Kerry Spot    [ jim geraghty reporting ]

So here is the big story that the blogosphere was buzzing about this weekend. In a normal world, a candidate falsely claiming to meet with the U.N. Security Council when he didn't would cost him votes. But we don't live in a normal world, and I doubt this news nugget will move one vote one way or another.

The other point is that Kerry apparently met with representatives of France, Singapore and Cameroon. So Kerry exaggerated, but didn't make this up entirely.

This story feels like a rerun of his claim of support from "foreign leaders." Under Kerry's rules, he is allowed to cite these private conversations to promote himself and his candidacy, but no one is allowed to ask him questions about those meetings, because they're "private."
