latest incident is sort of a "hat trick" for Kerry: flip-flopping, hypocrisy, and more that shows he's "out of touch"...
Republicans piled on John Kerry after the revelation that his wife drives a pricey German Audi import while he's preaching the importance of buying American cars to save U.S. jobs.
"I don't care what car someone drives, but Kerry is a total hypocrite," said Rep. Peter King (R-L.I.), who drives a Mercury.
"If he wants to lead, he should lead by example, and his family should lead by example, and he shouldn't be hiding behind his wife."
Kerrys' many cars include a green Audi Quattro 2001 that records show was made in a high-tech German factory.
"It's part of a distinct pattern of John Kerry running from the truth; John Kerry's rhetoric rarely matches his behavior," said Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel.
When asked last week on Earth Day if he owned a gas-guzzling SUV, Kerry at first insisted "I don't own an SUV," and then reluctantly 'fessed up and said, "The family has it. I don't have it."
