Guilty Conscience, That Is

This is how out of touch is the New York Magazine is: it contends that John Kerry is poised to seize the mantle of "conscience of the U.S. Senate".

This is the same John Kerry who has been running away from reporters who want to ask questions about his seven million dollar yacht -- and why he evades state taxes in Massachusetts by docking it out of state.

Kerry has agreed to pay Massachusetts more than $500,000 in sales and excise taxes on the yacht. It seemed like the right thing to do, now that he's the "conscience of the U.S. Senate" for Democrats.
