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.
Hey, watch it. You're talking Texas. Don't mess with Texas.
Fairly meaningless position. There are subcommittees with far more power and influence.
Yeah, first Lieberman and now Kerry. Lot of infighting going on in the dimocRAT party.
"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)."
Any leadership role would cut into his windsurfing time.
ROTFL! Osama Mama's in and Kerry's out.
LOL LOL

So he could draw on his experience as a cookie cook.
He gets it because of his seniority.
Kerry could, if he got pissed enough, switch to the republicans...Shumer better not push him too much!
Agreed, but buisiness chair is a "leadership" position
Jay - don't even write Texas in the same sentence with those two.
The 'leaders' of our country. VOMIT!
Kerry looks so sad back there in the corner all by himself.
Just like he has probably spent most of his life.
Kerry doesn't get mad. He gets even. This is going to get real good real fast.
Funny as heck, looks like John was sent to the corner...but does the John in the second photo look real to you??
