Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), continuing his sharp attacks on the man who beat him in last year's White House race, on Thursday denounced President Bush's budget and his recent nominations of leading conservatives to two high-profile foreign policy posts.
The budget Bush submitted to Congress failed to uphold basic values of "honesty, opportunity and responsibility," Kerry told the Center on National Policy, a Democratic think tank.
In response to a question, Kerry charged that Bush's nomination of Undersecretary of State John R. Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz as president of the World Bank would undermine the administration's efforts to rebuild ties with allies frayed by strains over the war in Iraq.
"Here are two people who come to the jobs quite dismissive of the very fundamental purposes and engagements that those entities have been involved in, and it will be felt in the rest of the diplomacy of this administration," Kerry said.
Kerry's tough words were the latest example of his rapid reemergence as a leading critic of Bush after the presidential contest.
After the 2000 race, Democratic nominee Al Gore did not deliver a speech criticizing Bush until more than a year after his rival's inauguration. Kerry, who has signaled he's considering a second presidential bid in 2008, has been assailing Bush's agenda almost from the moment the president took his hand off the Bible at his second inaugural.
Most recently, Kerry has helped lead the fight against Bush's push to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling. The Senate handed Bush a victory on that front this week, voting to allow the drilling as part of a bill that could not be blocked by a Democratic-led filibuster.

Thank God the guy in the towel isn't allowed to hold the weapons!
Gee! If he had been that fierce against the Viets he might have EARNED some medals.
He was in Vietnam? Where on earth did you hear about that?
Why, didn't you know? He served longer than anyone else. Went in in the 1960's and wasn't "honorably" discharged until the late 1970's.
Didn't he sink a U-Boat in Cambodia?

I was scared to death. I can't believe that John Kerry made it as far as he did! Thank God, Bush won! We have to continue to fight to keep these idiots out of power.
Well he was ordered to by then-President Nixon.
"Aww shaddup, go home your wife is calling you."
"We, along with many others, are calling upon every Veteran, every American citizen, and every organization to send a letter and the 180 to Senator Kerry asking him to sign it, as he said."
Senator Kerry is trying to obstruct ANWAR and is championing a bill for cradle to grave insurance for "th' children". Call your elected and tell them no more entitlements that are unconstitutional and expensive piggy backers and to Drill ANWAR!
What an idiot John Kerry is proving to be to those who thought he wasn't!
<< John who? >>
Precisely.
[Next?]
<< Al Gore reincarnate. >>
Fabulists and potentially very very very dangerous dullards of the world unite -- you have only the knowledge to share that neither of you ever had a snow ball's chance in Hell of fooling all of the people all of the time.
Thank God!
It has been 48 days since you publicly stated you would "soon" sign DD Form 180 authorizing the release of your military records.
Please advise us when we can expect to see them.
"Will the "Move On" FReepers EVER learn? PING "
Well, Tonk, you were right. It's just that simple.
I had initially thought (although I had not posted this) that it would be fine by me if (in the inestimable words of St. Ann Coulter) John Kerry would just go away.
But he doesn't go away.
The rest of us were of the MoveOn opinion. However, you were right. We should continue to hound him out of the senate.
John Kerry has done something extremely difficult.
He's made Algore look good.
Who's John Kerry? Oh, that's the guy that spent some time in Vietnam.
And while you're at it, get that man a Form 180 to sign!
