Man Of Principle

Everything you need to know about John Kerry's relationship with lobbyists:
"There was a certain comfort level there" meeting with the Massachusetts crowd, Kip O'Neill said. Kerry was a hard lawmaker to persuade, lobbyists said, and therefore he was not as beseeched as much as other lawmakers. "If your interests coincided he'd be a great advocate," Kip O'Neill said. "But he wouldn't carry anybody's water because he knew them or had a meeting with them."
In other words, if you're on his side, he's on yours (that's called intelligence, for those of you who might be wondering). But he's not for sale and never has been.

John F. Kerry. The Real Deal.
