<\/a>The names keep popping up.<\/p>\n

Bob Kerrey, former Senator from Nebraska, is being talked up as a possible John Kerry running mate option.<\/p>\n

His “star” just “rose” after his 9\/11 Investigation performance this week, where it is said he was tough, judicious, and fair (bi-partisan in his criticism toward both the Bush and Clinton administrations).<\/p>\n

There were two moments from yesterday’s questioning that it is at least possible to imagine that Kerrey was telegraphing political messages, seemingly at odds with one another:<\/p>\n

All of us who have provided background briefings for the press before should beware.<\/a> I mean, Fox should say ‘occasionally fair and balanced’ after putting something like this out, because they violated a serious trust.<\/i><\/p>\n

Fox News is, of course, the RNC News Network<\/a>… and this criticism does not go unnoticed with the Democratic base.<\/p>\n

Quote #2, just asserting a hawkish stand that John F. Kerry will more than likely want to attach himself toward:<\/p>\n

And secondly, I don’t see it as you do, that the war in Iraq has increased the threat of terrorism. I honestly don’t. <\/p>\n

Unless you say that the threat of terrorism in Iraq is unquestionably gone up as a consequence of Al Qaida feeling even more opposition to freedom in Iraq than they do in freedom in the United States. <\/p>\n

They feel much more threatened by having an Arab democracy than they do by having a democracy in the United States. <\/i><\/p>\n

Second figure to watch for.<\/p>\n

AND… Zbigniew Brzezinski<\/a> might be telegraphing his desire to be part of a Kerry administration, travelling the lecture circuit in support of his new book… Brzezinski of this<\/a> fame. <\/p>\n

Confidence-inspiring, ain’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
