I think he generally likes the good Senator. His coverage of the epic '96 Senate race was really, really funny. (Ahm, well it was.)

I thought Senator Kerry did a very good job on this interview. He repeated his support for a regional summit to get the people involved in the region involved in bringing solutions to this crisis. He took on Al-Hakim and called him on his words at the White House today. (Blaming Sunnis for what has happened and absolving Shiites. As the good Senator said, this kind of squabbling must end.)

Kerry was very good. He was particularly good at explaining that the troops are not the war. (Something he knows by heart.) Service to one's country is a very noble thing. Taking that service and using it for a misguided and wrong policy is betrayal at the highest levels of government. I thought that came across very well.
