    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 pol-itical 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.

    Maybe he could improve his image with the commoner by serving hot dogs from Fenway Park, with a lot of Heinz condiments available?

    So typical of Kerry.

    We are very fortunate this narcissist, like the one we have in office now, was not elected president.

    The weird part is that some demoncrats are willing to pay up to $4,800 bucks to attend this gig.
