John Kerry, who is famous for two reasons: 1) for winning Iowa caucus; and 2) for being the most boring speaker on the planet, released a press statement on Howard Dean and Israel yesterday. Howard Dean said: “the only way to have a Jewish democracy is to get out of the West Bank at some point because otherwise, you have a democracy; it's not a Jewish state. It's a Jewish state, it's not a democracy.” So Kerry responded by saying: "Every candidate who aspires to be president should know that Israel is a democracy and our closest ally in the region."
