| Kerry Aides Blame Puffy, Bill Clinton, Daughter |
| 2004-11-05 |
| As the Kerry campaign disintegrates into oblivion, the finger pointing in the Democratic ranks has already begun. The New York Post's must-read Page Six reports that numbers of notable figures in the 2004 campaign are being roasted by party insiders. These include: Alexandra Kerry: The paper said John Kerry's daughter "made a splash at the Cannes Film Festival last spring when she appeared on the red carpet in a see-through dress." Campaign "insiders snipe that all she did was rack up major expenses. 'She had an entourage of five people with her everywhere she went.' A hairdresser, makeup artist, publicist and two assistants. It ended up costing something like $8,000 a month. And she didn't exactly do anything." Sean "Puffy" Combs: The rap mogul made national headlines with his "Vote or Die" effort to get young voters to register and vote. But they never materialized at the polls. "He was just a nuisance," the Post quotes one Kerry aide as saying. "The whole thing was a joke. No one outside of New York or L.A. gives a hoot about this guy. All he did was get himself press." Terry McAuliffe and Bill Clinton: The Post says Clinton and his top fund-raiser, who heads the Democratic Party, caused the disaster. The Post has reported that some analysts say Clinton's emergence in the closing days of the campaign "energized" the Republican base. |

| #4 I would have expected the Kerry-a-grudgelings to start bitching how Clinton didn't appear enough so as to prop up Hillary. But they will probably play that card too, being so ambidextrous. |

| #3 That was just the tip of the iceberg. There was so much more about how cluster-fucked the kerry campaign on Larry Elder tonight, I can't get into it all but let's just say most insiders feel that Terayza didn't do Johnny any favors. |

| #1 Yeah, it had nothing to do with the horseshit candidate you ran out. Nothing at all. But these boobs, and soooooo many others helped to make sure Jawnny boy will be windsurfing to Bolivian soon. |
