Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., embraces his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry after delivering his concession speech at Faneuil Hall in Boston Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2004. Kerry must now decide what to do with the rest of his political life. While he relaxed at his Boston home, friends, colleagues and presidential historians said they didn't see the Democrat fading into political obscurity like the last Massachusetts politician who ran and lost.

"Former US presidential challenger John Kerry plans to use his Senate seat and Democrat supporters to remain a major voice in American politics despite his election loss."

Now, has anybody told the dear old commie that he has to actually SHOW UP in the Senate Chamber to do his job?

And even when he does show up, he sponsors what, one bill every four years? Some fighter.

That pretentious smile on Kerry's face can't hide his self pity. Looks like the great American 'hero' wants to weep over himself.

OK, rhetorical question, I know...

But to "remain" a force, wouldn't one had to have actually "been" a force before.

Or is it, I was a force before I wasn't a force?

"I'm a fighter" and "I'm a closer" are the biggest urban myths since the poodle and the microwave. he wasn't a closer, and being untested nationally, it was actually impossible to tell one way or the other. and his "fighting" was perceived as uninformed whining.

"I'm a bleeder; don't sit in the first four rows from ringside" (to pursue the metaphor) would have been much closer to the truth.

we only need five or six converts from across the aisle now, as opposed to 11 or 12.

seems to me I recall that Team Bush was able to muster 55 votes for Estrada . . .

In Kerry's case it is...

May the farce be with you (or not).

What an arrogant idiot to even
ponder an '08 run. He was the
DEFAULT candidate, He seems to
have forgotten THAT.

*Jedi Hand Motion* "This president George Bush is not the one you're looking for"

The people speak: "Why are you waving your hand around like that? Do you think you're a contender or something? Your tricks only work on the weak-minded!"
