If You Don't Know Then Shut Up

Sen. John Kerry blasted the White House for character assassination on Richard Clarke. You'd think that such a bold remark would come from some serious thinking. You'd think Kerry looked at Clarke's inconsistent statements. If you thought that, you'd be wrong. Here's what the AP's Nedra Pickler (That has to be a made up name) wrote near the end of the story:

Kerry, who spent much of the past week on vacation in Idaho, said he had not heard or read any of the testimony before the commission.

He nevertheless criticized the administration for having "stonewalled" the investigation.
