Kerry Stole the Show

The Note has some items on John Kerry today:

Roll Call’s Nicole Duran Notes that of the “21 Republican and 12 Democratic Senators who will face voters in November of 2008,” Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) was “the biggest spendthrift,” collecting $1.8 million and ending the quarter with “roughly $300,000 in the bank.”

Kerry, by the way, was spotted out on U Street Northwest on Thursday night being cool.

Roll Call’s Mary Ann Akers reports that Kerry “stole the show” at the “uber-hip” Tabaq Bistro on Thursday, at a benefit for the Whitman-Walker Clinic. “Kerry made a surprise appearance to support his staffers Heather Zichal and Heather Higginbottom, both of whom are training for the upcoming AIDS marathon and helping to raise money for Whitman-Walker.”

“The Senator hung out with the crowd and even played a few songs on a guitar he borrowed from the band hired to play for the event. He played Chuck Berry’s ‘Johnny B. Goode’ and a few Beatles riffs, our source says.”
