John Kerry... The Soccer Mom
John Kerry drives a Suburban. Which is not a big deal, except for the fact that he can't even bring himself to say he owns the SUV.

``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 also has made rising gasoline prices an issue in the campaign against President Bush. In Houston on Thursday, Kerry said the president broke a 2000 campaign pledge to ``jawbone' oil-producing nations by pressuring them to increase their output.

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.

This bothers me. For one thing, I just saw the commercial for the Chrysler 300M and thought about buying one. John Kerry and I have the same taste in cars... yikes!

But there's something else. Every time something like this comes up it's always "that's my wife's (fill in the blank)". Do these people share anything other than a thirst for power?
