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.

Just wants his time on the floor of the Senate to bash the President. Vote NO in person, and continue on making a jackass of himself.
Going to be interesting to see if Senator Byrd has any influence at all with his cohorts.

His European trip as reported in the news sounds so pathetic - it just screams "I'm really president, honest!" Will someone remind him that he lost?

because of pressing business in the US Senate in WashingtonROFLOL!
As CNN reported Kerrys plans to filibuster Alitos confirmation to the Supreme Court, the liberal People For the American Way reacted with glee to the news. Kerrys cohort from Massachusetts, Sen. Teddy Kennedy, also offered encouragement.

Look, call me a whatever but how many days in the last year or so has Kerry actually been in the Senate? You know, actually answered the role call? I mean, he was elected to the U.S. Senate,right?

He was obviously in Davos campaigning with his constituents for the 2008 US Presidential election.

he is 14 years old...look at him. Neither he nor Clinton ever grew up. I wonder if he's going to be buried still wearing that yellow wrist band?
Showing support is one thing, but it would be nice if he supported America!
