>>Kerry? Never heard of 'im ; )

Ironically enough, today's Boston Globe had a letter to the editor by him, and at the end it said

JOHN KERRY
Boston

The writer is a senator from Massachusetts.

---
Really! I didn't know that! So the Globe assumes
people don't know who he is! (At least it didn't
say "The writer is the 44th President of the
United States")

"Kerry, in Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum"

He thinks that Alito is worthy of a filibuster, but he's hanging out in Switzerland while the debate is on. I'm about to walk out on this play.

My favorite posters are the ones crying about how they would be confirming Lawrence Tribe if Kerry had been elected. Do they know Tribe is fighting for civil rights for chimpanzees? Does anyone know that?

Obviously the chimps know, they are the parties to the suit and hired Tribe.

Kerry is doing this to attempt to secure the Democrats' most motivated activists for his 2008 primary campaign. He'll use them, then move to the centre if he secures the nomination.

This is an extremely cynical manuever on his part. The DUmmies have been had.

I hope his fellow democrats won't listen, maybe they will listen to Byrd while he is lucid.

Now we wait to see if the Demoratic party follows his suggestion. If they do, they're toast.

John Kerry? John Kerry? Oh yeah, I remember, wasn't he at the Boston Tea Party? No, must have been the American Revolution. That's not right, the War of 1812? Don't tell me, it was the Civl War? Wait a minute, he charged up San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt? The trenches of WWI? No that is not it. WWII at Normandy? Korea? Oh yeah, I remember! John Kerry was in Viet Nam! How did that slip my mind? So many lies, so few facts.

This means Kennedy's staff found their new Anita Hill. And it's - John Kerry.

Democrats always have the worst photo-ops.

And Al Gore looks like he's about to throw up.

Funny, since his speeches always make me sick.
