Kerry: The Only Libertarian Choice!

This is the full story on top of Drudge right now (whatever the time code says down there):

In 1996 Senator John Kerry proposed to "get rid of the Agriculture Department," the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal. A move -- that if successful -- would have likely resulted in subsidies cuts and programs for Iowa growers. "I think we can reduce the size of Washington," Kerry said on January 6, 1996. "Get rid of the Energy Department. Get rid of the Agriculture Department, or at least render it three-quarters the size it is today; there are more agriculture bureaucrats than there are farmers in this country"…

I hate to question newsbreakers like Drudge, but, um, said to who, in what context, and according to whom? At any rate, if he somewhere said something like that to someone (I am especially amused by the precision of the date combined with the nonprecision of the source), then, he's my man! And a vote for him wouldn't be wasted like one for that sure loser Dean…
