how this is all Kerry's fault. The police, the overly excited student... seem to be secondary to this "Blame Kerry" sentiment that's going around.

Some of the DUers and Randi are certainly making Tucker Carlson's talking point for him.

I feel bad for Senator Kerry. I have been a long time supporter of his and worked hard for him in 2003-2004 but people purposely take him out of context and look to target him all the time. I think he's a brilliant man, who has a hard time expressing himself clearly at times but not always (always is the current bumblehead President) and tries to understand every nuance and shade of grey.

Yet he gets crap for saying Lambert Field (instead of Lambeau), making a comment about the military preying on the uneducated (which is true), his exemplary service in Vietnam and even more exemplary service in attempting to end the fiasco, even conceding the campaign in 2004 (which he had no shot at winning once Carville ran to Bushco and had them call Blackwell to certify the election).

His pretty solid and distinguished Senate record, his role in normalizing relations with Vietnam, his role in taking down the BCCI scandal, his record as a veteran and anti-war protester and all the many, many liberal positions he has taken post-2004 are forgotten.

He is not Ted Kennedy so immediately he's dismissed as the lesser Senator from Massachussetts.

Why we feel the need to tear him down so much puzzles me a bit.

The above context makes it clear, John Kerry did nothing wrong here. If anything he tried his best to overcompensate for this student even when others had been patiently waiting in line and had earned a shot to their questions being answered first.

But I guess we eat our own don't we?

Republicans only do this if gay sex is involved.
