Yes, but his camp's explanation was that a couple of words would have clearly implied that it was the President, not the troops, being insulted. If that argument is true, and he had made the remark "as scripted," then you wouldn't have any basis for accusing him of insulting the troops, because the insult would have been aimed at Bush and we'd all know it.

So a United States Senator goes before a group and trash-talks the US military, its CIC, and the war effort as stupid and uneducated, and you think this is a funny joke?

His party has been defending Saddam and Sons for 3 years, calling a US President a liar about WMD, slandering the CIC with a charge of a war for oil profits, and pretending that the Islamic Cults blowing up innocents in Iraq are somehow WINNING?

They have aided, abetted and comforted these terrorists for 4 years running, and I have no basis to accuse him and his party of "insults"?

Complete nonsense.
