Vintage John Kerry from Sunday’s interview with Chris Wallace:

WALLACE: Back in 2004, you spoke very differently about John McCain. You considered him as a possible vice presidential running mate. In May of 2004, you said that McCain was your first choice to be secretary of defense, and that’s at a time when we had already been in Iraq for more than a year, sir. KERRY: No, I didn’t say that, and I… WALLACE: You didn’t say which, sir? KERRY: I didn’t say that he was my first choice. I said he was somebody… WALLACE: Well, it was a quote from May 2004. KERRY: But let me be very clear about John McCain in 2004. John McCain in 2004 was a Senator John McCain who had opposed the Bush tax cuts, who had indicated at that point in time a very different attitude on any number of subjects from global climate change to how you treat the powerful in Washington. Nomination John McCain is a different person. He is now supporting the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

Well worth reading the entire interview.
