"BTW, 44 retweets for 180,000 followers. Really? That is what bothers you? Come on, I know I will be dissed for saying that, but what is your agenda here? Making sure that Kerry's supporters here cannot enjoy the fact that he is going able to have this job? "

...have to ask? From the comment you responded to:

"It shouldn't be a big deal. However, liberal pundits (one who called it a "dick" move), and other Dems, Liberals, and progressives that supported him as SOS nominee who are still bitter at him over 04 and other thing and now are unhappy with him for it."

I mean, why not mention the swift liars...and the kitchen sink?

I'm thrilled Kerry cleared the air, and all the handwringers can go to hell. Why should he tip-toe around the truth? They seem distraught that the media spin was destroyed. It's like deep down they were hoping to have the meme for years to come. Screw 'em.

Josh Marshall has an interesting tidbit (via TPM Prime): beachmom Feb 2013 #6

What did he do to Rice? politicasista Feb 2013 #7

Just a comment. No big deal. Probably no axe to grind. Nothing to do with Rice or Obama. Mass Feb 2013 #8

Probably not, just curious n/t politicasista Feb 2013 #10

What exactly did Kerry say that Josh Marshall was critial over? wisteria Feb 2013 #9

i think they are referring to Kerry saying how Obama offered him the job JI7 Feb 2013 #12

His remark which he apparently later clarified. beachmom Feb 2013 #19

Kerry was always his first choice, Rice didn't even come up until media and republicans JI7 Feb 2013 #11

Apparently, Kerry walked back the comment. Mass Feb 2013 #22

Which means, they were waiting for her to withdraw in good time. wisteria Feb 2013 #42
