"Sen. Kerry's going to find his own role,'' Reid (D-Nev.) said at a press conference. ``Sen. Kerry is not a shrinking violet.''

No, he's a shrinking pink, judging by his favored shade of lipstick.

Note the verbs -- Kerry:

darted
brushed off
snapped
did not address
dispatching [an aide]
remaining vague

"He's crying because due to all the campaign publicity he had to show up for work after 20 years."

Yeppers. He's a lazy one that John Effin Loser. How many years does he have until re-election? Maybe Bush should just make him Ambassador to some French Speaking Island Nation, he can loll about all day. Maybe Haiti?

[Fred Nerks]

Senegal? They speak french there, too.

[The Red Zone]

Why hide from a softball-tossing press?

[daddyOwe]

I'm surprised he even showed up. He has been MIA for a long time,but he is fighting for the working people.(right)

[Freebird Forever]

After reading this article the Beatles tune "Nowhere Man" comes to mind.

[Moonmad27]

I'm still wondering why he had to take out a mortgage on that Boston place to support his campaign when his wife is worth a gazillion dollars. Not that it matters now, thank goodness!

[MinuteGal]

I'll just bet he spent the day working on legislation for the next congress.

If he really was, which I doubt, we should all duck for cover next year.

He will need to see whose 'left' at the CIA, and now the State Department... and offer jobs to the leakers and book writers leaving.

Massachusetts bump.

So glad to have our lazy arrogant liberal jr. Senator back on the job. What did he say the other day...he was going to bring all his "passion and emotion" to being a player in the Senate. At least he won't have a Secret Service guy to bump into next week while he's boarding in Sun Valley.

....(Kerry) brushed off reporters who waited hours outside his office. Asked by one what the senator missed most or least about the campaign trail, Kerry replied, ``I'm not going to do an interview right now.'' After snapping ``What?'' at another journalist, who again inquired what Kerry was up to, he replied, ``Work.''

(Sniffle), Gosh, Kerry is so "tolerant and compassionate" (sob).

[fortunecookie]

He's got a lot of stuff to do; he's missed work for almost a year and has to make up for the paychecks he cashed.

LOL. Make up work. I needed a laugh. (You were being facetious, right?) He is all about entitlement. Not only has he missed nearly a year of work, but his record prior to this was 76% absentee. And then mostly to vote for tax increases, vote against defense spending and vote for abortion. That being said, he'd better rest up because Pres Bush wants to tackle those very issues - taxes, defense and abortion. Kerry may have to show up more frequently than 24% of the time.

How's he gonna pay off that mortgage on his Beantown brownstone.....

He's going to make TV ads on gun safety.

"This is how I earned all my medals for bravery in Vietnam."

[fortunecookie]

Poor John. Little wonder he's hiding. He has been a little testy, but I managed to get his pic...

[Jackknife]

"can't wait till he gets post election insane Al Gore syndrome"

It won't be long .... He's a ticking time-bomb.

[Capt.YankeeMike]

this guy is a clown...he never shows up for work.
can his candy ass....

"Former Kerry running mate Sen. John Edwards [related, bio] did speak at the luncheon, encouraging his colleagues to find a way to let voters in ``red'' states know that Democrats are on their side."

Hmmm, how about proving yourself through such silly actions like tax cuts, fiscal responsibility and just saying "No Mo'" to homos for starters?

``Sen. Kerry's going to find his own [h]ole,'' Reid (D-Nev.) said at a press conference.

[gortklattu]

He's aiming at the wrong vietnam veteran.
