Kerry was going to visit the Catholic National Cathedral outside
Washington as part of his campaign. Kerry's campaign manager made a
visit to the Cardinal and said to him, "We've been getting a lot of bad
publicity among Catholics because of Kerry's position on abortion and
the like. We'd gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if
during your sermon you'd say John Kerry is a saint."
The Cardinal thinks it over for a moment and agrees to do it.
Kerry shows up, and as the Mass progresses the Cardinal begins his
homily: "John Kerry is petty, a self absorbed hypocrite and a nit-wit.
He is a liar, a cheat, and a thief. He is the worst example of a
Catholic I've ever personally known.
"But compared to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry is a saint."
