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.

suppose.

Well, boats aren't, obviously. Several of the posters here won't admit
to even owning a boat, or what model or year of boat it is. So...does it
matter what is posted here?

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

I guess not. Maybe you could tell me about Joe Biden's examples of power
and influence while he sat in the chair over the past 2 years?
