Senator Kerry to be on CNN this Sunday.

[wisteria]

The discussion should not be about a boat and taxes, but Pakistan.

1. Thanks for posting this, Wisteria!

I would have missed it, for sure!

CNN: “GPS with Fareed Zakaria”: Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's ambassador to the U.S.

If it were anyone else, I'd worry it would stray off-topic, but I have hopes in this case.

2. Many thanks for telling us. I would have missed it otherwise.

I'd even looked up the Sunday shows on the main networks, but didn't think to check CNN. I didn't even know this show existed! A thoughtful conversation, on both sides.

3. I saw it

Good stuff. Posted a piece about his statement on more troops here.

4. Just watched. EXCELLENT interview...

...and he probably made some news. It will be interesting to see the GOP spin on this.

I guess he's not going to 'lay low'... :7 Thank goodness!

[wisteria]

5. I thought it was a great interview also-no nonsense, no BS.

And, I am also glad to see him out and about-so to speak.

6. Damn! Thats will teach me

to take week-ends off politics as I have kind of been doing recently. No TV and worse, no Internet, so I did not see your post.

I am sure it was thoughtful, Zakharia is that way, and obviously so is Kerry. What else? What is the "making news" part about?

7. Nvermind, I found the answer

9. Oh, thank you so much

I missed it. I wish JK would get out on more TV, he is so good at explaining all of these complex situations that this administration is in right now. I hope he gets out for a lot of the candidates, we need his voice and his style of anger. Screw the morons that will always go after him on the litllest things, IMO, that is what the right is trying to do now so his voice won't be heard, he has to rise above them and keep his ground.

10. Thanks
