Kerry is not liked by the press. They know he is a condescending, pontificating bore and do not want to spend months on press planes and buses covering his campaign.

"Kerry is not liked by the press. They know he is a condescending, pontificating bore and do not want to spend months on press planes and buses covering his campaign>"

If he can beat Bush, the press will do stunts that make the ones on Fear Factor look like child's play.

Trust me on this one!

I haven't been keeping an archive on Kerry because the search engine on Free Republic is very effective. However, if it looks like he will actually be a serious contender perhaps I ought to do a DSL type accumulation of excerpts for easier access...

Kerry blocked Law, Drew Cash

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON - A Senate colleague was trying to close a loophole that allowed a major insurer to divert millions of federal dollars from the nation's most expensive construction project. John Kerry (news - web sites) stepped in and blocked the legislation.

Over the next two years, the insurer, American International Group, paid Kerry's way on a trip to Vermont and donated at least $30,000 to a tax-exempt group Kerry used to set up his presidential campaign. Company executives donated $18,000 to his Senate and presidential campaigns.

Were the two connected? Kerry says not.

But to some government watchdogs, the tale of the Massachusetts senator's 2000 intervention, detailed in documents obtained by The Associated Press, is a textbook case of the special interest politicking that Kerry rails against on the presidential trail.

"The idea that Kerry has not helped or benefited from a specific special interest, which he has said, is utterly absurd," said Charles Lewis, head of the Center for Public Integrity that just published a book on political donations to the presidential candidates.

"Anyone who gets millions of dollars over time, and thousands of dollars from specific donors, knows there's a symbiotic relationship. He needs the donors' money. The donors need favors. Welcome to Washington. That is how it works."

The documents obtained by AP provide a window into Kerry's involvement in a two-decade-old highway and tunnel construction project in his home state of Massachusetts. Known as the "Big Dig," it had become infamous for its multibillion dollar cost overruns.


Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

I've reworked the "priceless" piece since first posting it. The one above is displaying at the original size, hence why it appears distorted. Here i the current version, with proper proportions:
