Phew, what a relief!

>From factcheck.org:

To call Kerry the "most liberal man in the Senate" based on a single
year's rating is simply incorrect, however. Over his entire career,
the Journal rates Kerry the 11th most liberal Senator. It's doubtful
that Kerry would have qualified for the "most liberal" label even
during his first Senate term, when was rated #1 for three of the six
years: 1986, 1988, and 1990. In each of those years Kerry actually
tied for the "most liberal" rating, sharing it with as many as five
other senators.
