WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry seems to be putting himself into the political arena more earnestly and more often. He's been speaking out on the road and on the Hill -- promoting, among other things, his plan to expand health care coverage to all children. On Tuesday, we talked with Kerry in his Senate hideaway for one of the few television interviews he has given since Election Day.

Asked about the stirrings of democracy and elections in the middle-east, Kerry deftly responded;

“I was there in the West Bank the day that the Palestinians voted. And it was -- you couldn't help but be moved and touched by the way in which they took pride in what they were doing and trying to accomplish.”

God almighty is he stoopit!

DEFTLY?

they've gotta be kiddin'

He's been speaking out on the road and on the Hill

Somebody better tell him to get his ass off the road and off the Hill and back into the Senate. Tardy SOB.

Kerry said, The president won by the narrowest margin of any incumbent president winning in history, only because my people thought we had Ohio locked up and didn't use enough dead people to vote

Woodruff: Well, we checked, we looked back into -- and realized that it's been over 100 years since a losing presidential nominee came back to win the White House. It was Grover Cleveland in 1892. Does that history discourage you?

Kerry: I don't know what you're talking -- I mean, I thought Richard Nixon came back from losing and won in 1968. I don't think that's correct research, actually.

Woodruff: Since a losing presidential nominee came back...

Kerry: Yes, Vice President Nixon ran in 1960, lost to President Kennedy and he won the election in...

Woodruff: Four years later was the caveat. I didn't make it clear.

Kerry: Oh, well, I'm not sure.

Woodruff: Four years later.

Bump for later read

Kerry has no clues. He spouts the party line--it's all about Power.

[Clara Lou]

He's delusional. Sounds like he still thinks he can make a run in 2008. PPppptt!!

[Fudd Fan]

"I thought Richard Nixon came back from losing and won in 1968."

I am floored that he could cite that so quickly.

Kerry seems to be putting himself into the political arena more earnestly and more often.. - He hasn't started turning up for work has he?

[Petronski]

That's funny to read, but dreadful television. Given the existence of ANY alternative, I can't imagine sitting down and watching Judy Woodruff...not intentionally.

[pankot]

Ketchup on the brain. 'Nuff said.

[Fudd Fan]

WORK?! Kerry doesn't have to do no stinkin' work

Celsius I presume. BWAHAA!

[rocksblues]

I added that to Kerry's comment but I am betting they did think they had Ohio.

PS: John we are still waiting for you to sign form 180. LIAR!

[Fudd Fan]

"I added that to Kerry's comment but I am betting they did think they had Ohio."

True... but still, the fact that it's so believeable is sad (or maybe I'm completely naive!)
