BOSTON (AP) – A new documentary about Sen. John Kerry’s presidential campaign, warts and all, is making the rounds in New York and Washington. But its leading man has no plans to see it.

“I lived it,” the Massachusetts Democrat told reporters with a laugh on Tuesday. “I think I know what happens.”

“Inside the Bubble,” shot by two filmmakers given extensive behind-the-scenes access, includes lengthy scenes in which a press assistant goes on an expletive-laced tirade as he tries to arrange to have a pony placed in the room of another Kerry aide as a surprise birthday gift.

Kerry is also seen speaking Italian while waiting for a round of television interviews, and complaining about a media depiction of legislation he sponsored.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., is also caught rolling her eyes after Kerry accused President Bush of owning a timber company during one of their debates.

Clips will be shown on C-Span this Sunday.
