RE: Kerry ripped for Iraq remark...
Jennifer comments: Why would you not simply stand up and say, "To our men and women of the military I sincerely apologize for the way I worded my joke and I certainly meant no dishonor to your service or your intelligence. My intention was to point out the President's broken policy, not to insult our military."
Yes, Jennifer. He should say that, but he hasn't. He probably won't. Why do you think that Dubya beat this guy? He's more unlikable than Dubya is incompetent, which is pretty unlikable. Just think: Kerry and Dubya were our choices in our last presidential election. That's the best our two party system can offer us? Is there any wonder why people are increasingly unwilling to vote when given choices such as that? Again, I recommend the South Park episode, 'Douche and Turd' ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douche_and_Turd ) for a good laugh — or a good cry, take your pick.
As Andy previously pointed out regarding this story, Kerry's 'joke' was a very dumb thing to tell at any time — especially a couple of weeks before elections. And yes, I'm sure his Democrat peers are livid. However, this type of stuff still comes down to the empty politics of the empty-headed. After all, as Jennifer explained above, most of us understand what Kerry meant — his "intention was to point out the President's broken policy, not to insult our military" — even though he said it in a highly inappropriate way. If Kerry's comment draws more votes for Republicans, then what exactly are those folks voting for? If Americans are shallow enough to miss the forest for the trees — voting based on hyped gaffes rather than real issues — then I guess we'll always get exactly what we deserve.
