being so political. He sounded like he thought Kerry deserved better treatment. Then he contrasted Kerry's "lateral" move with the Repugs elevation of disgraced former Leader Trent Lott to a position of power. Before he went to a break, KO said he'd be bringing someone back to discuss irony. While Kerry wasn't mentioned again, the spotlight was on Lott being promoted and the contrast was already set up.

He really didn't seem to be snarky toward Kerry, but a little shocked that Dems were treating him the way they did over a botched joke. Remember his strong defense of John Kerry? No, I don't think this was a pot shot at Kerry, but a raised eyebrow at Democratic Senate Leadership.
