Scaramouche

In the recent rush of news events many delightful stories have slipped by with little notice. For instance Boston radio personality Howie Carr’s report last week, wherein he located John Kerry’s yacht, Scaramouche http://images.radcity.net/3153/589587.jpg , on blocks and under plastic in a hangar in Middleton, Rhode Island.

A photographs of Kerry’s Scaramouche can be found here http://rope.wrko-am.fimc.net/kerry/09.13.04.Kerrys_boat_04.jpg and here http://rope.wrko-am.fimc.net/kerry/09.13.04.Kerrys_boat_02.jpg .

The ownership of this $780,000 yacht has never been questioned, as Carr has even dug up its registration http://images.radcity.net/3153/589587.jpg .

A brochure for similar 42 ft. Hinkleys can be found here http://www.wrko.com/listingsEntry.asp?ID=177492&PT= .

One can’t help but wonder if the Scaramouche didn’t go under wraps just around the time the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth began to level their charges against John Kerry’s Vietnam record last spring.

For Scaramouche is a famous name that some might feel suits John Kerry down to the waterline:

From the Oxford English Dictionary:

Scaramouche, n. 1. (As proper name, with capital S.) A stock character in Italian farce, a cowardly and foolish boaster of his own prowess, who is constantly being cudgelled by Harlequin.

All this was from an email someone forwarded to me.

I think its a French name too. I doubt he would name his boat a 'bafoon' as I found on dictionary.com
