I, for one, don't believe it was a botched joke. It fits well in context with many of Kerry's other comments about the military and what was trotted out as what was supposed to be the joke didn't make sense in relation to Bush given a Harvard and Yale education...unless Kerry is admitting those schools turn out shoddy students....such as himself.

Kerry is a psychopath.

At least he fits many of the traits.

See for yourself. Excerpted from the following website...

http://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/428/428lect16.htm

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?
