"Perks" for Kerry: meals, car, condo, real estate windfall, apartment

"But then Globe and Herald reporters-not me-started digging up dirt on Kerry's finances. First, it came out that his supporters had treated him to meals and more lucrative freebies in the '80s: a car he "leased" for 16 months without any payments, a ritzy condo he rented for $200 per month from a friendly developer, a no-risk $21,000 real estate windfall arranged by a top fund-raiser, a lobbyist's $8,000-per-month waterfront apartment where he crashed without paying. Then it came out that Kerry had given less than 1 percent of his earnings to charity before marrying Teresa Heinz. And, when Kerry claimed he had been strapped for cash because his kids were in private school, it came out that he had bought a handmade, ruby red, $8,600 Ducati motorcycle the same year he had given only $175 to charity.

3. wow!
Compared to Kerry, I have been shoveling $$$ to charity!
I feel so dang charitable after reading that, I know I must have some good karma due me.

BTW, can I be a Senator? Sounds like a pretty good gig.
