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.

filibuster ..thirty hours over the weekend

That is thirty hours not listening to Teresa's ongoing filibuster about his shortcomings and failures as a husband. :-)

not my words either - probably would have read something like.

"Willy Wonka, John "F"ing Scary and other Corrupt"O"Crats collectively hook-up in a eurostyle circle jerk"

Ya that fits better

Did you see the list of others in Davos?

http://www.nationalreview.com/impromptus/impromptus200601250837.asp

Care for some U.S. politicians? No, what I mean is: Care to hear who among them has come to Davos? You have Senators Biden, Chambliss, Smith, and Sununu. You can't imagine Joe Biden wanting to participate in a talkfest, can you? Oh, I have left out a senator: John Kerry. He is Davos's president manqué. And remember when Kerry told us, during the '04 campaign, that "the world" really wanted him to be president? He was right, in one sense (the Davosian world).

I can see him now, on the brow of a Swiftboat at full throttle, in that “Washington crosses the Delaware stance”, headed up the Potomac”.

"$oro$?"

That is who I was thinking of, the only legal lobbyists provided for under MacCain/Feingold.

Every time I hear Abramhoff, I want to scream $0r0$.

:-) I caught that too. Kathryn Jean Lopez also said that Kerry made his pinheaded announcement 3 minutes after Jay had filed his Impromptus

If he comes back here to filibuster Sam Alito

John Kerry is toast politically. Now, he's trying to get a petition going so more Senators support the fillibuster. That fillibuster would only help Republicans (1) by alienating everyone with values Catholics are supposed to espouse and (2) but stopping discussion of the real issues that might actually change voters to the (D) column come November.

I'm beginning to wonder about the correlation between functional IQ and a Yale diplomma.

There is no skiing near Ulster....

That's the main reason he is in Davos..... Just another taxpayer funded ski vacation and a chance to hang out with Soros.

Kerry has never said a prestigious word in his life.

Maybe they were using the archaic definition:

1 archaic : of, relating to, or marked by illusion, conjuring, or trickery

Ireland is so disappointed that the very French American Kerry will not be coming to their country to surrender.
