U.S. Sen. John Kerry yesterday mocked Republicans as “Sarah Palin’s party” even as the New Hampshire Senate candidate she backed claimed victory in Tuesday’s primary and a Tea Party favorite emerged as the GOP’s best hope to break the Democratic stranglehold on the Bay State delegation.
“I think the Tea Party couldn’t ask for any better publicity than to be denounced by a millionaire who dodges paying taxes on his yacht,” said conservative gadfly Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit.
Kerry seized on a Republican rift following Tea Party victories across the country - among them, Palin’s “chosen radical rightwing candidate” GOP U.S. Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell, who triumphed in Delaware over establishment Republican Mike Castle.

And if he is nominated for Secretary of State, he might not breeze through with so many firebrands in the new senate. Buddies like Castle, Murkowski, Crist, and Specter would have voted for him and wouldn’t have the effrontery to ask him questions that he deems beneath him and impertinent.
Nice
Does anyone out there actually CARE what John Kerry thinks or says. Why would anyone put a microphone in front of this hang-dogs’ face?
“Can I get me ah hunt’in license here? Did’ja know I served in Vietnam?” long horse face speaks again.
