"That doesn't make sense. How would someone without an education get us stuck in Iraq?"

Exactly.
They are really reaching here for alternatives that make no sense whatsoever.
The man meant to say exactly what he said - simple as that.

The fact that he's now trying to convince stupid/gullible 'ole me that I don't understand him just makes him seem even more detestable.

His explanation makes no sense either.

You're right about that, AZFolks. There is absolutely no way to twist what he said, into what he says he meant to say. Not a snowball's chance in hell. The only people who could believe such a thing after seeing the video, and hearing his response to the outrage over his comment, are the Liberals. They'd believe anything another Liberal says.

I apologize for the comments after I insisted I would never apologize.

Ah, but he didn't apologize for the comments. Just the botching [of anything he is involved in] of the joke.

Kerry's office said the senator had misread his prepared remarks.

MISREAD???? The words aren't even close. They should have said he misremembered unless they are saying Kerry can't read.

When did Kerry apologize for his botched joke? I heard him say "I apologize to no one."

Rush may be a donut-eater (who isn't?) but at least Rush has earned his own way through life.
A man who purports to be as smart as kerry thinks he is would be smart enough not to acknowledge dumb-asses like Limbaugh, no?

Dead created that wonder yesterday before and after Kerry's self inflicted implosion happened.

He had his chance to apologize!

He didn't!

Instead, he defiantly argued that his intended target was the Commander in Chief, inferring that if these young people didn't study and achieve scholastically, then they, too, might one day become President and get America "stuck in Iraq."

How stupid is that?

Such a lame excuse reveals an even more hollow head, accompanied by extreme arrogance!

A botched joke? I guess he wasn't thinking when he said this, right? Chronic "Foot-in-the-mouth" disease is what Kerry has.

To repeat an observation I made on a similar thread

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?

From:

"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 get stuck in Iraq."

To:

"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."

Call me crazy, but did he or didn`t he just insult our military even MORE?? The second one comes across to me as if he is saying our military is the reason we are stuck in a war because our military is stupid, and Bush knows about it. Holy shiet!! Yes, please keep talking sKerry! You are doing wonders for the Republican election campaign!
