Video: Kerry takes credit for John Edwards's boldness

Picclip123105productionkerryedwardsYesterday CNN aired an interview from a few months ago with former presidential candidate John Kerry.  Other than losing his temper with Wolf Blitzer a few times, he appeared as though he indirectly parted ways with running mate John Edwards right after his election loss:

When asked to respond to John Edwards's admission that he was wrong about weapons of mass destruction and that he takes personal responsibility for that vote, instead of congratulating Edwards for being the first one to do so, Kerry said, "I said that before Senator Edwards wrote that."

Actually, I don't think so.  I challenge one person to find a statement from John Kerry that says he would not have voted 'nay' on the war resolution if he knew what he knows today.  And I remember when Edwards wrote that article, and I thought about how he was one of the first to be that bold and accept some responsibility. 

It's misleading to tell everyone that you would be a great alternative to Bush when you suffer from the same problem as the President: the inability to show some humility.  John Kerry these days sounds more like a grumpy old man than presidential material.  He is a smart guy and I admire him a lot.  But please John, don't run for President in 2008.  You make a very decent Senator.
