Life As A Cabana Boy

There's an interesting report in the Guardian today:

Does John Kerry, who supports higher automobile fuel economy standards, own a gas-guzzling SUV? He does, but says it belongs to the family, not to him.

During a conference call Thursday with reporters to discuss his upcoming jobs tour through West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, the Democratic presidential candidate was asked whether he owned a Chevrolet Suburban.

``I don't own an SUV,'' said Kerry, who supports increasing existing fuel economy standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015 in order to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil supplies.

What a handy answer -- don't blame me, blame my wife.

And it's true. The man doesn't own anything. It's a refreshingly honest admission that reflects the reality of life as a "cabana boy," as friend Orrin Judd puts it.

We congratulate the Senator for his honesty.
