Has John Kerry ever tried to get his way from a service worker by saying, "Do you know who I am?," as some of his detractors claim? I have no idea -- though Jonah Goldberg at National Review Online sure wants me to think it's true.

But, er, Jonah? A word of advice? If you want me to believe that "such tales are not rrare [sic] in the blogosphere," it'd be a tad more convincing if a few more of the hits in the Google search you offer as evidence actually referred to your subject.

Let's see -- we have:

* an anecdote about Australian billionaire Kerry Packer

* some ER fan fiction involving the character Dr. Kerry Weaver;

* some spam quoted in a blog that contains the phrase "do you know who i am";

* an anecdote about Gwyneth Paltrow;

* an anecdote about Prince...

... you get the point.
