We went WAY over our usual 5 minute time limit for the newsreel this week, but JK was busy, what with the Senate hearings in Finance and Foreign Relations, advising Obama before the big debate, and Sunday's post-debate analysis on Fox News where he totally destroyed Lindsey Graham (there's video at kos). Besides, we have two Kerrys making news this week, and we don't want to short-change either one. We also had to work in video of the Senator using the phrase 'swiss cheesy' in a SFRC hearing. Really, how can you pass that up?
Ladies first.
Teresa held her second annual Women's Health and the Environment conference in Pittsburgh on Thursday, and will sponsor her 13th in Boston at the end of October. Except for learning of the disgusting attack on THK and her philanthropic work by Sen. Jim Inhofe on the day of the Pittsburgh conference, it was a fantastic event.
Teresa's husband had a busy week as well, traveling to Oxford, MS to advise Obama for the debate (NECN video) in addition to his Senate work and home state obligations.
Sen. Kerry announced over 100K for farmers markets in MA, passage of some of his provisions in the tax bill, $3 mil for veteranss shelters, $11.5 mil in heating assistance, a ban on drilling in Georges Bank introduced legislation to help small businesses, and loans for disaster victims, and called out Republicans for blocking a stimulus package.
It's also been reported that JK has money. Who knew?
You'll be pleased to know the Senator's kicking Jeff Beatty's butt in the polls, so he can devote more time to helping out Obama and our soon-to-be much bluer Congress.
There's some good new video of JK at JK Media Source, too. Check it out.

I loved the THK clip; I hadn't known that bit of news she announced, either. I hope we'll see more footage of her here at some point. Thanks for the mention of JKMediaSource too. As for five-minute limits -- JK does so much interesting stuff, how can anyone adhere to a limit? :)
