As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: my poorly stated joke at a rally was not about, and never intended to refer to any troop.
I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform, and I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was offended.
It is clear the Republican Party would rather talk about anything but their failed security policy. I dont want my verbal slip to be a diversion from the real issues. I will continue to fight for a change of course to provide real security for our country, and a winning strategy for our troops.

Kerry's "apology": "I'm sorry you're all so stupid you couldn't read my mind and figure out what I meant to say and instead listened to what I actually said."
What a loser.

I thought he "refused to apologize" and now he is giving a scripted, crappy apology that NO ONE should accept. How hard would it have been to leave out the Republican attack in there? Anyone with a brain can see through this. Just say "I'm sorry"

Here is the original version of Kerry's apology:
"I am sorry that members or our military are not smart enough to recognize what I meant by my joke. I was making fun of the president. I apologize that our soldiers to not possess the intellectual where with all to understand my superior joke telling prowess."

Oh, yeah! This really corrects all this. What a sincere and straightforward apology. Sheesh!
To: areafiftyone
As a combat veteran...John Kerry served? Really? He never mentions that.
To: areafiftyone
What, he doesn't have the testicular fotitude tyo say this in person>>
I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted...
Nice passive voice there, Johnny. And it sounds like he's calling folks who were offended stupid.
Can't you frigging apologize without insulting someone, again, first?!

Democrats love to beat up on Bush and say he can never "own up to his mistakes." Here's a great moment in hypocrisy as John Kerry can't admit to the mistake he made, instead blaming us for not "interpreting" his words correctly. Yes, we're too stupid and simple to grasp the complex meaning behind your vicious insults. I never again want to hear another DemoCrite claim Bush won't admit mistakes when Kerry can't bring his prideful self to admit he was wrong and to issue an unequivocal apology.

the man doesn't have the class to stand up like a man and apologize in public - he has to hide behind whoever writes his web stuff.
