I recognize what John Kerry is doing. He knows this is a turf battle and he is protecting his turf. I can explain it, but only in Bostonese. (Warning Bostonese is pretty profane. You could clean it up, but then it wouldn't be Bostonese.)
John Kerry lets all the press who haven't gone on vacation into his Senate office. Purpose: I'm not dead, not in mourning and those Repug bastards did not, repeat did not cut off my balls and put them in a little jar. Everytime a Democrat loses those bastards think they can play keep away on the Senate floor with defeated Demo balls. Not this fuckin' time. You're gonna have to deal with me, cuz I'm not going away.
More below the fold...
John Kerry might form a PAC in order to see how to influence future political events in the country. Translation: Keep your fucking paws off my fricking cash cows. Massachusetts raises a shitload of money for Democrats. Nobody is getting any of that money without asking first. I didn't flip pancakes in freezing Iowa in fricking December so some candyass could waltz in and get my money guys. Fuck off. You want to talk to my money guys, make nicey-nice. Maybe I'll talk some people into funding a poll or something for you. Maybe.
Kerry is keeping his options open and might consider running again in 2008. Translation: I still have tons of people beholden to me and I'm not letting any of 'em work for you unless I feel like it. Every Presidential campaign reveals new talent and a new list of shitheads who couldn't find their assholes with both hands and a flashlight. Be nice, don't play that blame game with me and maybe I'll let you get a look at who might be on my Christmas card list and whose getting a fucking gift basket. Trust me, you want to know this.
John Kerry wants to assume a leadership position in the new Congress and in what's left of the Democratic Party. Translation: Ten frickin days ago I had 80,000 people chanting my name in unison in a fucking public park in Madison Wisconsin. If I run again, it's back to trying to make eye contact with a dozen people in the Ms. Corn Muffin parade in East Overfuck NH. Jesus H. Christ, I gotta think about it. Running for President is an exercise in extreme looniness. I think I already racked up enough points to get out of purgatory. Maybe this decision needs a little time and a visit with a shrink. Thank God the Democrats need all the help they can get, that'll keep me sane through this new batch of wingnut bastards that are in the new Senate. And I think Nancy Pelosi is having a stroke or something. I just caught her on CNN trying to talk religious. This could get serious.
Again, just adding my interpretation.
