Washington D.C. (AHN) - John Kerry and the White House entered into a heated argument through the media recently after Kerry made a comment about those off the academia track getting "stuck in Iraq."
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said Kerry owes an apology to those serving in Iraq and their families.
He said, "As for the notion that you can say this sort of thing about the troops and say you support them, it's interesting."
Kerry fired back, "I apologize to no one for my criticism of the president and of his broken policy. I'm not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium."
The decorated Vietnam War veteran added, "This is the classic GOP playbook. I'm sick and tired of a bunch of despicable Republicans who will not debate real policy, who won't take responsibility for their own mistakes, standing up and trying to make other people the butt of those mistakes. It disgusts me that a bunch of these Republican hacks who've never worn the uniform of our country are willing to lie about those who did."
Kerry made the original comment on Monday during a campaign event at Pasadena City College for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides. He also joked that President George Bush used to live in Texas but now "lives in a state of denial."
Bush said Kerry's comments were insulting and shameful during a campaign event in Georgia.
Now, if we're going to talk about INTELLIGENCE, Kerry should shut up, because SNOW will run circles around Kerry.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
Dems hate Snow's effectiveness.
That debate would be the intellectual equivalent of showing up at a gunfight with a knife.
Funny. McCain has called for the same thing all those others who never served called for. He asked Kerry to apologize. Do you think his request will carry any weight or will Kerry just ignore him and continue to insult the President and our troops?
Didn't he get a Purple Heart or something? I dimly remember hearing about that.
What a piece of work that Kerry.
"Kerry fired back, "I apologize to no one for my criticism of the president and of his broken policy"
This morning I got to finally hear Kerry's remarks that led up to his now famous comments about the troops. He was speaking to college students in Texas and making fun of President Bush by saying that he always thought Bush was from the state of denial, not Texas, but then he shifts gears (changes the subject) and says that the reason he is hear is to talk about education and goes into what we all heard him say about the troops in Iraq.
Not only is Kerry arrogant, he's also the worst liar I have ever heard.
It seems to be part of his name so far as the MSM is concerned. Like "increasing unpopular Iraq war" and "embattled Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld".
I used to think that Kerry was arrogant, but I've since come to the conclusion that he's just very, very stupid.
Anyone have link to video? Preferably the longer version?
Thx,

Every week, McCain wiggles a little more to the right. A year from now he's going to sound like an all out conservative. Kinda like Lieberman, but a Republican.
Well then, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton have no right to ever criticize President Bush again!
Would you, John Kerry, allow yourself to be lectured by Ortega? Hugo Chavez? Your buddies in other nations?
Tony Snow did not lecture you. I not once saw his finger in your face, John Kerry.
I've always thought arrogance was stupidity.
It's there.
Hey kerry, show us that piece of rice in your butt so we know you're not the liar!
