Kerry the Magnificent

Kerry had a few problems on his week-long getaway to Sun Valley ski slopes. (Hat tip Charles)

His next trip down, a reporter and a camera crew were allowed to follow along on skis — just in time to see Mr. Kerry taken out by one of the Secret Service men, who had inadvertently moved into his path, sending him into the snow.

When asked about the mishap a moment later, he said sharply, "I don't fall down," then used an expletive to describe the agent who "knocked me over."

Nice way to describe someone who's protecting your life. Still, Johnnie's biggest problem is all those damn little people that keep getting in his way.....like this one:

Still, Mr. Kerry could not entirely escape the hazards of the arena he had left behind. He had just sat down for a bite to eat on the crowded patio near the lift line when a waiting skier, John Norris, shouted: "Hey, John! What foreign leaders talked to you?"

Mr. Kerry beat a retreat back into the lodge, to an upstairs, out-of-the-way dining area where he would be sure to draw even less attention.

Using the old French/UN strategy, eh Johnnie?
