WASHINGTON -- More than three decades after he first appeared
before the panel as a 27-year-old Vietnam veteran-turned-antiwar
protester, Senator John F. Kerry is widely expected to be named the
new chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a position
that will give him enormous influence over international relations.

The pending announcement by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
which congressional aides said could come as early as today, would
elevate Kerry to the top of the foreign policy establishment and
give him a major role in shaping President-elect Barack Obama's
foreign policy priorities.

Kerry, 64, who was elected to a fifth term in the US Senate from
Massachusetts earlier this month, will be officially handed the
gavel when the new congressional session convenes in January,
according to multiple Capitol Hill sources. He will replace the
outgoing chairman, Vice President-elect Joe Biden.

You are not aware of the power of a chair of a major Senate
committee, I suppose.

We are aware of what Frank and Dodd did. Would you care to talk about
that.


"We?" You and the voices in your head? Who cares.

There are about 2,000,000 people who would like to know who failed to do
anything to prevent the financial crisis when it was brought to the
attention of Frank's and Dodd's committees.
