CHICAGO - The other day, Donald Trump criticized Warren E. Buffett for ostentation, the French accused the Belgians of being snooty and Kid Rock lamented the decline of good manners. Sound impossible? You're right. But they're no more unlikely than the truth, which is President Bush attacking John Kerry for changing his positions.

"Senator Kerry clearly has strong beliefs," Mr. Bush quipped recently. "They just don't last very long." He says his Democratic challenger has flip-flopped on the Iraq war, tax cuts, the Patriot Act and NAFTA.

Changing positions is something Mr. Bush knows a lot about. He does it all the time, even as he pretends to be steady and sure. But what he lacks in consistency, he makes up in certitude. He's a man who believes what he says, even if what he says is exactly the opposite of what he said yesterday.

2. I really liked this line

"A guy who uses a hammer on a nail and a screwdriver on a screw, in Mr. Bush's book, is guilty of flip-flopping. A man of principle uses a hammer for every task."
