There is a Great Pumpkin.

[Liaison]

I do not know how such an uncouth lout with a fetish for sticking is sliver-coated, lead foot in his mouth ever came close to becoming president of the United States. As a member of the citizen-soldiery and a college graduate doing postgraduate studies who has been to Iraq twice I have a comment for Senator Kerry:

NUTS.

[Cobra64]

Botched joke my ass. Kerry is a liar. He's hated our military for years. He is a traitor who should have been hanged. IMO

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry’s “botched joke

Nah the MSM is NOT ALREADY taking his side are they?

Can't be!

[cinives]

“This is the classic GOP playbook,” Kerry said

And we say to sKerry, this is classic liberal avoid blame/slam the truth tactic perfected under the Clintoons and used by liberals ever since.

[DejaJude]

He stills owes an apology to the VN vets he LIED about.

[billhilly]

"Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran..."

This is so sickening. How many times do we need to be reminded. I, too, am a decorated veteran and would wager that there are thousands more who are freepers, like Jim Robinson. As for me, I figured it just came with the job and it certainly does not entitle me to any kind of special privilege.

That pompous ass gives veterans a bad name.

Kerry and the democrats vision of Election Day victory!

[hershey]

Kerry's campaign just flopped big time. No recovery possible, thank God.

[stockstrader]

Bush is ON A ROLL!!

It's great to see him as passionate as he is right now!! He can make a big difference in the days before the election. He needs to take the BULLY PULPIT every day--just like he is now!!

John Kerry is the hand grenade in the democrats picnic basket. Gonna be tough picking that schrapnel out from between their teeth.

“Senator Kerry not only owes an apology to those who are serving, but also to the families of those who’ve given their lives in this,” White House press secretary Tony Snow said. “This is an absolute insult.”

“This is the classic GOP playbook,” Kerry said in the harshly worded statement. “I'm not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium.”

Kerry needs to leave public life and play the role of a rich, spoiled, puffed-up elitist. At that, he's excels.

[kilowhskey]

As my Australian mates would say "John Kerry just stepped on his dick." That's an Aussie expression for a hugely embarrassing situation. What compounds the mistake is his belief that he is showing the world that he is a "real man" by his unwillingness to apologise. Every democrat congressman, senator and senior statesman needs to give this loser a public smackdown. Of course they won't, so we can continue to capitalize on the fact that John Kerry's original remark clearly reveals the democrat party's contempt for those defending our great nation.

[stockstrader]

YES!!!

The President is AWESOME!!!!

I have never been more proud of President Bush!!

[kilowhskey]

Hey Senator Kerry: SMILE! You're on candid Claymore!

[Red6]

"I apologize to no one for my criticism of the President and his broken policy" Kerry said.

This is mixing up two different things. His comments were obviously showing his contempt for military personnel.

He goes on to say never would he insult military personnel. Does he mean like his words in front of those infamous hearings where he said American troops murdered, tortured etc?

It is interesting to see that the more liberal MSM is always mentioning that he's a decorated Vietnam Veteran but fails to mention what he did when he returned and how he played this to his political advantage.

The truth accidentally "slipped out", and he's not apologizing he said. Why am I not surprised.

[RoadTest]

A loser cockroach like dipstick Kerry doesn't even think about the heroes in Iraq protecting his sorry butt, or, more accurately, protecting his useless head from being chopped off.

Our army is NOT made up of dropouts but intelligent patriots (Kerry the charlatan wouldn't even know what one of those was) making up the finest army that has ever fought anywhere.

I still wish our politicians had half the honor, fortitude and focus that our Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force people have! Our country would not be as threatened from within and without as it is.

God, bless our troops and protect them. God, please don't bless John Kerry. Not until he repents.

***“Education, if you make the most of it, you study hard and do your homework and you make an effort to be smart you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” ***

Or you could end up being a Massachusetts voter and voting for this POS and that other traitor fat Ted Kennedy.

***“I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium.”****

If there ever was a bigger piece of dog stool in the world than this guy,--- makes you just want to step on him and then wipe your shoes off on the grass.
