A Code Pink loon showed up at John Kerry’s Senate confirmation hearing this morning. Thankfully, the womyn left her floppy lady-parts costume at home.
Code pink, code pink! (Thank God we were spared the giant vagina suits!) #KerryHearing

But even sans vagina suit, she managed to capture Kerry’s attention.
Brief interruption for what appeared to be a Code Pink protester shouting saying "We need peace with Iran" and against deaths in Middle East

Jim Hoft writes, “This was a bit strange, considering John Kerry launched his political career as an antiwar America-bashing activist.”
Strange, or deliciously fitting?
40 years ago, Kerry was that Code Pink activist.

Kerry opted to embrace the outburst, weaving it into his statement.
The Code Pink protestor prompts Kerry to allude to his Vietnam testimony.

Kerry says protester "in a way that's a good exclamation point to my testimony." "People measure what we do," he says.

Cue the swooning about Kerry’s “brilliance.”
Aaand there's the requisite interruption from @CodePink — Kerry handles it brilliantly expressing "respect", need for voices to be heard.

But at least it livened up the Capitol Hill snooze-fest.
