Four Years Later, Kerry Admits He's a Liberal

During the 2004 presidential campaign, John Kerry tried to overcome the dubious distinction of being, per the National Journal, the most liberal senator. His attempts to deny the obvious led to a memorable exchange with NYT's Elisabeth Bumiller [transcript after jump] in which he famously fought off the liberal tag as a "laughable characterization."
But four years later, having lost the presidency and just this week failed in his bid to become Secretary of State, perhaps Kerry calculates he has nothing left to lose. Writing at the Huffington Post, he's letting his liberal flag, or his progressive pennant, to be precise, fly.

Kerry denied being a liberal before he admitted it ping to Today show list.

Oh, so what.
He's not a liberal, he's a narcissist.

So he wasn’t a “thoughtful moderate” after all.....
I’m glad I voted against him, though I have been less than pleased by the alternative.

He’d have to move well to the right before he’d be a liberal.

Sorry - I'm drinking a Jack Daniels eggnog-Kahlua cocktail whilst simultaneously typing and trying to keep three rat Dachshunds from eating each other. I apologize for my grammar. LOL *CHUG*

That’s as earth shattering as him admitting his last name is Kerry.
