(Bob) Bob Kerrey reconsidering Senate bid (Ne)


http://www.omaha.com/article/20120227/NEWS01/702279925#bob-kerrey-reconsidering-senate-bid

Bob Kerrey is reconsidering.

The former Nebraska governor appears to be flirting — once again — with the prospect of running for U.S. Senate. He talked this morning with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, setting off speculations that Kerrey is in the race.

Kerrey has had talks with his former campaign manager, Paul Johnson, about a prospective run.

He has until Thursday to decide.

Has Bob Kerrey been threatend or bought off?
Or is he simply a piece of slime? This guy, a former DEMOCRATIC Senator, was appointed to the 9/11 Commission by DASCHLE as a replacement for Max Cleeland. At the time I thought it was a move to try and make the Democrats on the commission look more moderate and thus decrease the chance that charges of "playing politics" wouldn't stick when the Commission really got going.

But now that its go time, what is Kerrey doing? HE'S TRYING TO BLAME THE WHOLE DAMN THING ON THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION! He's actually saying that if Clinton had gone after Al Qaeda like he should have after the embassy bombings and the USS Cole bombing that 9/11 would not have happened. But he must know DAMN WELL that this is a red herring! The real question is: did the Bush Administration have prior knowledge of 9/11 and failed to act on it? And if so, why? Kerrey seems to have no interest in this at all. Instead he is joining the Republicans in the "BLAME CLINTON!" chorus.

WTF???
and his connections to the Franklin Cover Up in Omaha, NE?
