The John Kerry Post of the Day

My latest discovery about my favorite cheese-eating surrendermonkey-looking Ketchup King cum Presidential candidate:

Senator Condiment finally explained his line about voting for the $87 billion appropriation for the troops in Iraq, before voting against it (the more times we read that, the less sense it makes). Here's what he said on Good Morning America yesterday, as noted by Powerline...

"It was a very inarticulate way of saying something and I had one of those moments late in the evening when I was tired in the primaries and didn't say something clearly. But it reflects the truth of the position, which is, I thought, to have the wealthiest people in America share the burden of paying for that war. It was a protest. Sometimes you have to stand up and be counted."

I have no clue how this qualifies as a protest, but maybe it's all part of the Kerry motif regarding Vietnam; he was protesting then, and he's still protesting today. Fine and good. Except for one thing -- here's the original statement, from the Washington Post back in March...

But the Democrat -- whom Bush has criticized for taking both sides of difficult issues -- offered a less-than-crisp statement defending the nuances of his position.

"I actually did vote for his $87 billion, before I voted against it," he told a group of veterans at a noontime appearance at Marshall University.

Note the Post's statement -- this was a noontime appearance. Kerry's now changing day to night -- perhaps he has mysitcal powers or something.

Well, it was the day before St. Patrick's Day. Maybe the Senator just got an early start.
