On Wednesday John Kerry announced he would not bumble into the 2008 presidential race. Once again, changing his mind and attempting to cover up the truth he said he wanted to spend the next two years making up for the fact that he had voted the wrong way in 2002.
Still, on the Senate floor, in a moment of Kerry wistfulness reminiscent of his Cambodian Christmas fantasies, he said, "We came close, certainly close enough to try again." Choking back crocodile tears, he continued, "But I have concluded this isn't the time to mount a presidential campaign. We have to find a way to end this misguided war and bring our troops back home."
Of course dropping out had nothing to do with the fact that he can't compete with Hillary, Obama or even John Edwards. No, Kerry wants us to believe he is sacrificing for the greater good by staying in the Senate to remain a pimple on the butt of progress. If he really wanted to do America a favor, he'd do a "you won't have John Kerry to kick around anymore" speech and fade away for good.
