Kerry: Let's Not 'Form A Circular Firing Squad'

Tonight's results will be analyzed and overanalyzed by the punditry. I hope as a party we don't succumb to the temptation to form a circular firing squad. It does no one any good. One lesson Ted Kennedy and I both learned from defeat is, you just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, chart a course forward, and get back in the fight.

I am not a big John Kerry fan, but in this instance what he says makes a lot of sense. Plus, I like the phrase, "Circular Firing Squad."

He's just a little nervous because it appears that he may need to pose nude for Cosmo in order to be re-elected next time around.

He has been in the shadow of Ted Kennedy for his entire career up until now. And he is not seen as being a "likable" guy or "approachable", but he has worked hard as our Senator. He may have borrowed the "circular firing squad" phrase as it has been used before about state Democratic in-fighting, but he used it well in that piece.

I'm not a big Kerry fan myself, but in this case I am not going to shoot the messenger. :-)

For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of Massachusetts.
Dear Massachusetts, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your dedication
and sacrifices are inspiriations to me. You are truly our patriots and saviors. I
have tears in my eyes.

neither am i.


he used that phrase because "circle jerk" wouldn't get past the FCC censors.
