Both Joshua of Sandbox and Lemuel have picked up my quip about John Kerry left in comments at Dan Drezner’s place a week or so ago:
On the other hand, I’m becoming increasingly convinced that Kerry (accused of flip-flopping) doesn’t actually flip-flop; he just simultaneously occupies multiple policy positions with a variable probability density function over policy space. So he doesn’t flip-flop; he Heisenbergs. In other words, he wasn’t for the war before he was against it; he was for it while he was against it.
Glad y’all enjoyed it! However, it now appears that Jay Tea of Wizbang beat me to the analogy.

Seriously, thanks for the hat tip. Damn, it seems like there’s hardly an original idea anywhere in cyberspace these days…
