That's good spin, but far from the point. He missed how many intelligence committee meetings after the first WTC bombings? He proposed how many billions of dollars in cuts after those bombings? $7 billion? And you're right, Kerry is an insignificant Senator, but that would be moot if he didn't claim to be tough on terror and smart on intelligence. If he really was, he wouldn't have proposed enormous cuts to intelligence after the '93 WTC bombings and he would have showed up to intelligence briefings once in a while.
