WASHINGTON - Sen. John Kerry [related, bio], D-Mass., whose condemnation of the Bush administration's Iraq policies was a cornerstone of his presidential campaign, was one of two senators to vote against the nomination of Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state Wednesday.
Kerry said Rice, who has served as Bush's national security adviser, was a principal architect and defender of Iraq policies that alienated U.S. allies and failed to make the country safer.
``Regrettably, I did not see in Dr. Rice's testimony any acknowledgment of the need to change course or of a new vision for America's role in the world,'' said Kerry. ``On Iraq, on North Korea, on Iran, to name just a few of the most critical challenges, it seems to be more of the same.''
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy [related, bio], D-Mass., also plans to vote against Rice's nomination.
His spokeswoman, Stephanie Cutter, said Rice ``had a major role in developing the irresponsible and reckless Iraq policy, and its been a catastrophic failure, a continuing quagmire. She shouldn't be promoted to Secretary of State.''
Irrelevant Senators from an irrelevant Commonwealth.
I'm sure Condi accepts this for what it is...a badge of honor!
Heard on the news today of a possible dirty bomb in Boston. Guess it was a false alarm. Gotta wonder though who would waste their time with a state that is in the process of destroying itself as it is.
Well boo-hoo! You could almost see Ketchupman crying in his latte because he lost & can only carp & whine now. Ditto that nut case from CA. I tell, ya, If Kim il Jung was in a bunker about to be overrun, he could count on Barbara to save his cahones!
Wouldn't be news if they voted FOR her
I'm getting pretty damn sick of these idiots.
It is sad that a state that had once produced great men like John Adams, John Quincy Adams, John Hancock, and Paul Revere is now being represented by these two lowlifes.
You mean cajones, amigo.
Ditto, but then again, ol Kim is probably the only demo that has a pair, right?
Why the Bush family honored fatso Kennedy at a gala a few years ago is beyond me.
The other Senators are all women, yes.
Who are they/
All they need is another K to make it more obvious.
OF COURSE those rich, racist, white patricians who were born with silver spoons in their mouths will vote against a black woman who grew up the hard way in Birmingham, Alabama and worked hard to become the most powerful woman in the world. Duh.
Doesn't it make you wonder why it is the two K's home state where this bomb is supposed to be??? Trying to detract from the inauguration???
Gee, wonder who could be the unknown source of this info?
Isn't Kennedy driving a car while on drugs being reckless? Was leaving a young lady to drown in his car being Responsible? The man is despicable in the extreme!
