Why Didn't He Say So Sooner?

Recently comes the rather lame "revelation" that John "F" Kerry didn't say that he had the support of "foreign" leaders, but of "more" leaders. This from a reporter who went back and listened again to the tapes of the encounter (not that we have the slightest reason to doubt said reporter's objectivity).

The intemperate question that immediately raises its ugly head is: Why didn't Kerry himself say something when the controversy first hit the fan? He certainly had plenty of opportunity. Are we to believe that he doesn't see the difference between "more" and "foreign"?

And -- just to sweeten the pot -- why did he tell one questioner over the weekend that "it's none of your business" who these more/foreign leaders are?
