I had a rich list for Kerry’s dues in my Schadenfreude list of which I’ll quote my favorite
John Kerry says Republican John McCain doesn’t have the judgment to be president.
If that’s the case, then it’s probably a good thing McCain rejected overtures from Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, to form a bipartisan ticket and run with Kerry as his candidate for vice president.
For the record, Kerry is not among those being mentioned as possible running mates for McCain.
I haven’t feeling much like blogging today as the news of the day is not something I can digest.
But finally, WaPo brought me out with a delicious headline
It Hurts To Be John Kerry Today
It goes on
It must have been painful, but at least it was classy.
The Massachusetts senator had once been considered the frontrunner to be Obama’s secretary of state. Then suddenly he wasn’t, when Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton‘s (D-N.Y.) name surprisingly surfaced for the job.
This was the guy who, when debating his primary opponent this year boasted his major achievement: “I was one of the first to endorse Obama”
And I was one of the last to forget what you did with my 2004 vote John. Al least today, you fell a fraction of what I felt. Had I been in charge of headlines at WaPo, I could have improved a bit
SUCKS TO BE YOU, EH, JOHN?
Update
More merriment from No Quarter with new sources
If you’re Kerry, you’ve got to be feeling a bit like the Rev. Jeremiah Wright – thrown under the Obama bus, while ex-rivals climb merrily aboard.
and
Sen. John Kerry is angry and disappointed about not being considered a serious candidate for Barack Obama’s secretary of state.
“He’s pretty PO’d,” said Someone Who Knows. “After going from the early front-runner to not even being considered, he’s pretty disappointed.”

I’m still not over how JK became the nominee in 2004.

Oh, becoming the nominee was the least of his offenses. November 4 deed and this year “don’t cover the Florida primary – they don’t count”

Kerry and Bush both belong to the occult Skull and Bones society. 2004 was a Bonesman vs. Bonesman election– and perhaps a symbol of the state to which this country is reduced.

Maybe Kerry didn’t want this position (so what if all his aides sy he was crying in his pillow?). Why would he want to be a subordinate to Obama especially on foreign policy when he knows so much more than our new president does on matters of state. Also, perhaps the timing wasn’t right now, perhaps later on it might be something to consider.
One way or the other though, Senator Kerry would have made a great SOS, Clinton may be alright with her husband plugging her, but Kerry would have make a truly great SOS-he could have hit the ground running on the first day, making jokes to make the world cringe and apologizing for them the next day. I always loved Kerry’s apologies!
