Will he say "John Kerry reporting for duty" when he shows up at the confirmation hearing?
That would be cooool ....

 

[Trajan]

It's not like the GOP can win in Massachusetts. Scot Brown was a once in a lifetime thing.

It took a hell of a lot of money to barely beat Brown. I could see him winning a special election with the upside being you'd probably see Kerry's run as a politician end. If I were a Republican in the Senate, I'd be angling towards that outcome. It's just good sense.

or they could change the rules again..or change them back, fuck I forget how ( for teddys vacancy) the rules changed last time.....

edit- dels got it.

whats the over/under on legislative flip flops on this?

in almost any situation, you can count on john kerry to look like a complete fuckwit.

he knows how to pick wives, though

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Ah so, now Republicans are saying that John Kerry would have no problem getting the SOS nod.

Really now?

Why is that?

Oh wait..he's a sitting senator in a state which requires a special election to fill the seat.

I would say, "Well played" had they not tipped their hand so soon.

Now?

Baaahahahahahahahahaha...

Ya never mind that this predates the election and before anyone knew Scott Brown would lose. Never mind that historically Brown was an exception to the usual democratic Senators. Never mind that if he doesn't get Sec of State he is being talked about as head of the Department of Defense.

Just ignore all that and your little conspiracy might make sense.

Yeah but I'm sure a couple times a year she makes him do the deed....

That can't be good....

 

[Trajan]

Heh..no one?

Guess this is like saying, "The sky is blue.."

I'll bite...

Yep...well played by the GOP. I would expect the Democrats to do the same. It is what happens in Washington. Only a fool or a liar would deny it.

It's kind of new that the opposing party thinks they should be deciding the President's cabinet. But then again..Obama's whole Presidency has been an exercise in just how low you can go when disrespecting the opposing party's President.

I seriously hope that they don't start acting wounded next time around when their guy is subject to this..

right becasue obama has treated them with utmost respect

and now the whining will start, as the reps will not help and try and hinder the enactment ( when they write the rules) Obama care, becasue you know, that was such a bipartisan piece of legislation.....

 

[Sallow]

Is this the John Kerry that served in Viet Nam?

yes, then he spent christmas 1968 in cambodia at president nixon's insistence

That's just impossible.

Nixon denied that the US was involved in aggression against Cambodia and Laos.

Yep.

I am sure Obama was asking McCain and Romney for their birth certificates.

And it must have been Reid postulating that Romney had anti colonial mindset that was foreign to America's values.

 

[auditor0007]

You mean the same John Kerry who backed up Bush's Claims that Iraq had WMD's

"The obligation of a Commander in Chief is to keep our country safe. In Iraq, George Bush has overextended our troops and now failed to secure 380 tons of deadly explosives. The kind used for attacks in Iraq, and for terrorist bombings. His Iraq misjudgments put our soldiers at risk, and make our country less secure. And all he offers is more of the same. As President, I'll bring a fresh start to protect our troops and our nation. I'm John Kerry and I approved this message."

God he was a terrible candidate for President.

He came closer to winning than Romney did.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I don't know about that. Brown has over a 50% approval rating. I think had this not been a presidential election year, particularly one in which minority participation was historically high due to us having a black president, he would have won a full term.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

it really doesn't matter because even if kerry does leave office early, the legislature will change the law (again) to allow the gov to appoint someone to fill out the term.

No, they talked about doing that again when Teddy died and they backed away from it. I don't think they'll try it again.

I saw republican senators say that a Kerry nomination would get through pretty easily..

These are the same folks that painted him as an anti-american traitor determined to bring down the US government in favor of the North Vietnamese.

Now, they think he'd be a good SOS?

Color me shocked.

more importantly, nixon wasn't president in 1968

oops

they'll do it. they actually changed the law when teddy died if you recall; the law they put in in 2004 had no provision for someone to temporarily hold the seat until the special election, yet they put someone in anyway.

Well there is that.

I mean the time between 1968 and 1969 is what..a decade or more..right?
