A Globe reporter going to work for Kerry! Don't Globe reporters already work for Kerry and the rest of the Democratic Party?  

It's always nice to see a journalist go legit.... 

Does anyone know what does strategic communications do?  High level advisor - for what? 

The propaganda ministry officials for the Kim family in North Korea were unavailable for the Kerry position.

Strategic communications involves imparting spin to buffoonery to make it seem strategic (important) and communicationing it to mere mortals.
