Perhaps we should start a Howie Carr watch 24/7? If anything is to be done about Kerry's senate seat, Mr. Carr will surely be in the thick of it...

Sen. John Kerry could learn something from ex-Gov. Jane Swift.
Namely, shut up! When you’re yesterday’s news and you couldn’t get elected dogcatcher and nobody expects you to do anything, keep your big trap shut and just order another drink - or cruller, as the case may be.
Notice the different ways these two political has-beens have been behaving this week. First, Kerry - he’s in Davos, with the Beautiful People, and he just can’t help himself, can he?
The United States he says, is an “international pariah,” apparently because of the war, which, as we all know, he was for before he was against it.
Then he throws on for good measure, “When we walk away from global warming.”
That would be the Kyoto protocols, a proposed treaty that was defeated in the Senate in 1995 on a 95-0 vote. And one of those 95 no votes came from - this is just too easy, isn’t it? I guess you could say John Kerry was for global warming before he was against it.
What’s the old saying? Sometimes it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.

John Kerry, on the other hand, has learned nothing from the implosion of his political career. As somebody noted, Liveshot is always fighting the last war - he remembers Vietnam, so in 1991 he votes against the first Gulf War, and gets it wrong. So then when it’s time for the second Gulf War in 2003, he recalls how wrong he got it in ’91, so he changes his vote and gets it wrong again.
But he still refuses to hand the manager the ball and head for the showers. He’s Marlon Brando in “On the Waterfront.” He coulda been a contender.
Just because you jet off to Davos and you’re from Massachusetts doesn’t mean you have to act like a moonbat. Two years ago, Rep. Barney Frank called out the then-president of CNN when he claimed, falsely, that U.S. troops in Iraq were targeting journalists.
John “International Pariah” Kerry didn’t need to be in Switzerland for the skiing. He could have gone to his second wife’s first husband’s mansion in Ketchum, Idaho.
Somebody has to sit down with Liveshot and tell him what Jane Swift long since figured out for herself. It’s over. No need to spit on your own country overseas anymore, John, especially when you voted for the policies you now claim you’re so appalled by. He’s been doing it since the Paris peace talks of the early 70’s, but sometimes an old dog does have to learn new tricks.
Maybe Jane Swift draws the short straw to fill Kerry in on the new reality. They could have dinner together, even bring their spouses. I’m sure Mama T and Chuck Hunt could find plenty to talk about.
