U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) couldn’t have picked a better time to get smashed in the face with a hockey stick.

Kerry was at the White House yesterday for the ceremony honoring the Stanley Cup-winning Boston Bruins, and the 68-year-old came complete with two black eyes and a broken nose that he got during a game of hockey with family and friends over the holiday.

      When I first saw him on TV I just assumed he just had his eyes done!

        Kerry playing hockey--doubtful. Looks to me like he had some plastic surgery done on his eyes.

          A broken nose not in some kind of a cast? He was just scared obama would get all the attention. He wanted some of it.

            You don't put casts on a broken nose. One might have a temporary splint over it IF one has surgery to fix it....otherwise, no splint. The yellowing of the bruises indicate it happened several days ago. And it is obvious there was no plastic surgery..........eyes aren't red or puffy and still plenty of wrinkles!

              If you look real close you can see the indention on his forehead that reads Heinz Catsup.

                  What really happened was his wife told him to stop at the store and get a bottle of ketchup. He picked up a bottle of Hunt's instead of Heinz. His soon to be ex-wife then beat him with it for cheating on her with another ketchup. He said later he was glad she didn't know about the giant bottle of Vlasic pickles he got at WalMart.

                      Oh here we go again, Kerry wins another purple heart for his gallantry. The fact is that his mistress beat the crap out of him for not coming through with his promises and then when he got home, his wife after seeing his drunken condition put two and two together and beat the crap out of him again. Poor sorry man, haha.

                        I wouldn't be surprised if Teresa smacked him.

                          You people putting out that crap are the same gullible crowd that voted for Little Bushie instead of Kerry. Kerry fought in the South Vietnam delta while Little Bush evaded combat in Alabama. You never saw that pipsqueak Bush in a hockey game, even when he was half as old as Kerry is now. Bravo, John!

                          Kerry & I arrived in Vietnam a month apart; he on the swifts, I on the PBRs. when he realized he

                          could get killed, he used three non authorized wounds to get purple hearts and got his azz sent home after 3 month. he was no less a coward than BushJr. He got off his boat for a photo op, that in itself was a punishable offense. had he been in a REAL combat action, THAT would have been enough to get him relieved of his duties.

                          too bad the "family member" didn't get in a few more whacks

                              Hopefully he got in his licks to but i think he is to old for someone to break his nose. I know how old people are when they get disrespected they tend to want to fight. Too bad no one recorded what actually happened. Though im sure someone did its just gonna be kept on lock down.
