Kerry v Bush Briefly

I found these interesting information on the Metro newspaper today on the way to the university. It's a kind of information about Bush and Kerry that you don't read everywhere, so I kept the paper in order to write it in this blog. The paper says its website is www.metro.co.uk but I didn't find this particular article on the website.

Age

• Bush: 48
• Kerry: 51

Family Roots

• Bush: Scion of a wealthy oil and military family. Is distantly related to the British Royal family!
• Kerry: Family roots go back to the 19th century Aberdeen in Scotland. (comment: both are somehow connected to this island!!)

Education

• Bush: Yale Graduate. While at Yale he was a member of the secretive Skull and Bones Club, which hand picks members it considers to be future political and business leaders. (comment: was it becuase of his father that they took him in the club?)
• Kerry: Went to boarding school in Switzerland. Has French relatives, but has not mentioned that during the campaign. He's also a Yale graduate. Also member of the Skull and Bones Club. He is a well-connected son of a former diplomat and considered one of the richest men in the Senate. (comment: now Yale University is worth a visit! The fact that he has gone to school outside the States is reflected in his open attitude to the world).

Fact

• Bush: Hates being called 'Junior', so uses the W to distinguish himself from his father (comment: vay naz beshi..., he hates it). Bush is a born-again Christian, who converted not long after his 40th birthday, around the same time as giving up alcohol!
• Kerry: He served in Vietnam, and is a decorated hero who came home to campaign against the war.

Marriage

• Bush: Married to Laura and has twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna.
• Kerry: Married twice, second wife is Teresa Heinz, heiress to the ketchup and canned food fortune. Has two daughters from first marriage and three stepsons from the second. (comment: Mashalla he's such an AYALVAR person!!)

Dumbest quote during campaign

• Bush: Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we!!! (comment: migan taraf oomad harf bezane rah raft!!)
• Kerry: I actually did vote for the$87 billion [military funding bill for troops in Iraq], before I voted against it!!
