On MSNBC a few minutes ago, Senator John Kerry was on, furiously trying to explain Barack Obama's increasingly tortuous position on Iran. (Kerry as Obama's foreign policy proxy? You know where this is going…)
Senator Kerry attempted to claim that Obama doesn't necessarily want direct, presidential-level diplomacy with Iran. Rather, he explained, "That's why you have a Secretary of State, that's why you have ambassadors."
Alas, Senator Kerry might want to log onto Senator Obama's website. In its words: "Obama is the only major candidate who supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions."
So much for the Secretary of State…
Update: Senator Joe Biden, asked for his reaction to President Bush's statement that negotiating with terrorists, and appeasing dictators, is bad for America's national security, responded with his typical high-minded eloquence and thoughtfulness:
"This is bullshit! This is malarkey! This is outrageous!"
