#3 He muffs a stupid "joke" like that, compounds the insult, and he calls the troops (and the Prez) idiots?

This "clarification" had to have been written by one of the Kos Kiddies. No one else could be that stupid. (Ok, except for Lurch himself....)

#4 ~~Carrie's~~ Kerry's only hope for resurrection now is to invoke the Halloween defense, and claim that he was possessed by demons (gibberish decoder ring translation: Rove).

And who wouldnt believe it?

#5 Demonic possession or not, Congress should be called to special session, and make ev'r last one o' dem sons-o-bitches vote yea or nay to censure Mssr. Kerry (who is reported to be American).

#6 The D student lives down to his expectations. Lest we forget, this is not the first time Jean Francois Kerry insulted the US men and women in uniform.

#7 If only Kerry could be on the receiving end of some real fire.

#8 Jeez, did underestimate Kerry's vanity. I expected him to slink off for a few days to the mansion in Martha's Vineyard and let the networks bury this story. But Nooo, he has to stage, what like, 3 news conferences yesterday, digging a deeper hole each time. So much so it became the lead evening news story. Anyway, John, glad you are once again reporting for duty.

#9 ...FWIW, this is the email I sent to J. F'n K. this morning - and I urge EVERY 'Burger to do the same:

Senator Kerry -

Sir,
I must respectfully but firmly ask you to reconsider and apologize for your comments regarding the intelligence of our fighting men and women. The average educational level of the US military stands in direct and unquestionable reproof to your statements, and a prompt apology - blaming and chastising no one but yourself, is most definitely in order.
I had the honor and privlege of serving my country for twenty years, during which time I earned an Associate of Science degree in Munitions Systems and a Bachelor of Arts degree(with honors)in Interdisciplinary Studies - and I was far from alone in my education. I consider your statements not only a slap at the men and women currently serving but myself and those I served with as well.
And finally sir, I am medically unable to return to duty - but were it possible, I would take my poor education and report in as much time as it would take to pack my bags.

Respectfully,

Michael J. Kozlowski
SSgt, USAF (Ret)

Mike

#11 "The people who owe our troops an apology are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney who misled America into war"

It should come as no surprise that this was Kerrys first response. The Democrats I know I am but what are you? line has been the standard bearer spin to deflect all criticism. Look no further then the shrill and repetitive slogan of The President has no plan for Iraq. This has been their mainstay obfuscation to the fact that they dont have a workable solution of their own. The botched joke excuse is simply another version of the You misunderstood the nuance of my statement. (Oooh boy Senatorthats a good un! Tell um the one about the IED.) Predictably the next angle is The vast right-wing slime machine is twisting statements out of context. After all its an election year dont cha know.

I submit Sen. Durbins defiant response (P.2)to his infamous Pol Pot speech. (This was made prior to his apology in face of an eminent censure.) See if you can spot a pattern.

"The White House lashes out to me, and pretty soon the mainstream media , it just follows. It has happened time and time again. They have a good way of starting the news when they want to protect the president, but the reality is, as the poll numbers show this morning, despite all this effort, the American people are very worried about what's happening in Iraq."

#12 Somebody needs to ask Kerry what the "botched joke" was supposed to be. I can't see a joke in there anywhere.

#13 It wasn't even funny as issued in the "prepared remarks".

#14 It is amazing to me that people say that President Bush is inarticulate with this asshat running around. He is the master of the run-on sentence that, if there were any point at its inception, is a total muddle by the end.
