it provides just a little bit of help at an extraordinary time,” the Massachusetts Democrat told the AP.
But rather than pay for the aid using his wife’s ketchup fortune – which the Los Angeles Times estimated last year at over a billion dollars – Kerry’s aid package was donated by Boston’s Children’s Hospital, the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans and the New Balance sneaker company.
UPS donated the plane, the flight crew and fuel, trucks and drivers to transport the goods to Logan International Airport and then to disperse them to Baton Rogue and Lafayette, La.
It’s not clear what, if anything, Sen. Kerry paid for.
… but I bet he wore gumboots and a checkered shirt!
