Los Angeles, Calif.: Hi Mr. Broder, I read WaPo's online article about the brouhaha over Senator Kerry's amendment language being pulled and then introduced as Senator McConnell's own to force a vote. Article also stated that 6 Dems voted against killing amendment (paraphrasing here). I was confused by the whole issue, can you clarify? Thanks so much

David S. Broder: Perhaps. Senator Kerry introduced the language, but had second thoughts about forcing it to a vote. The Republicans (McConnell is the No. 2 man in the GOP Senate) saw a chance to embarrass the Democrats, so they called it up for a vote. Then, as you note, all but six senators voted against the resolution.

in other words, kerryliar flipflops again on issue
