Like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Kerry considers himself the rightful heir to the presidency. Kerry's arrogant "sense of entitlement" is a disturbing pre-Revolutionary war image, ala King George IV, that Kerry is totally oblivious to.
Kerry has been planning and scheming to "wear the crown" for so long that he goes ballistic when the rest of America doesn't see it his way.
His arrogance is apparent in that he actually thought he was going to get away with ascending to the presidency on the basis of his Viet service without any questions being raised.
