Kerry Jealous

NYP reported A fuming John Kerry had "daggers in his eyes" after a fellow Democrat promoted Hillary Rodham Clinton for president — suggesting the 2004 loser is green with envy at a potential rival.

The flap was touched off two weeks ago when Clinton spoke at a Minneapolis Democratic dinner and Sen. Mark Dayton (D-Minn.) told the cheering crowd that he was introducing "the next great president of the United States."

Two days later, Kerry came over to Dayton on the Senate floor "with daggers in his eyes and said, 'What are you doing endorsing my 2008 presidential opponent?' . . . He was very serious," Dayton told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Clinton's office declined comment but a friend tut-tutted: "Boys will be boys, even when they are senators."

John @PowerLine blogged The most striking thing about this story to me was that Kerry and Dayton were simultaneously present on the Senate floor. Rumor has it that Kerry is so determined to run again in three years that he has resolved, after twenty years in the Senate, to begin actually performing his duties there.

Betsy Newmark blogged Does this guy really think that the Democrats will trust him again with the nomination. So many of them think that he mucked up a golden opportunity to bring down Bush. He was a terrible candidate just as so many predicted. He's left now to mutter like Humphrey Bogart in The Caine Mutiny, "it was Ohio, it was Ohio." Complaining about past elections didn't do much for Al Gore and won't be enough to get Democrats to entrust their best chance for a victory in 2008 to Kerry. Someone tell Teresa to spend some of her money to buy her husband a clue.

I love to see Liberals fight.
