IS IT A LIE OR AN EMOTIONAL PROBLEM?
Well, Kerry is making me want to apologize for ever suggesting in 2000 that Al Gore had less than a passing familiarity with the truth. As I recall, Al's prevarication was more about puffery. Al did something or other in Congress that appropriated funds for something to do with TCP/IP or DARPA or something, so he said he took the initiative in creating the internet. Exaggeration. Puffery. If I understand the claims that President Bush is a liar, it would seem he is being blamed for the same thing. Saddam is bad. "How bad is he?" So bad he's gonna be setting off some sarin canisters in Cleveland next week.

But I don't know what to make of John Kerry. You've heard of his support/opposition to the Israel's fence depending on his audience. Now, he tells Cuban-Americans he voted for Helms-Burton -- the act that punishes companies who do business with Cuba. Problem is, he didn't vote for it.

And then there's his stance on the Iraq war. We should not have gone, or maybe we should have, but not without international support. But, he didn't think we needed that support in 1997.

No, I don't know what to make of this. But I should probably consider whether I owe Al Gore and apology.
