Senator John Kerry (D-MA)

Yes, I actually received an e-mail response from an aide of the man who may well be the next President of the United States. Remember, this came in nearly a year ago, when things looked very different for Kerry than they do right now:

Dear John - The following is a joke that Senator Kerry has been using recently at public speaking engagements. I hope it is helpful with your project and that you realize your dream of becoming a comedian (although you will probably need better material than this!) Good luck.
Sincerely
[Name]
Office of Senator John Kerry
Joke : "We have a new Chaplain in the Senate and a tour came through the other day. They asked him a lot of questions about being Chaplain and one person turned to him and asked: "When you open the Senate with prayer each morning, do you look out at the Senators and pray for them?" The Chaplain didn’t lose a beat – he said "No, actually I look out at all those Senators and I pray for the country."
