Long Island may be one of the few playgrounds of the rich where John Kerry doesn't have a home, but Chrenkoff locates the Senator there in spirit with this paraphrase from the conclusion of The Great Gatsby:

"Kerry believed in the international green light, the orgiastic multilateral future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us in the past, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch our arms further... And one fine morning.- So we beat on, Swift Boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past (that's seared - seared - in Kerry's memory)."
