On Meet the Press, more insights from deep thinker John Kerry, who apparently doesn't believe that since Sept. 11, 2001 we've been experiencing anything like "a war or something terrible." D'oh.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator, again, in the interest of candor and clarity, you have promised to create 10 million jobs...Posted by Alan at April 19, 2004 05:27 PMSEN. KERRY: Yep.
MR. RUSSERT: ...and cut the deficit in half in your first four years.
SEN. KERRY: Yes, sir.
MR. RUSSERT: If you don't achieve those goals, would you pledge that you would not seek re-election?
SEN. KERRY: Well, it would depend on the circumstances. If I don't because there's a war or something terrible happens, of course I'm not going to make that pledge.
