The media narrative about Kerry is never going to change. It's horribly unfair, but old habits are hard to break, evidently. And it looks like the effort to paint Markey as the second Kerry in terms of temperament and personality is well under way. Sad, really, because both men are anything but stiff, out of touch, aloof.
