Family: the most special special interest

From today's NY Post Page Six:

February 9, 2004 -- ON Wednesday, we reported that John Kerry's younger brother, Cameron, is such a longtime loyal supporter of his brother's political career that he was arrested in 1973, while Kerry was running for Congress, for breaking into a political opponent's headquarters. Apparently loyalty abounds among the Kerry siblings. During the Clinton/Gore administration, says a source, the senator procured a political patronage job for his sister, Peggy Kerry. When George W. Bush took office, Kerry "frantically finagled" for Peggy to be given a civil service title so that she could stay employed. She now works in the public affairs office of the U.S. Mission to the United Nations and actively supports her brother's bid for the presidency in her time off — she could be seen standing behind him on television as he swept the New Hampshire primary. In other words, she defends Bush's foreign policy by day and campaigns against it by night. And isn't this the same John Kerry who's vowed to "end the era of special interests"?

Wow...a whole Kerry article that didn't mention Vietnam. Oops!
