On John Kerry's endorsement of Obama...

John Kerry is an interesting figure. He who won the 2004 Democratic nomination in the primaries, but lost to George W Bush, decides to endorse Barack Obama while his 2004 running mate John Edwards is still in the race. The acrimony between Kerry and Edwards, particularly after the 2004 White House race fell apart, was never a secret.

But it's particularly revealing, of how Kerry would rather endorse someone else than his ex-running mate. Of how aloof Kerry is, how people don't seem to care about what Kerry thinks. And of how the angry sounding Edwards doesn't seem to care either (or maybe he couldn't help it of what Kerry thinks.) I very much doubt if Clinton cares much either. It's kind of sad and pathetic for Kerry.

He should just retire to his townhouse in Beacon Hill.
