In fairness, John Kerry would be no better than upper middle class if it weren't for his ketchup bride.

given the veep's penchant for saying kind of nutty things, I was hoping when I opened this thread that it was going to have touch of whimsy, maybe some absurdity. you, know good for a laugh or at least a chuckle.
sadly, no.

Why are you so shocked that a fundraiser involves people ponying up money? I don't know why I even respond to this concern-trolling, but you can get grass-fed beef over at whole foods on Springfield--you know, the one next door to Best Buy.

While we're at it-do you ever get embarrassed when you post what are obviously GOP talking points, but pretend they're your own thoughts?
Oh, and grass-fed beef is actually Democratic--better for your health, better for the environment, better for the animals themselves. No wonder conservatives want to mock it.

I agree, it's pretty pathetic to talk about the middle class while dining on grass fed NY strip steaks with truffle mashed potatoes at a $5 million dollar townhouse to almost a hundred donors ponying up 10K each for the privilege. If you don't think that's absurdity, I can't imagine what you think is!
In fairness, that one was largely successful.ml1 said:

Wait, wasn't the meme that Joe Biden made money but couldn't keep hold of it?
Let's compare two net worths as represented by the highly partisan Celebrity Net Worth site.
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/democrats/joe-biden-net-worth/
Joe Biden is worth $500,000
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/mitt-romney-net-worth/
Mitt Romney is worth $250,000,000
John Kerry is only worth a piddling $194,000,000
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/democrats/john-kerry/
So, if Joe Biden lived around here, he'd be considered quite poor I imagine. At most upper middle class to those who say that $250k isn't rich.

Fox News told John to say this, so he did. Simple as that. How does it feel to be a non-thinking puppet, John?
Besides, who cares?

John, you do know we've all mocked Kerry, right? Holding up a political dead fish from 8 years ago as some "comeback" is a bit... I don't know... Irrelevant?
ml1 said:
absolutely.
and fwiw, I am on record as saying Mitt's wealth is irrelevant. we should only look at the policies he's proposing, and not his personal net worth.
but I do think he's funny. just like Biden is funny, but in a different way.

Vice President Joe Biden addressed 87 wealthy Democrats last night attending a fundraiser at the home of Sen. John Kerry in Georgetown. As they dined on grass-fed New York strip steaks and white truffle mashed potatos underneath a outdoor tent, Biden criticized Republicans for being out of touch.
“These guys don’t have a sense of the average folks out there,” Biden said according to the pool report, “They don’t know what it means to be middle class.”
87 guests paid a minimum of $10,000-per-couple to attend the dinner.
