JOHN KERRY ON NAFTA (link courtesy of Best of the Web)
On a almost entirely unrelated note: Kerry's wife's company has factories all over the world: the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, India, and China, just to name a few Do these factories adhere to the "environmental and labor standards" Kerry has so recently discovered the importance of? Just curious.
''If it were before me today I would vote against it, because it doesn't have environmental or labor standards in it,'' said Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, who did vote for NAFTA. ''If we're going to create jobs, the first thing we have to do is make sure George W. Bush loses his.''Read that again: "John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, who did vote for NAFTA" and ponder. Perhaps the Boston Globe reporter didn't bother to include Kerry's nuanced explanation that followed this statement. At least I hope that this is the case. Otherwise, how is one to explain Kerry's statement? Did he not know that NAFTA didn't contain "environmental or labor standards" when he voted for it? Perhaps he (gasp) didn't read the whole thing (shades of Condi Rice and intelligence reports on yellowcake from Niger)?
