When the Washington Post treats your pretension as an object of ridicule, it's time to turn out the lights...
Just HOW desperate for relevance is this buffoon?
| Quote: | A Complex Greeting
Nothing is ever simple when it comes to John Kerry.
The senator from Massachusetts and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, sent out 75,000 Christmas cards with pictures of trees at each season. The Kerrys gushed over their "gratitude for the beauty of these trees and the life they represent."
But it didn't end there.
The card came in an odd-looking envelope, one of those with a return-mail flap and instructions to send it to . . . well, to a recycling company, so "it can be made into new carpet tile."
Carpet tile?
We want a "world without waste . . . where every product either returns safely to the soil or becomes a new product."
So the card instructs: "1. Remove this panel and insert it along with the card into the envelope. 2. Expose adhesive strip and fold the flap over to seal the envelope. 3. Drop this mailer into any U.S. mailbox."
Who else would send a Christmas card with a to-do list?

James Taranto (as per usual) has a bit of fun at Kerry's expense as well...

"Nothing is ever simple when it comes to John Kerry[*]," observes the Washington Post's Lois Romano (second item):
<snip article>
Putting aside the obvious point that many of these cards will end up in landfills despite the didactic directions, sending 75,000 cards would have cost more than $29,000 in domestic postage alone. If the Heinzes wanted to do something to benefit the environment, couldn't they have found a better way of spending this money?
* The haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat, whose memory of being in Cambodia 38 Christmases ago is "seared--seared--into me," even though by all other accounts it is a fabulation.
