Boston Globe, John Kerry, and the Caymans...

so what's up with that...some repugs are posting this at another site and I can't find anything on it except for the link they posted...

Check out the documents

(snip)
Documents obtained by the Globe detail John Kerry's 1983 investment of between $25,000 and $30,000 in offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands. The document below, signed by Kerry, shows his pledge to purchase 2,470 shares of Peabody Commodities Trading Corp. through Sytel Traders, registered in the Caymans.
(snip)
---------------------------------------------------
Now I know this is the Boston Globe and it's a right-wing piece of toilet paper...but I can't find a thing on this except that site...which tells me that it's a hoax or they are really special people to come accross this...any thoughts...?

Any links...?

2. Read the story again if you still don't get it.

Here's a paraphrase of what Kerry said: "I was trying to save some taxes. My accountant said it was questionable. Since I was a public figure I erred on the side of caution."

4. He has posted it three times

There's also one in GDP2004

Also, a one minute search on altavista for "Kerry" and "Cayman" turns up the article RUMMY posted which explains the whole thing. Basically, it's Whitewater2004. Kerry didn't make a penny. He lost thousands of dollars.

10. Nobody cares

With the 911 commission going full tilt, the economy stagnant and bodies coming back from Iraq by the bushel, do you really believe this piddly little item has a chance to break through into the news cycle?

I didn't think so.
