Senator Kerry When Faced With Yacht Questions: "Can I Get Out of Here, Please?"
Last week, Democratic Congresscritter Charlie Rangel* got pissy that a mere reporter would dare to ask him about his ethics problems. Today Democratic Senator John Kerry had an uncomfortable confrontation with reporters asking about tax-evasion and his yacht.
Actually, watch the video (it's in the sidebar) and see how fast he whips around to glare at whichever reporter yelled out "will you pay any of those taxes back?"
His answer:
There's nothing more to say about it. I have said-- wait a minute, let's get this very straight, I've said consistently we will pay our taxes, we have always paid our taxes. It's not an issue. Period. We've always paid our taxes; we'll pay our taxes.
Senator Kerry says the yacht is in Rhode Island, which does not have the same taxes on nautical vessels as Massachusetts, because "it's being worked on." He finishes by whinging, "Can I get out of here, please?"
Thanks to...uh, my Dad.
*Yes, I totally meant Rangel, but I'm still having MondayBrain in a bad way.
