It also shows how much better things could be. The respect that they showed each other should be the norm. (The obvious friendship went beyond that,) This was a very generous thing that Warner did. It also did allow Kerry to get much more on record and it signaled that he thought Kerry's work deserved serious discussion.

It must be embarrassing for the more thoughtful Republicans to see people like Sessions, Allard and Inhofe attack someone like John Kerry using name calling and slogans. Kerry has done nothing to deserve the lack of respect that they extend and Warner knows that.

Warner also fed Kerry the opportunity of speaking compassionately, and not in an exploitive way way about the men killed.
