Kerry vs. Kerrey

ok, this excerpt/quote is kinda funny…

In news releases and postings on Kerry’s campaign Web site as recently as last Friday, the Massachusetts senator is touted as the panel’s former vice chairman. However, according to the Senate Historical Office, Kerry never had the seniority to hold a leadership position on the committee — though he was a member from 1993 until 2001. Make that Bob Kerrey — the former Democratic senator from Nebraska who did serve as the panel’s vice chairman.

“John Kerry, Bob Kerrey — similar names,” said Kerry campaign spokesman Michael Meehan, adding that any reference to Kerry as vice chairman was an error.

In response, “If he had shown up for Intelligence Committee hearings he would notice he wasn’t vice chairman.” said Republican National Committee spokeswoman Christine Iverson.
