TiVo la France? (Jacques Chirac wants to enter the news biz. The world won't be watching-JOHN FUND)

John Kerry met with France's President Jacques Chirac last Friday, part of the senator's fact-finding mission to Europe and the Middle East. Details of their talk weren't revealed, but there is little doubt both men felt a sense of disappointment that Mr. Kerry hadn't won November's election.

Fact finding mission, huh? First Iraq. Now France.

Doesn't this guy know he lost the election and is still just a senator from Taxachusetts? Maybe he should actually start acting like a senator and actually spend some time in the senate (for things other than anti-Bill of Rights votes).

It always amazes me what liberal northeast voters will tolerate.
