Sen. John Kerry dashed home from the Swiss Alps yesterday to man the barricades of a futile filibuster against Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. Well before he reached the battlefield, however, Democrats had waved the white flag and agreed that next week's vote to confirm Judge Alito will surely succeed. "Everyone knows there is not enough votes to support a filibuster," Minority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, several hours before Mr. Kerry arrived. By midday, Republicans had dubbed Mr. Kerry's international politicking the "Swiss Miss." White House spokesman Scott McClellan called it a "pretty historic" day. "This was the first time ever that a senator has called for a filibuster from the slopes of Davos, Switzerland," Mr. McClellan said. "I think even for a senator, it takes some pretty serious yodeling to call for a filibusters from a five-star ski resort in the Swiss Alps."

Makes one wonder about the advisors Kerry has about him. How can they be that dumb? Or maybe he doesn't listen to them. Wow! He makes huge mistakes in efforts that define him in the media.

This is nothing more than a tactic to advance in the '08 primaries.
It is no different than his "no" vote on the 87 billion appropriation bill that led to the great sound bite that he voted for it before he voted against it.
His vote there was to appeal to the anti victory far left.Without their support his campaign was dead.

His Kerryness knew this was taking shape; if he had really cared he never would have gone to the Alps in the first place.

That's Great!!! On this slow, old computer I'm using the picture of Kerry loaded first, and I thought, "What does that mean, Kerry singing in the rain?", then the effects kicked in and he lit up! Excellent graphic!

Yeah, but does he REALLY care about his obligations to Congress? I doubt it.

Sen. John Kerry dashed home from the Swiss Alps yesterday to man the barricades of a futile filibuster against Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. So did I pay for that flight? I'm betting I did. John F'in Kerry probably hasn't dug into his own pocket to pay for anything in years.
