Attached is a much better pic of Kerry.
Sen. Kerry Rents Out Boston Symphony Hall to Celebrate Himself

I salute myself for being the richest douchenozzle in the Senate.
Typical douche-nozzle progressive. John Kerry is celbrating...for himself. One of the richest Senators is asking other Democrats to help him collect funds for his reelection campaign...four years from now. Typical progressive. Kerry wants to spend other people's money to keep himself in office.
The Boston Herald reports:
Battle-weary Bay State Democrats are getting squeezed by U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry this Christmas, as the nation's richest senator puts the arm on cash-strapped party donors to fill his campaign war chest — even though he's not up for re-election for another four years.
"I think people feel very tapped-out," said Phil Johnston, former Massachusetts Democratic Party chairman, who is helping to organize Kerry's Dec. 13 gala. Johnston, who said he is seeing steady ticket sales, still expects a full house.
"It's a measure of John Kerry's strength among Democrats that this event should be hugely successful," he said.
The state's senior senator — recently ranked the nation's richest with $2.7 million in his campaign coffers and an estimated net worth of $239 million — is asking fellow Democrats to open their wallets yet again after they dug deep during a hard-fought election year. His extravaganza at the Boston Symphony — where tickets range from $75 to $4,800 — could be a tough sell as the party's rank-and-file struggles through another Christmas in a tough economy.
"For Democrats, there's a bit of fatigue — people have been giving aggressively," said Democratic consultant Scott M. Ferson, president of the Liberty Square Group. "But we need John Kerry now more than ever. He's one of the few (Massachusetts) Democrats left in a leadership position."
Kerry put up $85,000 in campaign cash to rent the 2,000-seat Boston Symphony, where Boston Pops maestro Keith Lockhart, singer James Taylor and actor-director Ben Affleck are expected to appear.
Boston University political professor Thomas Whalen said the extravagant blowout — meant to celebrate Kerry's 25 years in the Senate and 45 years of public service — could be a turnoff to struggling Bay Staters.
"The symbolism really works against him, which is typical of Kerry," Whalen said. "It doesn't exactly portray him as a man of the people. He could inadvertently tick off a lot of supporters given that a lot of people are going through a tough time."
This is the same d-bag who docked his $7 million dollar yatch in Rhode Island to avoid paying taxes to his home state. Most in Massachusetts aren't lucky enough to marry into money, as Kerry did when he married Teresa Heinz.
