Kerry on SuperCommittee
2011-08-10
"Kerry, meanwhile, was selected for his stature and Senate tenure."

#15  Ryan is the thought leader of the opposition. For him not to be on this committee is to doom it to irrelevance.

Just sayin'. Expect nothing, and get less.

#14  Ryan asked not to be appointed. He's more valuable in his Committee chairmanship

#13  And I was hoping for West, Ryan, Paul, Paul, Rubio, and DeMint.

#10  Well, given the past record of Jawnny's "accomplishments" in the Senate, this thing should go absolutely nowhere.

#9  Kerry: Ok, lets all go discuss things on my Yacht.

#7  Wonder if any Tea Party members will be appointed from the House? They have been already demonized by Kerry.

#6  Looks like Baucus and Kerry from Finance, Murray from Budget and Appropriations. Why not Conrad and Inoue, the actual chairmen of those two committees? Kerry's *on* Finance, but his big Senate thing has always been Foreign Affairs, and his extremely limited intelligence and knowledge has mostly been applied in that direction. As others have pointed out, Murray's a nonentity, not really a fire-breather nor a notable centrist or pragmatist like Tester, Baucus, or Conrad.

Kerry and Murray are basically clock-punchers on the relevant committees, there to make up the numbers for the majority party when it comes to a vote.

#5  Did he pay the taxes on the Isabel yet?

Taxes are for the little people...

#4  Between Murray and JFn Kerry, LOTS of bloviation and grandstanding using ridiculous arguements and logic.

A recipe for obstruction.

#3  Kerry?, was that a super committee or super wealthy committee. Just another bobble head.

#2  And Patty 'OBL was helping build schools and hospitals in A-Stan' Murray arguably the stupidest person in the Senate.
