THis morning on GMA, Kerry blamed his I-voted-for-beofre-I-voted-against soundbite on fatigue: “It was a very inarticulate way of saying something and I had one of those moments late in the evening when I was tired in the primaries and didn’t say something clearly. But it reflects the truth of the position, which is, I thought, to have the wealthiest people in America share the burden of paying for that war. It was a protest. Sometimes you have to stand up and be counted.”

Turns out he said it at a noon event.
