WASHINGTON - Frustration over the prolonged Iraq conflict exploded onto the political scene yesterday as Republicans pounced on John Kerry for a botched joke and the Democrat slammed back at President Bush's "broken policy." With tensions escalating and the stakes high just a week before the midterm elections, the President led a GOP chorus demanding the Massachusetts senator apologize for a remark about how the uneducated "get stuck in Iraq."
But a furious Kerry refused to back down, saying he would never apologize for taking on the President - and that the criticism against him was orchestrated by "assorted right-wing nut jobs."

A gaffe is unintentionally saying what you really think.
Isn't there an old saying, "silence" implies consent?
Dems shouldn't be surprised that Kerry is doing to them what he has always done to our armed forces.
Kerry's words speak for themselves. That's all that our side has to say. Unless and until he apologizes, we need to kick him and every RAT from coast to coast.
Bears repeating. Any Republican campaign managers listening?
It's worse than we imagine, I don't even see Kennedy out defending him!
Which video is this? I looked at youtube but didn't see it. Is there another version? Thanks.
Yep, Dems are all hiding in the nearest hole, letting the MSM try to spin it away for them.
Which is why WE need to hold the Dems feet to the fire. I've contacted Bill Nelson's office and demanded that he distance himself from Kerry. So far, crickets chirping.
But they can't hide forever. And the longer the Dems try to keep a lid on it, the longer it stays in the news cycle, and the closer it gets to next Tuesday.
watch the tape over again, and just before Kerry delivers the botched line, (omits to say "us"), he looks down at his notes. He checked to make certain he would get the line exactly right.
And watch the people standing behind him. They don't laugh, they look perplexed at what he has said.
At least he fits many of the traits.
See for yourself. Excerpted from the following website...

here is a List of Common Psychopathic Traits
Glib and superficial charm; Grandiose sense of self-worth; Need for stimulation; Pathological lying; Conning and manipulativeness; Lack of remorse or guilt; Shallow affect; Callousness and lack of empathy; Parasitic lifestyle; Poor behavioral controls; Promiscuous sexual behavior; Early behavior problems; Lack of realistic, long-term goals; Impulsivity; Irresponsibility; Failure to accept responsibility for own actions; Many short-term marital relationships; Juvenile delinquency; Revocation of conditional release; Criminal versatility
My untrained eye finds Mister Kerry to have quite a few "matches" to the above. Perhaps you agree?
And this (to use his term) "nut job" came within a few electoral votes of winning.
Vewwy skewwy, n'est ce pas?
Sorry I don't know where to find it on the web, but it's the live clip that FNC showed yesterday and ran several times during the day. My guess is it'll be recycled quite a few times before the election. At least I hope so.
No, they didn't swallow it, they wanted to believe it. There is a profound difference. The MSM is aiding and abetting, again!
