Kerry can sputter all he wants. His party is stuck with his black and white words:

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

Paul Simon said it best. "Everything looks worse in black and white."

It's good to remind the dems every now and then why Kerry lost. It is so easy to dislike him. And then he says something to confirm it. (Let's not even bring up "Teh-ray-zahhhh.")

I look forward to a full report on this outrage tonight on Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

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

Kerry's not wholly wrong on this. If you don't study hard, you do have few options. For kids who can't get a merit-based scholarship to college, the military (and by extension) Iraq is their ticket out of poverty.

The fact that the military is a ticket out of poverty is not a bad thing. The bad part is that there are so few other options.
