John Kerry is now a Saint....CAN YOU BELIEVE IT ?

On a Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D. C., Senator John Kerry's campaign
manager visited the Cardinal of the Catholic cathedral.

He told the Cardinal that John Kerry would be attending the next day's
sermon, and asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Kerry to the
congregation and say a few words including calling Kerry a saint.

"No," the Cardinal replied. "I don't really like the man, and there are
issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Kerry's views."

"Look," said Kerry's manager, "I'll write a check here and now for a
donation of $100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the congregation you
see Kerry as a saint."

The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the money.
I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."

Senator Kerry appeared for the Sunday sermon, seating himself prominently at
the edge of the main isle.

As promised, the Cardinal pointed out that Senator Kerry was present, then
went on to explain to the congregation: "While Senator Kerry's presence is
probably an honor to some, he is not my favorite person. Some of his views
are contrary to those of the church, and he tends to flip-flop on many other
views. John Kerry is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a
nit-wit. He's is also a liar, a cheat, and a thief.

"John Kerry is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally
witnessed. He turned on his buddies in Vietnam. He wrote a book and
portrayed himself in the best light when he was a traitor to his fellow
servicemen. He has lied about his military record and had the gall to put
himself in for a medal, including one that does not even exist.

"He married for money and is using it to lie to the American people.  He
also has a reputation for shirking his senatorial obligations both here in
Washington and in Massachusetts. He simply is not to be trusted."

The Cardinal completed his view of Kerry with, "But, when compared to
Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator Kerry is a saint."
