kerry and clinton share many qualities, including cowardice, egomania, opportunism (they are both always on the make), as well as the same type of cognitive deficiency, i.e., the inability to analyze and prioritize. (see edith efron, c. 1994, 'can the president think?')
These defects manifest themselves as inaction by default. (Do not confuse flip-flop with action.)
