Tigermike 3,053 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Dems to Kerry: Get Off Our Team!Well, that may be a little too harsh. But this UPI story is pretty entertaining: U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer appeared to kick Sen. John Kerry out of a Democratic leadership walk in Washington, a reporter who witnessed the event said. An ABC News reporter said the incident occurred Tuesday outside of the Old Senate Chamber as members of the new Democratic leadership, of which Kerry is not a part, left the chamber en route to the Ohio Clock Corridor to discuss leadership elections, the incoming majority's agenda and Iraq. The ABC reporter said Kerry left the room behind Democratic Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.; Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; Caucus Secretary Patty Murray, D-Wash.; and Caucus Vice-Chair Schumer, D-N.Y. However, when Schumer noticed Kerry, D-N.Y., walking behind him, he turned and said something to the Massachusetts senator that caused him to stop. Kerry waited for the Democratic leaders to walk ahead and then ducked between two statues. The ABC reporter speculated that Schumer may have told Kerry to stay clear of the leadership shot.

AURaptor 1,126 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Kerry would have been front and centre for the photo, but he was busy parking the other's cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterinbham 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Actually it was because Kerry missed a spot when he was waxing Schumer's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
