It doesn't matter if he appointed Mother Theresa, somebody wouldn't approve. I'm not a supporter of GWB, but I'd bet if Barrack Obama were president and appointed Dr. Kussman, Kerry wouldn't slam him. Just more political BS, IMO
Could be midknightrider, but I have this basic disrespect for characters like Gomer Pyle. For one thing the character represents STUPID. For another Kerry has a long History of not playing along with the crowd. Of course I am awed by John Kerry, and have been ever since he sat in a Congressional Hearing, as a very young man, and told them exactly what he thought of the War in Vietnam. I gained respect for him when he went against the advice of the Democrats and brought the criminal activities of BCCI to the attention of the prosecutors. I gained more respect for him when the crew of his Swift Boat in Vietnam, decades after serving under him, stood behind him in a show of support for his run for the Presidency. His actions since the 2004 defeat in that race, as a Senator, have been impressive, and under reported. I listen when Kerry Speaks, and in nearly every instance that he has spoken he has been RIGHT.
