John Kerry - what a dork

This much attention shouldn't been given to a joke gone awry, yet is typical that it has.

Kerry apologized very prettily for any misunderstandings or offense to the troops. This should satisfy any more criticism about it. I think any more criticism will just end up making the critics look churlish and petty.

Anyone heard any updates about the missing soldier in these last few days?

What exactly was the joke?

"Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush."

"Education, you know, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

woiyo, are you equating poor with uneducated?

Kerry is.

I was poor, but educated and a minority.

I know exactly what he meant in 1972 and he has not changed, IMO, today.

Are YOU suggesting I should not have been insulted by Kerry;s statements in 1972 or Tuesday?

Are you suggesting that it was a funny joke that if you do not do your homework, you may get us stuck in Iraq like GW did/has? Are you suggesting that is a FUNNY JOKE?

A friend of mine HAD a son in Iraq. He is DEAD. Have you stopped laughing yet?

I would never suggest that John Kerry ever told a funny joke. Instead, I suggest that he was calling George Bush stupid, and that you should not be insulted unless you are George Bush.

Kerry didn't say anything about being uneducated in that 1972 quote. And he didn't say anything about being poor on Tuesday.

Good for you.

What exactly did he mean then? I interpret his comments to mean that he was concerned that the poor and working class and minorities would be fighting and dying for the rich and white. That's his opinion and I don't find it insulting to anyone. I'm curious why you would.

I'm not laughing, but our fearless leader thinks it's funny that he can't find WMD. Are you laughing with him?

Based on your statements, I suggest you go get an education and study or you are headed for Iraq soon.

You're as big a a-hole as Kerry. As ill-concieved a plan put together by GW and his administration, I have never heard him make an insulting comment about the military.

Unfortunately, I currently residde in the State that Sen Kerry represents.

I am embarrassed to have him as my representative and he is an embarrasement to the State of Mass.

As far as I am concerned, he was a coward in 1972 and still hold the same low opinion of our military.

woiyo, you are entitled to your opinion about your elected representative, but I leave you with this. Bush thinks we're stupid enough to jump to angry conclusions about misinterpreted, out of context remarks. He thinks we're prone to see insult where there isn't any if given the right suggestion through the media. Is he right?

This time, you are wrong. It is not about Bush. It is about Kerry and his stupid comments.

I think the blame Kerry clause is now in effect if they lose.

Really? Would you even know he said these things if the Republicans weren't losing? You're too sensitive on this one, woiyo.

The people who owe our troops an apology are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney who misled America into war and have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it. These Republicans are afraid to debate veterans who live and breathe the concerns of our troops, not the empty slogans of an Administration that sent our brave troops to war without body armor.

"I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform, and I personally apologize to any service member, family member or American who was offended," Kerry said in a statement Wednesday.

You amaze me. Are you as dumb as the Duck?

How many times have I said in THIS POST, that I do not support GW?

What part of GW BLEW THIS WAR do you NOT undersatand?

You problem is you do NOT know how to be objective.
