Greg in TX22 notes Tom DeLay’s shifting rationales for why he cut and run in CD22. I’m sure if someone were to ask him again in a couple of months, he’d have another explanation for it.

    It is somewhat disingenuous to tweak someone for having multiple rationales for a complex personal decision. Humans are arbitrarily complicated beings; we do almost nothing for only one reason and almost everything for a complex of reasons whose relative importance is difficult to measure and subject to reinterpretation.

    Compare a skateboard punk: Is he doing something stupid for the adrenaline rush, or to impress a girl, and how will he answer when you ask him?
