He also said he had a sore shoulder when he threw a first pitch 20 feet shy of home plate. What a cretin.

Should have tried the "I was drunk" excuse.
Or "I was molested by a Priest as a teen" excuse.
DU is like an ant hill that's been stepped on today. I must say, it's great entertainment!
We've all gotten tongue-tied and said things we didn't mean to say, and sometimes the results were offensive or explicit, like the old "two pickets to Titsburgh" joke. That happens to the best of us. No problem. Invariably, though, when that happens, we immediately get all red-faced and try to correct our error, usually by taking a deep breath, saying "Let me try that again," and saying what we really *meant* to say.
There is only one exception to this rule - when we don't think we said anything wrong.
Watch the video. Kerry didn't think he said anything wrong.
I was for the "botched joke" before I was against it!
"My Truth is that I am a Gay American..."
The joke was only botched because the audience that would find it funny is not "the public" but a limited group of arrogant, classist, elitist, lefties.
If he told that joke to that limited audience the room would be filled with har hars and yesses.
But do they listen? Nooooooooo!
Wow. I scooped the WSJ.

Kerry's the gaff that keeps on gaffing.
Sopt on. Liberal "humor" often has a theme of condescension attached to it. I've worked around many liberals for many years, and they are precisely what you say: arrogant, classist, elitist, lefties.
Exactly! I laughed out loud to think that Kerry tried to say that Bush is stupid but only made himself out to be the dunce. Who's stupid now, Kerry!
How could it possibly be a joke about Bush?
Bush did stay in school. He graduated from Yale. He went on to earn an MBA from Harvard.
So, Kerry's set up line for a supposed Bush joke makes no sense.
The only hypothesis that conforms to the actual facts is that Kerry thinks the Army relies on drop outs and dunces to fill its ranks. This is factually untrue. Data show current recruits have better academic records than the average American of similar age. Since the facts don't support Kerry's statement, the only explanation left is blind contempt for those who choose to defend their country. This blind contempt has been Kerry's mindset since his days in Vietnam.
