Just now I was watching the Kerry speech, as he wes delivering a very informative history lesson on the Shia/Sunni conflict in Iraq and I sensed he was going to deliver an opnion on a direction for Iraq based on his take.

Apparently CNN felt that we didn’t need to hear it and cut him off and advised us that they would get back to Kerry, live, when he delivers the announcement that we all KNOW is coming.  
FUCK !!!

Apparently his opinions don’t matter any more.

Why, it’s almost as if he’s a mere senator.

It always did take him too long to get to the point. Maybe he can have John Edwards tell it to us.

Well, perhaps to “make up” for it, CNN has been showing an awful lot of the interview in which Dick Cheney flips out on Wolf Blitzer. And let’s get real: the Vice President’s disconnect with reality is infinitely more entertaining than John Kerry talking about… well, anything.
