Reading this makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. I've never read such a defensive, self-serving, twisted sack of crap that this speech.
Kerry is less than useless. This election is both the apex and the nadir of his political career.
When his records are leaked and they will be, it will be the end of the junior senator from MA. Mitt Romney will take his seat handily if he chooses to run. Kerry won't even try against Romney, he'll resign oops, retire, oops run away, oops, go into consulting on K Street in DC-whew got it right.
