My comment was directed at those on this thread that are using this as an example to justify saying that Kerry is an idiot. Several have done so, and I would include them on the list of "unreasonable people".
Bush gaffes are shown on CNN Headlines news to 'prove' Bush is an idiot.
Kerry gaffes are whitewashed away.
These threads are useful if only to point out 'hey, the other guy does it' ... and frankly, Kerry does that sort of stuff more than Bush - they just dont report it.
