novapsycheKerry's GOP colleagues ignore decorum
Republican big guns are bringing out GOP senators to attack their Democratic colleague running for president. John Kerry, distinguished junior senator from the great state of Massachusetts, is taking it on the chin from the frat pack.
Recently GOP Sens. Jon Kyl of Arizona, Norm Coleman of Minnesota and Saxby Chambliss of Georgia have digressed from the Senate etiquette outlined ages ago by Thomas Jefferson to attack Kerry on multiple fronts.
[...] “These people are acting not as senators first and foremost, they are acting as agents of the president for the presidential campaign,” [political scientist Burdett Loomis of the University of Kansas] said. “This is one more step in the decline of civility.”
