As expected, it was a killer week for the Senator, who returned from Africa, put in a full work week, then finished it up with a flight to Bali for the climate conference. Good that he went, since the Bush delegates aren't making many friends or much progress there. Something about the rest of the world wanting us to take some responsibility.
This morning's news reports of Sen. Kerry's participation in the conference are here, here and here. And speaking of news and climate change, I'm watching VP Gore get his Nobel Peace Prize as I type. Congratulations to Al on this highly deserved honor.
We're going to give Senator Kerry extra credit, too, for venturing into the land of 'fair and balanced'. Although I think he enjoys the tough interviews, he seemed to have more fun with Mason and Imus than he did with Geraldo. Still, all good interviews, and well worth another viewing.
The Senator also gave a speech at SAIS, wrote op-eds in the Globe and the International Herald Tribune, blogged at Huffington Post, and voted on some really important legislation that was Roadblocked by the Republicans.
I hope the Senator is able to sleep on a plane, because next week promises to be another busy one in the Senate, with a closed Foreign Relations hearing on the Iran NIE on Tuesday, another SFRC hearing on AIDS on Thursday, and an FCC hearing in Commerce on Wednesday. The Finance Committee hearing on exports to Cuba on Tuesday sounds like a must-see as well. Looks like another hefty newsreel next week.
