I wonder if Kerry is one of those congress people (like most) who has no passport? Afterall, it's only a matter of time before he, too, will have to have a full military unit clearcutting everything in multi-mile radi of him where ever he goes, so he isn't murdered. How long before US presidents can't leave DC at all, and can no longer speak in person to any member of the public? The interesting come-back by the gate-keeping left about Kerry's wealth is this: "Oh that's just because of his wife, the heiress, so it's fine because it isn't like *he* made that money."

WASHINGTON - From a sailing mecca to a ski resort, presumptive Democratic nominee John Kerry (news - web sites) and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, enjoy the trappings of their wealth in at least five homes and vacation getaways valued at nearly $33 million.

Some are private escapes for the family, while others serve as prime spots to host fund-raisers and exclusive gatherings for wealthy donors. All reflect the couple's status — he is a four-term Massachusetts senator, she is heiress to the $500 million family ketchup fortune — with breathtaking vistas, elegant furnishings and enclosures that protect the property from prying eyes.
