Didn’t he and his buddy Harkin get all tingly with Ortega back in the 80s?
Yes, come to think of it. A thrill ran up their legs all the way to their buttocks.
Worse -
He was, lets say, passive when he and Lugar were sent to observe the Philippine elections in 1986. Lugar correctly saw them as a sham, and raised hell, being instrumental in getting the US government to back the Philippine opposition. Kerry ignored the Filipinos who were petitioning him to intervene, and only got on board when Lugar made him.
He basically doesn’t give a rats xxx. Its all US politics to him.
