Kerry's comments on the SOTU

[Mass]

I also noted that the cameras spent a lot of time on him (a lot more than they would have normally). Not sure whether it is because of the black eyes or because of our junior senator seating next to him, but it was striking compared to previous years (So, all it takes for the media to talk about Kerry is for him to do something silly. Being a serious man is not worth it. Ah, the joy of the infotainment society).

Kerry Statement on State of the Union Address
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, January 24, 2012


WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) tonight released a statement following President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address:

"If Members of Congress are going to be honest about it, there was a lot of common sense and even more common ground in tonight’s address. We shouldn’t have to wait for another year or another election to act like it. Tax reform, energy security, infrastructure, and jobs matter to all of us and we’re so much closer on these issues than the shrillness of our politics pretends we are. We ought to prove peoples’ suspicions wrong and prove that Congress can actually get something done even in an election year. Dysfunction isn’t defensible."
