Kerrying on

Please don't let this destroy your faith in the junior senator from Massachusetts. But it seems that John Kerry, who has come out in public AGAINST gay marriage is still trying to swing both ways on the issue (no pun intended...well, maybe slightly intended).

WASHINGTON -- Senator John F. Kerry met privately yesterday with gay-rights groups to fortify a tenuous peace between his presidential campaign, which is seeking to neutralize gay marriage as a political wedge issue, and gay leaders who share feelings of anger and resignation toward Kerry for opposing the marriages that will begin in his home state Monday.

Kerry reminded the leaders that he has one of the most supportive voting records on gay-related legislation in the Senate and that he would champion their causes as president, Kerry aides and gay leaders said yesterday.


Translation: Kerry reminded the leaders that he would tell the American public he could shoot gold bricks out of his ass if it would help him get elected.
