An angry Senator John Kerry is also an entertaining John Kerry. And on ABC's This Week yesterday, Kerry provided us with a lot of comedy entertainment including his assertion that John McCain was forced to pick Sarah Palin as his running mate by Rush Limbaugh and "the rightwing." There are a lot of other comedy nuggets in this interview conducted by This Week host George Stephanopoulos who fails to challenge Kerry on most of his absurdities including the notion that that merely traveling though countries overseas on a brief campaign stint counts as foreign policy experience.

What John McCain has proven with this choice is that John McCain is a prisoner of the rightwing, not a maverick.
:rotf: :whatever:
I think Sen. sKerry (D-Viet Nam) has had what Frank calls a 'cerebral event'.
