Kerry doesn’t have to go far to infuriate me

but this is just too much.

John Kerry dropped an early bombshell into the US election campaign yesterday by claiming some foreign leaders have already told him they want him to beat President George Bush in November.
His remark, at a fundraiser, drew a mocking response from the White House, where officials pointed out that “US voters, not foreign leaders, decide who becomes President.” But it shows how foreign policy – usually a low ranking election issue here – may be front and centre of the battle this time around.

Hooray for the White House. And a big fat duh for the Independent — how in the world would foreign policy NOT be front and center in this election? And bottom line — who the FUCK does John Kerry think he is?
