Sept. 21, 2004 John Kerry was on David Letterman the other night. At first I thought it was stupid pet tricks, but realized my mistake when Letterman addressed him by name. Then it came to me; John (Heinz) Kerry was trying out an idea for a new career for after the election. Of course he can't say anything as he's in too deep now, but I know, or think I know what he was doing. He's either going to be cast as David Letterman's sidekick/second banana (think Ed McMahan/Johnny Carson, Conan O'Brian/Andy Richter), or he's going into stand up comedy. I didn't actually see more than the previews. David Letterman isn't my kind of...well, what the heck would you call him. He hasn't got a personality. Then again, he's from Indiana so go figure. Which rather (not Dan) reafirms my first thought which was Mr. (Heinz) Kerry is trying out for the second banana job. I mean Carson had McMahan and Doc Severnson. Letterman has Paul Shaffer, but no second banana position. I think he was going to give the position to Bill Clinton. I noticed he'd been on lately, but then he'd had heart surgery not long ago so maybe that's why Jolly John was on the other night. That kinda implies, though, John Kerry is Dave's second choise. Hmmmmmm! Some of the top ten list was good. Yeah, I read it this morning. When he was talking about no estate tax with families with at least two presidents was he thinking of his lately revealed relationship to George W. Bush and Bush 41? This is a ponderence. It is food for thought. Of course, this is not directed especially at the Bushes. There have been several families with more than one president. There's been Adams, Harrison (hey, since my grandmother Zelhart was a Harrison does that let us off the hook, too, Johnny?) and Roosevelts. Sorry, folks the Kennedys don't count, but they tried. Another thought! (It happens, sometimes.)Maybe Bill Clinton suggested this. I mean maybe feeling John (Heinz) Kerry's pain he wanted to smooth the way for this new career. Maybe he knows something about the coming election. I mean it's been bandied about he and Hillary aren't going to let Jolly John win. She's not going to wait and everyone knows it. (Sorry, Lib dudes, I didn't mean to ruin your most excellent trip!) This only leads to one question...What about John Edwards? I hear he fits nicely in John Kerry's suitcase (okay, he came in his own case, but I heard it got lost somewhere around Lawrence, Ks.) ------------ About the author: Lee Zelhart is a proud graduate of McKendree College in Lebanon, Illinois. He is the widowed father of two teens and the prospective author of a soon to be published book called: The Ghost of the Cavalier. Sometime in summer 2005, or before.
