Subject: Edwards offers rare look into VP selection process
Maybe I'm too cynical. When John Kerry first explained his vote in favor of the invasion of Iraq by saying that he had been fooled by Bush, I didn't believe him. How could a U.S. Senator have been fooled by Bush when I—a kindergarten teacher in the LA ghetto—wasn't? (I have access to only what I find on the Internet, including media commentary from Washington, London, Moscow, Beijing, Hong Kong, Jeddah and Tel Aviv--being able to read 20 languages helps.)
But this story has made me pause, and reflect. Is it possible that we could have political leaders who behave honorably, and sincerely try to do the right thing?
