…while other issues require nuance. Lots of nuance.

Boy, it’s been a while since I picked on John Kerry, but Senator Splunge just can’t make up his mind. From the Boston Herald: “Kerry not ready to tilt at Cape windmills”

Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), who championed renewable energy in his presidential bid, yesterday said he won't take a stand on the proposed Cape Cod wind farm until the Army Corps of Engineers completes its environmental impact report next year.

Kerry had been expected by some observers to weigh in on the controversial wind farm after the Army publicly released its voluminous draft environmental report last month. The failed Democratic presidential nominee, who has helped lead the fight against drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, as many other environmental causes, has refused to take sides on the controversial Cape wind farm, even as he touted wind power and other forms of renewable energy during the 2004 race.

It’s complicated for the Senator. If he followed his malleable beliefs, he would come out in favor of the wind farm and renewable energy. However, he would probably fall out of favor with the elite set in Nantucket and miss the next social season. Perhaps a ride on his $6,000 bicycle will help to claify the issue for Kerry.
