Over at the Weekly Standard, I caught this illuminating tidbit from John Kerry speaking out against tax cuts:
“I've supported many tax cuts over the years, and there are tax cuts in this proposal. But a tax cut is non-targeted. If you put a tax cut into the hands of a business or family, there's no guarantee that they're going to invest that or invest it in America. They're free to go invest anywhere that they want if they choose to invest.”
Looks like he supported tax cuts before he was against them. But I don’t come here to bury Kerry; I come to ask what the hell happened to him? Senator Kerry was one of the early, big supporters of Barack Obama’s candidacy. He even went to bat for the fledgling candidate shortly after early Obama missteps and sniping from candidate Hillary Clinton’s husband Bill (you remember him).
During the transition, it was even rumored that Kerry was under consideration for an Obama cabinet post, possibly even State. But then nothing.
Much has been made of Obama’s “Team of Rivals” – but what about your team of supporters? Even Richardson was thrown a bone over at Commerce.
Any thoughts?

That's right, you Mr. Kerry, Mr. Reid and Ms Pelosi know what's best for us.
What a load of spudwaz.

Obama was smart enough to figure out Kerry is a dunce.
That he is dunce is self evident, but doesn't necessarily disqualify him in Washington. There's got to be something more.
