There is someone on this forum that think Kerry is telling the truth about it being a botched joke? He just forgot to mention the president, or structure the sentence in a way where it could be used to refer to him. And he was going to joke that not studying can lead to you being a two term president, with an ivy league MBA, a fighter pilot background and a stint as owner of a baseball team?
I've watched the extended version of that video. There is no way that he didn't mean to say that. If you look at the video you hear a couple short chuckles and a bunch of gasps. The girl behind him to the right (his left) suddenly looks very uncomfortable standing there.
If he didn't mean to say that, he would have corrected himself immediately after he saw that reaction. Nope, he meant that exactly how he said it.
Yep. Republicans who are running with this are "lemmings" to our friend, Texaggie79
