It took some real talent for Obama to make me feel bad for Kerry. Kerry is a generally reprehensible person, but in this episode he had to:
- explain why Obama was right to delay the action he clearly called for yesterday
- lie straight-faced (“a horse walked into a bar…”) to claim that the Cabinet had been consulted before Obama changed tacks, when Chris Wallace was quoting the White House that the Cabinet hadn’t been consulted
as well as generally supporting the Presidential power that he and Obama ran against in their campaigns.
Just remember, at these prices, we call them escorts.
