She has the perfect defense. She's a Democrat, so she needed to lie in order to help you.
In Massachusetts she could kill her little boy (or girl) toy, claim confusion, and still get elected for life.
Normally, I would agree with you, as morally-questionable flip-flopping is SOP for Masshole Dems (Cf. Sen. Kerry, “I was for the $87billion before I was against it,” who still doesn’t seem to have paid the MA taxbill on his multimillion dollar yacht). What is weird here is that it is now the Globe digging up “inconvenient truths” about Fauxcahontas’s record. Are they playing a game on behalf of some faction of the Dem Party or — and it makes me queasy to consider it — has El Globo grown a spine and decided it’s more important to stick up for the priciple of afirmative action than it is to protect Grandma Liz’s chance to unseat the hated Scott Brown?
