Down Pillows and NO Tomatoes…

Last week, The Smoking Gun released details of Vice President Cheney’s “tour rider” — the requirements of a traveling celebrity/dignitary in a given venue.
Well, this week, The Smoking Gun has also released the rider Senator John Kerry and his wife Teresa Heinz. Aside from being four pages long, the Junior Senator from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts apparently also hates celery (as do I):

Oh, and don’t forget the recumbent bike. It’s not the “regular old stationary bike, don’t you know? Apparently, Senator Kerry also doesn’t like bikes with writing paper on them. I have to believe that’s what the phrase “stationery bike” means. A bike that does not move would be a stationary bike, incidentally. (Don’t people take pride in their work anymore?)
As The Smoking Gun points out in their intro, I find it very slightly ironic that Senator Kerry avoids tomatoes, considering his wife’s fortune exists because of tomato products like ketchup.
What a shock. At least he’s consistent, right?
