#3 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. John Kerry apologized on Wednesday for a "botched joke" that had drawn fire from President George W. Bush and dominated debate in the last days of a bitter fight for control of Congress.

Yahoo news say he apologized, here, but the guts of the whole article are below.

Kerry said his remarks about Iraq troops to a college crowd in California were aimed at Bush, not the military, and canceled campaign appearances on behalf of Democratic candidates to avoid becoming a bigger distraction.

If that's his idea of an apology, that's what he said yesterday.

#9 I wonder if that pic will be on Pg 1 above the fold of the WaPo or NYT tomorrow morning. You know it would if a trunk had said something that stupid.

#17 I just can not believe Kerry hasn't put an end to this at any cost.
He is being beaten worse than a rented mule on a mexican beach,and he still won't plead stupid.
I'm sure all of those millions spent on dem advertising today are hitting home!

#19 It's worse than that, 49 Pan. He's both a snob and deeply insecure. I still remember that bio of him that the Boston paper ran before the 04 election. We were supposed to feel sorry for him because his branch of the family couldn't keep up financially with the Kennedys etc. and his aunt had to pay his way through the outrageously expensive exclusive prep school. That made him disadvantaged, you see ...

Well the pitch was a loser, but it did illuminate something deep in his character. Those really rich kids were from Republican families, ergo he would be a Dem. And while he looks down on your average American he also secretly feels inadequate in the social class to which he aspires.

It's a neurotic mess and he keeps acting it out, over and over again. Filming himself acting out combat in Vietnam so he could be a hero like the real JFK was only one instance ... 30+ years later he's no farther along in his psychological growth.

I mean, REALLY: suggesting that he's the manly man whom Republicans are afraid to debate? That's PATHETIC. Bush has more masculinity without thinking about it than this metrosexual jerk can dream about mustering by will power and bluster.

In a lot of ways he's a wannabe to Bush. Bush may not be articulate, but he's a natural athlete. Kerry's an uncoordinated klutz whose sports are individual things like windsurfing. Bush digs in his heels on things he feels are really important, like Iraq. Kerry THINKS he's being equally strong by refusing to apologize, but it's off key and counterproductive because it comes from weakness, not strength.

I could almost feel sorry for him if I didn't know how he betrayed our troops during Vietnam and since.

#20 Nice analysis, lotp. There is certainly a psychosis at play - and it is apparent enough to the casual observer that it completely confounds me he has ever been re-elected to anything, much less the US Senate. Given Kerry, and Kennedy - his equally psychotic mirror image, it is obvious the majority in MA are total suckers for this arrogant snobbish asinine behavior and are equally as flawed. Neither would make it to a small city council in Texas, for instance.

#21 Every once in a while you meet someone who is articulate, can spell, and clearly says what we all wish we could. LOTP here at RB that person is you. Thanks for being here.
