| Kerry poised to cap long journey |
| 2008-11-21 |
| More than three decades after he first appeared before the panel as a 27-year-old Vietnam veteran-turned-antiwar protester, Senator John F. Kerry will be named chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, giving him enormous influence over President-elect Barack Obama's foreign policy, according to congressional officials. He will be handed the gavel when the new Congress convenes in January, replacing Vice President-elect Joe Biden. |

| #3 Senator John F. Kerry will be named chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee... Note to Liveshot - this means you'll actually have to show up to your job now. |

| #2 The adults have abandoned the field. On the other hand, we can expect State Dept SOP to include "raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, cut off limbs, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Jenjis Khan ... ." It may be an improvement. |
