Bush isn't smart and is intellectually lazy, but Kerry can't read off a piece of paper.

SHOW ME THE PAPER! This is the fourth rendition I have heard from his staff as to "how" he botched the joke.

Credit given where credit due: He botched!

The only botched joke here is

President Kerry
Commander in Chief

"What would Gingrich, Lott, and a host of other honorable men who did stupid things do?"

We KNOW what they all did. Therein lies the difference between the honorable men who did stupid things and DEMOCRATS.

This guy is unreal! He says he is apologizing, and he turns around and insults the military even MORE! YES! KEEP TALKING SKERRY! lol!! This is unreal, is anyone else noticing this??

Read this thing...

"Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush."

One could assume he is referring Bush, but that can`t be as Bush went to Harvard earning an MBA, and intellectually lazy? I don`t think so.. I would hardly call a guy who has an MBA from Harvard who gets off his arse every day to jog "intellectually lazy"... So one could only take this current comment by SKerry as another dig at our military. What he is saying is "Our military is stupid and they got us stuck in Iraq and Bush knows this."

I don't see any apology to our honorable US military.

You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you tell botched jokes and ruin your party's election chances.

Wow! A defiant "apology." The media will redefine anything.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen on FR, and I've been around since way back in the Nineties.

And This:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061101/ap_on_go_pr_wh/white_house_kerry
"Former Democratic Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia, who lost both legs and an arm while serving in Vietnam, said, "The Republicans are so desperate that they'll take anything and try to make the most of it.""

They pull out Max Cleland, who was going for a drink when he picked up a grenade which blew up and caused his injuries. He may have been drunk (or was fragged).

Max Cleland is not a very good source of support, imo.

The thanks goes to Dead for his instant creativity yesterday.

" I'm John Kerry and I apologize because the rightwing dummies in the military don't understand my jokes.

If they had stayed in school they would know that I was in Viet Nam, not long but, long enough to get 3 purple oowees, I mean hearts, and am proud of myself.

Well, I'm proud of the troops too....Who wrote this $hit?

Do you really want me to read this? Is this F'ng Mic still on?
OH crap...Teresa is drunk again. Someone get her off the stage!

Don Imus: stop John...Please just stop."

Here's more:

Earlier Wednesday, Sen. John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat and 2004 presidential contender, became the first member of the Senate to suggest Lott was now unfit to lead the upper chamber. "It saddens me greatly to suggest this, but in the interests of the Senate, his party, and the nation, I believe Trent Lott should step aside as majority leader," Kerry said. "I simply do not believe the country can today afford to have someone who has made these statements again and again be the leader of the United States Senate."

Is this where your double-standard kicks in, Mr. Kerry?

Guess what? If he apologizes now... Who gives a FLYING FIG!

It won't mean JACK SQUAT, because the only reason he'll be apologizing is because he's being FORCED to!

If he does, just watch the media try and back his sorry ass up as if he were really sincere!

Skerry now has two things to apologize for. The slur against our troops and his lie to try and cover it up.
