Politics as Crocodile Feeding

I've been meaning to start a list of John Kerry's most distinctive utterances, sort of as a reminder of how awful he is as a politician and as a human being. Trouble is, other top-flight bloggers have essentially been doing the job for me. This excellent post by the Ashbrook Center's Peter Schramm reminded me just now how badly I've fallen down on the job. Schramm begins:

"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it," so said John Kerry yesterday. I mention this not only because this might become the perfect summation of his character, both intellectual and moral, but also because it is a perfect example of the difficulty of doing politics in a Republic. It is all a bit confusing isn’t it? A person goes around saying anything and everything, no matter how contradictory, just to get himself elected (he will fail, by the way)...

And there's more! Much more! Read it all, as another wise man said.
