Good grief. The man is inconsistency personified. That is why I am thinking that the whole Kerry/intern nonsense that Wes said would blow Kerry's campaign out of the water, holds not water. Because Wes just does not know or care how he feels about anything actually - he just seems to bend and stretch to suit some wierd juggling monkeys in his head.

He thinks that liberating Iraq was a noble thing, and also thinks that the Bush administration was dishonest in its representation of the threat posed by Iraq. How is this contradictory?

Andy,

...should be proud of their resolve in the face of so much doubt...

...a war we didn't need to fight.

How is that not contradictory? I one he's saying "Liberty, sweet liberty." the other he's saying, "We shouldn't have given them sweet liberty."

Please, God, let him be the vice-presidential nominee.

Uh, (R) or (D)?

Personally I'd like a Bush/Rice v Kucinich/Sharpton cage match.

No kidding, I had my Sunday afternoon nap today and dreamed Democrats. Hilary was there, then she was gone. I was sitting in a van with some of the candidates. Kerry was left front, in the driver's seat. Kucinich was right front. Dean and Edwards were seated next to me, but apart from me. We then had a kind of silent auction, me calling out cabinet posts and the candidates, by a nod or lifted finger, accepting them. I looked at Dennis when I called out "Agriculture" but he just stared at the floor-boards. I was glad when, later, he waggled his hand for "Transportation." Dean took three posts, Edwards one. John Kerry sat still and didn't say a word throughout the entire dream. And that, in a dream, can be pretty scary.

I need to eat better/exercise more/spend less time on the internet looking at politics.

And why was the dream set in Indianapolis?

Quentin,

Clark certainly changed his tone and slant to appeal to the anti-Bush crowd, sure. But there's still been no substantive change in his position. There's still no logical contradiction between saying that we didn't need to fight this war and it's a good thing that the Iraqis are now free.

My objection to Clark's alleged flip-flopping is that it's sort of like the "Bush lied" meme. There's a small grain of truth to it in that there were some deliberate exaggerations made and some shaky evidence used, but it's still not accurate.
