40. actions speak louder than words! And Kerry has def. tackled corruption!!!
That's half the 'problem'. It's not 'sexy' to talk about BCCI and the people in our government who undercut the investigation. It's actually quite difficult to understand the connections that Kerry was digging up and how they all interconnect.

It's similar to he people I've met who work in computer security. To me, it seems incredibly boring, but to them, the fascination is in putting on different mindsets, 'trying on the criminal mindset' and trying to attack things from that angle, etc... Boring to me. Exciting to them.

But regardless, extremely important work! And that's what Kerry has done and still represents. The tenacity to cling to details and trails and make connections. It's totally 'brain work' so it doesn't translate to pop-culture very easily.
