John Kerry

in a period when reporter hold people like Paul Ryan in high regard, but so clearly disdain Patty Murray. It is sickening to hear how he has saved the Republican Party (really? When? When he voted for defaulting a few months ago?) but absolutely ignore his partner that was able to hold the bar and prevent cuts to entitlement. Sorry, this is not the topic, but your comment made me think how Senator Murray is an unappreciated Senator, not only by the media, but by the party.

As for CW, sadly, I think it is even worse nowadays. People think things are static and unmovable (until the next crisis when things change and a new immutable reality appears -- for a few weeks ---).

Your comment for Kerry is so true. I have really rarely seen somebody who is true to himself on his values, even if he can evolve on the finer points. It is one of the qualities I appreciate so much.
