I was involved in a copyright lawsuit six years ago. The party involved could have solved it on day one by writing me a check for $6,000 and the problem could have gone away, but they were (I imagine) worried about setting a precident. They fought me, and fought me, and fought me for three years of bad press for them on the web, tens of thousands in legal fees for them, and in the end they paid me...about six thousand dollars.

Point being? Kerry should have just said, "I stumbled on making a bad joke off the cuff about the President's policy in Iraq. I completely, totally, and respectfully apologise to the brave men and women in our military that I offended by my mistake." But his big ego and arrogance won't let him admit he was wrong. He will stick to the "well, it's really about Bush" defence, and it will be a blessing to the GOP from now to the election. People will see him, lying and spinning, and it will be a reminder of what they know in their hearts...that Democrats go home and sneer at the little people the moment they are out of the camera's eye.
