#1 Not even an American. I see! No American would put up with this BS

I should have said, not raised in America. . .

He is a dual citizen

#2 Wow. Was that supposed to be a sympathetic piece? I would imagine so, since it's from the Times. But it paints Kerry as a huge asshole.

#3 Does he sleep outside SKerrys door on the floor?

#4 For lunch and dinner, while the staff scarfs sandwiches and chips, Nicholson finds hot food for Kerry - a local specialty is nice, but a standby is soup and half chicken with three sides (corn, green beans, mashed potatoes).

I'm going to give points for food taste.

#6 Shipman - I was wondering if the corn was on the cob or creamed. That answer would say a lot.

#7 Just wondering if cinderfella here has to tap senator lurchs unit when he has had a nice tinkle.

#8 Bush has a Chief of Staff too (Andrew H. Card, Jr) and he pretty much does what this guy is doing. It says this guy has DUAL citizenship. Nothing news worthy here. However he did Caddie at the racists Augusta Nationals! Please don't go the way of DU: "We hate him and everything about him." I find it an interesting glimpse into Kerry's world but nothing that makes me like OR hate him personally.

#9 I'll guarantee you that he rigs Kerry's windsurfer before they go sailing. If Kerry is elected (please, no, not that), this guy could be the windsurfing Secret Service agent Teresa says they will need. Must be nice to have a valet.

#10 Dude, the article says "Chief of Stuff", not "Chief of Staff". It's a stupid pun. The guy isn't a Chief of Staff, he's a gofer. In The West Wing terms, he's not Leo, he's Charlie. A gentleman's gentleman, as it were. They even use the v-word in the article - valet. Wonder whether we'll get a profile of the much-speculated-upon butler as well?

Did I mention recently how much I despise the nobility? Bah.

#11 Sarge; respectfully - I don't hate him. But this makes me think he acts like a spoilt child.

I also don't visualize Andrew Card smearing the Skippy on the whole wheat for the president.

This Nicholson is more of a valet than a chief of staff.

#12 Was the Times perhaps hinting at something when it mentioned Nicholson going long to catch Kerry's throws? Enquiring minds want to know.

#13 I wonder if he takes care of Teresa as well?

#14 My bad. But isn't that what Card does too? He schedules things for the Prez and makes sure that all runs smoothly? I doubt he is slathering skippy for George but I be he does many of theings described in the article.

#15 Maybe they alternate pitching and catching...not that there's anything wrong with that.

#16 Yes, Sarge, Andy Card is a jack-of-all-trades, but
it just strikes me funny.

If I were to become super-rich, I might have to hire a personal sandwich maker, but for now I can make sandwiches myself, and occasionally the wife will make me a sandwich, as I do for her. The life of us regular folks.

#17 He keeps little black books filled with the names and numbers of people Kerry meets

I wonder if someone could get ahold of these little black books? We might find out the names of those foreign leaders then! Or maybe find out there weren't any.

#18 AF Lady - The leaders would be in those "Little Black Books". Remember? He meets the leaders in the NY restaurants, and Nicholson would thus be jotting down the names.

He makin' a list
Checkin' it twice
Gonna' find out
Who's naughty and nice.

Bad boy Blair.
Good boy Chirac.

#19 Kerry, 59, is comfortable being catered to.

And that, ladies and gents, is what John Kerry is all about.

#20 Nickname?

Smithers, of course.

#22 They don't call him chief of staff for nothing.
