You gotta love politics.
Last year, Joe Biden said Barack Obama wasn't ready to be president. Now, Biden is on his way to becoming the Democratic vice presidential nominee.
The cable and broadcast networks were quick on the draw Saturday morning. The Biden quotes and sound bites were ready to roll when the Obama made the selection. The McCain people have their commercials, complete with Biden's comments, set to air.
This is not a purely Democratic phenomenon. George Bush called Ronald Reagan's money plan "voodoo economics" during the 1980 campaign, and Bush wound up on the ticket, serving 8 years as Reagan's vice president.
Recently, I wrote here that "It's not what you say. It's what you do." In politics, it seems "It's not what you say, but rather how you rationalize it months later."
