WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen.

Kerry, in Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum, was marshaling support in phone calls during the day, Henry said.

Kerry: "Impeach Bush, filibuster Alito, withdraw from Iraq, send enriched uranium to Iran, and elect me President!"

If this goes nowhere, Kerry is doomed. Running in '08 would be too embarassing even for him.

So the Dems have to weigh the value of a futile filibuster vs. getting rid of Lurch in '08.

Feinstein will probably vote for cloture as well.

Dammit, Diane, stick to your guns! And I do mean "your" guns. The ones that are too good for us little people.

POSTED THIS A WHILE AGO KERRY TO FILIBUSTER

Even in print, Kerry rambles on and on and on. It takes him pages and multiple paragraphs of gobbledygook to reach his point: "... I cannot support his nomination, and I hope that none of my colleagues will either."

Wait a second. I just heard that LURCH isn't even there. He's in France skiing or something. What's he doing? Phoning the filibuster in from the slopes?!

I think he served in Vietnam, but I can't be sure.

I say keep those desperate dims crying.......

The louder they scream the more they sound like the school yard Bully, who has no friends, no self esteem and very little credibility.
