"John Kerry Reporting for Duty" - Wins Election!
Well, it's not as exciting as the title makes it seem. John Kerry served on a jury this week and was elected foreman.
John Kerry Elected!
Kerry was not only chosen this week to sit on a jury in Suffolk Superior Court, but also was elected foreman. The former Democratic presidential candidate reported for duty Monday and none of the lawyers in the case objected to putting him on the jury.
Can't you see Kerry saluting as he entered the courtroom reporting for (jury) duty. That jury room must have been mass confusion as Kerry kept switching sides and had everyone confused as to where he stood. The verdict was likely "We voted in favor of the plaintiff before we voted against him." Then, that could have been followed with denouncements that the Republicans kept some jurors from voting.
Kerry Pondering Verdict
In the article, the AP reporter included a gratuitous remark that a fellow juror from Boston regretted voting for Bush after being charmed by Kerry, who discussed his battles and said that his wife didn't understand him. There was no word if Kerry had signed Form 180 and provided his medical records to this lady, who is a nurse and could finally let us know what is in those files.
Kerry concluded his experience by saying, "I enjoyed it. It was very, very interesting and very instructive." What??!! Very instructive? This is a guy who wanted to appoint Supreme Court judges, and he's just learning about the jury system?
Anyway, let's not take anything away from him being selected jury foreman. It must have been tough winning a majority of votes from twelve Massachusetts jurors. It's a start for 2008.
