Sen. Kerry may have botched the line

Kerry botched nothing. He stated exactly what thought was in his mind.

Exactly, this is about the fifth rewrite of this "joke" each time trying to make it more credible. He said what he meant and meant what he said and one has to be pretty gullible to believe otherwise.

[Obadiah]

"...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Matthew 12:34-37
