The John Kerry Post of the Day

My latest discovery about my favorite cheese-eating surrendermonkey-looking Ketchup King cum former Presidential candidate:

He's like the gift that keeps on giving to GOP humorists. Here's the latest...

Leading Democrat Senators John Kerry and Ted Kennedy said they would try to block Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito by preventing a vote on him with a filibuster.

Former presidential candidate Kerry announced from Switzerland that he wanted to block President George W. Bush's conservative nominee with the stalling tactic to prevent "an ideological coup" on the high court.

"Judge Alito will take America backward, especially when it comes to civil rights and discrimination laws," Kerry said is a statement.

Kennedy, Kerry's fellow Massachusetts senator, also called for a filibuster on Alito when the Senate is called to vote, probably early next week.

"We owe it to future generations of Americans to oppose this nomination. If Judge Alito is confirmed ... the progress of half a century on the basic rights of all Americans is likely to be rolled back."

First of all, I'm not sure there's anything funnier than the fact that this call came from Kerry while he's in the Swiss Alps. Maybe next time, he can try to argue against a tax cut while windsurfing in the South Pacific.

Second, Harry Reid has already cut the legs out from under Kerry by noting that there's no chance the filibuster would work. Of course, Reid still plans to support the filibuster -- presumably, this is consistent with most Democratic efforts to support failed policies.

Yes, we're well aware that Kerry is just following the advice of the left-wing dishrag. Unfortunately for Kerry and the dishrag, Americans seem increasingly out of step with the dishrag's views. If they really wanted to succeed, they could have adopted the mantra recommended tongue-in-cheek by Wonkette.

Then again, perhaps Kerry prefers losing -- it seems to be developing into a habit.
