THE OTHER BOB KERREY: Everybody seems down on Kerrey’s posturing today, but Tom Maguire notes a more sensible Bob Kerrey from November of 2001:

So can you give me some scenarios that you think are sensible, that put some meat on the bones of how we’re going to take on Iraq? What do we mean by this?

MR. KERREY: Invade Iraq and liberate 24 million Iraqis. That’s what I’d do.

Read the whole thing, which is full of gems like this one. (Maguire says that Kerrey sounds like a warblogger.) Read this Kerrey Wall Street Journal column — from today — too, entitled “Richard Clarke Was Wrong.”

UPDATE: Jay Solo thought Bob Kerrey was classy.
