DYKWIA

The above acronym stands for Do You Know Who I Am. There are stories floating around out there that Kerry has a serious problem with this. Here's an anecdote from, surprisingly, Dave Barry (yanked from Back of the Envelope, the article isn't available online):

In conclusion, I want to extend my sincere best wishes to all of my opponents, Republican and Democrat, and to state that, in the unlikely event I am not elected, I will support whoever is, even if it is Sen. John Kerry, who once came, with his entourage, into a ski-rental shop in Ketchum, Idaho, where I was waiting patiently with my family to rent snowboards, and Sen. Kerry used one of his lackeys to flagrantly barge in line ahead of us and everybody else, as if he had some urgent senatorial need for a snowboard, like there was about to be an emergency meeting, out on the slopes, of the Joint Halfpipe Committee. I say it's time for us, as a nation, to put this unpleasant incident behind us. I know that I, for one, have forgotten all about it. That is how fair and balanced I am.

I wonder how many of these incidents there are, and whether this will impact his campaign. Makes him seem like kind of a jerk.
