Quick Takes

Sen. John Kerry has made it in politics. Now he wants to be a movie producer.

The Massachusetts Democrat has asked the Senate ethics panel if he can use $300,000 from his campaign funds to invest in a documentary about injured Iraq war veterans. Kerry has also sought approval from the Federal Election Commission.

The former Democratic presidential nominee hopes to be an executive producer for a movie tentatively titled "Keeping Faith" by White Mountain Films. The senator, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, would help line up investors and obtain interview subjects for the film.
