What a difference an election makes

Jon Henke made today's must-read post of the entire blogosphere, as far as I've seen.

You never heard someone running for Vice President talk so forcefully about the need to oust Saddam, get elected, then get so soft. Yeah, he did go along with the President's plans against Iraq, but that was only to draw attention away from the real domestic issues.

But don't take my word for it: read Jon's entry for a surprise ending that would have made O. Henry envious.
