61. I don't feel sorry for John Kerry.....especially if
the "Times" cry in your fries article is correct about this heree....

In the heady days before the election, Kerry's top aides sat around picking a cabinet(one plan was to ask Colin Powell to stay on as secretary of State, thereby avoiding a massive power struggle between Sen. Joe Biden and Democratic foreign-policy wise man Richard Holbrooke).

If this paragraph is accurate, that lets me know all about what a Kerry Presidency would have been like.

To be that "scared" of controversy or attempting to avoid a "power struggle" at the cost of doing nothing does not smell like "leadership" to me.

Keeping Powell would have telegraphed such weakness on Kerry's and the Democrats' part, it would not have even been funny.

Hope it's a big media lie!
