I just received email from John Kerry which said, in part:
Monday, I shared with you my Brown University speech setting out what needs to be said and done at this critical moment for our country. Today, in that same spirit of clarity and conviction, I want to tell you how I will vote on the nomination of John Roberts to serve as Chief Justice of the United States.
I will vote against this vitally important nomination.
Excuse me, Senator? It's vitally important yet you're voting against it?
Okay, yes, I know what you're trying to say, but clarity, please! You sound like a Saturday Night Live parody of yourself.
