ABC's Z. Byron Wolf Reports: For anyone who needed more evidence that Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) is out of favor with Democrats, it appeared that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) kicked him out of the Democrats' leadership walk on Tuesday.
As the new Senate leaders departed from the Old Senate Chamber on their way to the Ohio Clock Corridor to talk about their agenda, the election of the leaders, and Iraq, John Kerry -- not a member of the new leadership -- walked out of the room behind new Majority Leader Harry Reid, Majority Whip Dick Durbin, Caucus Secretary Patty Murray and Caucus Vice-Chair Schumer. It is, after all, a public hallway in the Senate.
This reporter was standing with a scrum of journalists as Democrats left their caucus. It appeared that when Schumer noticed Kerry behind him, he turned around said something to Kerry.
We obviously don't know what Schumer said, but Kerry stopped in his tracks, watched the four Democratic leaders walk on without him, and when then he ducked between two of the marble statues in the hallway, which leads from the old Senate Chamber to the new Senate floor. Someone trying to project might say that Schumer had told Kerry to get the heck out of the leadership shot and Kerry, after digesting the request for a moment, did it.
Kerry loaded his pants.
Probably told him to go play with his pogo stick.
Chucky bi!#h slapping Kerry?
Of course Kerry is used to it from Teresa.
Maybe Frenchy would like another Purple Heart for that one.
"Liveshot, I read your FBI files."
I'll bet that hurt worse than anything he experienced in "nam
Patty Murray??? (hanging head and shaking it)
LOL! They gave Kerry the Lieberman treatment....
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. /sarcasm off
Very interesting. I've seen the photo several times here on FR, but I didn't know that he'd been (apparently) shunned by Schumer. But why would Kerry listen to Schumer anyway? They're both Communist a**holes with egos bigger than Texas.
LOL
Kerry can kiss his '08 bid goodbye. Dems have found their key to victory... run moderates.
I bet Teresa whips his a-- just for kicks.
"Majority Leader Harry Reid, Majority Whip Dick Durbin, Caucus Secretary Patty Murray and Caucus Vice-Chair Schumer."
*shudder*
Just so you don't miss the moment.
"John, we need more ketchup."
"Kerry loaded his pants."
Nancee
This is really amazing. Kerry was their presidential nominee in 2004, but he's been relegated to the role of a back bencher (where he's always been).
If Kerry is persona nongrata why did they give him a leadership position as small business chair?
"I coulda been first lady..."
