OK, now I'm convinced that John Kerry has lost his mind. A Boston Globe reporter gave Kerry a prime opportunity to back away from the claim that foreign leaders want him to beat George Bush. The Globe reporter, Patrick Healy, now says he made a mistake in transcribing the Kerry statement:
"I mistranscribed a key word," explains Patrick Healy, a political reporter for the BOSTON GLOBE who covered the event in a pool capacity.So what does Kerry do? He repeats the claim!"Listening to the audio recorder now, in the quiet of my house, I hear 'more leaders' and I am certain that 'more leaders' is what Senator Kerry said."
In a telephone interview, the Massachusetts senator and presumptive Democratic nominee said "it's no secret" that some countries are "deeply divided about our foreign policy. We have lost respect and influence in the world."THIS is the issue that Kerry finally decides to have some backbone about? The one time in his life he isn't going to flip-flop? He's going to run as the guy who Jacques Chirac and Gerhard Schroeder want to have in the White House? Sweet Jesus.He continued: "I stand by my statement. The point is not the leaders. What's important is that this administration's foreign policy is not making us as safe as we can be in the world."
