Ignoring his own obvious judgmental shortcomings, John Kerry is taking part in the coordinated Obama surrogate attack against McCain by saying the former POW lacks judgement.
“John McCain … has proven that he has been wrong about every judgment he’s made about the war. Wrong about the Iraqis paying for the reconstruction, wrong about whether or not the oil would pay for it, wrong about Sunni and Shia violence through the years, wrong about the willingness of the Iraqis to stand up for themselves,” Kerry, who supports Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
As Bill Hobbs reminds us, Kerry wanted McCain on his ticket four years ago. The AP, to its credit, takes a detour from the usual narrative and also notes Kerry’s past overtures:
If that’s the case, then it’s probably a good thing McCain rejected overtures from Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, to form a bipartisan ticket and run with Kerry as his candidate for vice president.
If Sen. McCain lacks sound judgement, why did Waffles want him as his vice-president?
