I posted this on the other thread, but it bears repeating.
"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."
He says we are distorting this comment. Someone want to explain to me what there is to distort?
Look at these two parts specifically.
"...make and effort to be smart..."
"If you don't you get stuck in Iraq."
Nothing there to distort Kerry, you piece of sh**. You directly insulted our military men and women over there along with all the contractors and consultants who are over there helping them rebuild.
I think what he was implying was Bush was not smart and ended up in Iraq. Unfortunately for him and good for us he did not fill out the statement and it came out as an insult to the people in the armed forces.
It could have been a poorly worded attack on Bush's intelligence. In other words, "we're stuck in Iraq because Bush is dumb."
Follow the convoluted logic. If you don't study hard, do your homework, and make an effort to be smart, rather than DOING WELL, you will instead end up as President of the United States.
As President, you will get "Stuck" in Iraq, figuratively speaking, by sending the really smart kids who join the military to fight in the war.
I didn't say it would make any sense, but apparently Kerry thinks that winning the presidency is not something that is "doing well".
I guess that's actually BETTER for him than being caught saying only stupid people join the military.
