Kerry was the canary in the coal mine for the elevation of Obama. An empty suit, who never has anything to offer except standard Leftist talking points and platitudes, came within one state's electoral votes away from the Presidency.
"I have a plan, but you'll have to elect me before I can tell you." IOW, as clueless as Obama, along with Pelosi's "We have to pass it before we can tell you what's in it."
These juvenile delinquents are making us the laughingstocks of the world, and it seems like the worst of the worst are the ones with the safe seats.
I think in C.S. Lewis' CHRONICLES OF NARNIA both Kerry and Obama might qualify for the role of the DONKEY NAMED PUZZLE, who, after being dressed in a lion suit in order to disguise him as Aslan, is persuaded to serve as mouthpiece for the "enlightened apes" ( a.k.a. CPUSA ) in return for a nice warm barn to live in and all the hay he can eat.
