More Kerry Car Troubles: ’Purple Heart 3’ Vanity Plate, Outsourced SUV

Unlike most combat vets, Sen. John Kerry has never been shy over bragging about his wartime experience.

Really? I never noticed that! Which war did he fight in, again?

But even we were surprised to hear that his 1985 Dodge is plastered with vanity plates that read "Purple Heart 3."

I guess ’Rambo 3’ was already taken...

The Boston Herald’s Howie Carr has done some research into the Kerry family’s fleet of vehicles and has turned up some interesting details.

Howie Carr, the Boston Blowtorch. He’s been riding Kerry for at least 20 years; he’s the Dean of all things Kerry.

Apart from the Purple Heart plates, Carr has discovered that Kerry’s wife, Teresa, is hiding another family SUV at their estate on Nantucket, in addition to the Chevy Surburban the Heinz Kerrys keep at their Idaho mansion.

And for this one, the would-be first family decided to outsource.

The plates on the British-made 1997 Land Rover Defender driven by the woman who wants to be America’s next first lady read MOZMBQ - a reminder of the country Heinz Kerry recently lamented she wished she’d never left.

That’s because the French don’t build SUV’s.

"I can’t believe my family left Africa and came to this country," she griped to the New York Post’s Cindy Adams two weeks ago. "I can’t believe I ever even married an American."

No, The-REEEEE-Za, he married your portfolio you. There’s a difference.

The plates on Teresa’s 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee read HZ 57, a reference to the company whose management has spent the last few months sending out letters to the media insisting it has nothing to do with her.

They don’t call them vanity plates for nothing!

And it turns out there’s another outsourced car in the Kerry family’s vehicular portfolio. The stepson of the Democrats’ man-of-the-people candidate tools around in a nifty 2002 Porsche 911.

I’m sure he saved up all his pennies for that rig. Looking forward to his radio show today (WRKO, 680 AM; I think it’s simulcast on www.howiecarr.org).
