"Kerry's joke was directed at him, you can tell if you read Kerry's words in their context."

I don't buy that, Kerry said exactly what he meant to say, and the context was telling a roomful of CA college students how important THEIR education is so that THEY don't end up "stuck in Iraq" - if he were trying to make a lame "joke" about Bush (whose educational achievements match or surpass Kerry's) he would have worded the whole thing quite differently.

Let Matthews continue to defend what we all clearly understood. That is an insult to anyone with frickin' ears. We KNOW what he said, WHO he said it to, and WHAT he was talking about.
