Scaramouche
That's the name of John Kerry's new yacht. At present, it's safely hidden away in Middleton, Rhode Island. I suppose a $780,000 yacht doesn't play well when you are trying to pass your high-brow self off as a man of the people...it's not always the best way to draw attention.
Any way: the good part is in the name. Steve Gilbert, of American Thinker, looked up the definition of 'Scaramouche' in the Oxford English Dictionary:
Scaramouche, n. 1. (As proper name, with capital S.) A stock character in Italian farce, a cowardly and foolish boaster of his own prowess, who is constantly being cudgelled by Harlequin.
Apropos, don't you think?
