John Kerry postpones Ulster visit
Former US presidential candidate John Kerry has been forced to pull plans to visit the North this weekend.
The Democratic Massachusetts senator, who challenged President George Bush unsuccessfully in the 2004 election, was due to visit the University of Ulster in Derry to deliver a prestigious lecture on security in the 21st century.
He was also expected to meet a number of the North's politicians during his visit to the Magee Campus in Derry.
University authorities have been told to postpone his lecture because of pressing business in the US Senate in Washington.

Mr Kerry would have joined a distinguished list of guest speakers who have delivered lectures under a series commemorating veteran Democratic politician Tip ONeill.
They include former US president Bill Clinton, United Nations secretary general Kofi Annan and ex-European Commission president Romano Prodi.

The second day of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting promised a blend of celebrity and brass tacks talk of the issues facing the global community, ranging from security against terror to advancing human rights and the struggle against poverty and disease.

If he comes back here to filibuster Sam Alito, Bill Frist better make him keep his worthless ass on the Senate Floor all weekend.

Typo correction of course "were" should be where.

And a goodly amount of America bashing, if the past conferences are any indication.

LOL. He needs to rush back so his Dem colleagues can rip him a new one for pulling his filibLuster stunt. They will make him filibuster for 30 hours over the weekend in the empty Senate chambers before they vote overwhelmingly to shut him down on Monday.
Alito vote, Tuesday 11:30AM.

[Kerry was] to deliver a prestigious lecture I am missing something here. How does a lecture become prestigious? Especially a pre-delivered lecture?

This really is just shameful.
You know some handler of monkey-boy Kerry has seen the polling on the number of people that refuse to vote for Hillary in 2008, and advised Kerry to come back and lead a futile assault on Alito by means of filibuster to reinvigorate the Looney Left, in hopes of getting Kerry the nomination in 2008.
Monkey-boy, you are SOOOooooo yesterday's news.......

Just in case we fail to notice how prestigious this lecture will be, the media clues us in, in advance.

He's notorious for it. The public remains unimpressed.
