If you remember the 1984 Zemeckis film, Romancing the Stone, the dashing hero Jack Coulton and the beautiful heroine, romance novelist Joan Wilder, live out an experience that seems ripped from the pages of one of her books. Their story begins with Joan forced to travel to Columbia to rescue her kidnapped sister, and ends with her returning alone to New York to write of her thrilling adventure and lost love.
Of course, life isn't a romance novel.
Unlike Michael Douglas, JK doesn't kill a croc, smoke weed or sail away with Kathleen Turner, but at a book signing event at the Fox Chapel Barnes and Noble, he does have a little fun with the crowd in the Romance section.
Now, I don't know if the Senator should stop writing about government corruption or the environment and switch to steamy fiction, but I do know how all good romance novels end ...
OK, so sometimes life is just a little bit like a romance novel.

Adorable post! I love that goofy Senator in this clip and the happy ending is perfect.
I'll probably play that last clip about a thousand times today!!!

I love it -- I saw that a while back, but thanks for posting it. John Kerry actually is really, really funny, I've noticed. Probably the best kept secret in Washington DC.
And, of course, JK and THK make a great couple. The one time I saw them in person it was obvious that they are a real couple.

Aww! I somehow missed the 2nd clip earlier -- doing too many things at once, no doubt -- but Kerryvisionary told me I had to come back and see it, and it's the best part. Thanks for making it and sharing it!

I was there for the first clip and it was a fun time. The second clip is just so sweet.

Those two clips are wonderful. The first one is funny - the Senator seemed amused by the titles of the books. I loved his comment that he was going to watch and see who went to that section. I wish that people could have seen the amusing, funny, likable person, he is.
The second clip is really sweet, and as usual the song fits absolutely beautifully. Teresa looks gorgeous and very happy.
