Democrats ditch bungling Kerry

But yesterday he said: “Of course I’m sorry about a botched joke. I mean, you know, it’s pretty stupid.”

Yes. John Kerry is damn stooopid.

[Constantine XIII]

ROFL!

[pissant]

Yesterday Dick Cheney, the Vice-President, twisted the knife with a direct reference to this when he told a campaign rally: “Of course, now Senator Kerry says he was just making a joke. I guess we didn’t get the nuance. He was for the joke before he was against it.”

Ouch

On Fox news tonight, the best comment so far:

I think that John Kerry's "apology" came after some serious waterboarding at the DNC.

[Question Liberal Authority]

does this go with the John 16:3 line?

From the book of Chris Matthews, 26:34: "John Kerry said unto the Democrats, Verily I say unto thee, That this election cycle, before the polls close, thou shalt deny me three times."

[Argus]

Kerry reminds me of Lt. Tom Keefer in THE CAINE MUTINY (Fred MacMurray played the role in the movie), the snobbish weasel who incites the other officers to mutiny against Humphrey Bogart, then leaves them to twist in the wind at their court martial. There's a remarkable similarity there.

That photo has been posted at least a few million times all over over the internet, Fox News, and other balanced networks.

Finally the RATs get a clue. I'm actually surprised they did so quickly this time

[JRochelle]

During the stampede, I hope everyone stayed away from Debbie Stabenow.
She would smash anyone flat.

[Non-Sequitur]

Does it surprise you? If a Republican had said something like, "I believe that a major tax increase is necessary" how many of his peers would be pounding him on the back and supporting him?

[EDINVA]

don't forget ... they wouldn't let Jimmuh Carter at their 1984 convention

Can anyone think of one joke Yaaawn has ever made??

The guy has the sense of humor of a mortician.

Pray for W and The Election

"...with remarks implying US troops in Iraq are there because they are stupid."

Carry's non-appology appology starts out by implying that those who are offended by his remarks don't have a sufficient grasp of English to understand his "joke."

Well as I understand it The Times of London is the eldest English language newspaper in England the home of the English language and its reporter seems to have failed to understand it also.

Wonder who is English impaired.

They threw their nominee under the bus and then backed over him a few times. :-} Ah sweet justice.

[sidetracked]

"... some serious waterboarding at the DNC."

I fell off the couch I started laughing so hard...

The mental picture generated is seared into my memory!

[MadIvan]

Kerry is so humour challenged that it's nearly inconceivable that he would try to make a joke.

Kerry is such a buffoon... He should resign. The Senate should demand it.

Kerry doesn't hold a candle to this guy: Brian., decorated, retired Air Force 2005, Ph.D. Mathematics, MS Electrical Engineering (, fluent in six languages (Spanish, Italian, French, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese).

Kerry can't touch this kid's record to date either: Laurie - This 20 year old, junior, nursing major, 3.8 GPA contracted this summer to be an Army Nurse.

[TexasPatriot8]

And just a week before the election. Priceless. :)

Does anyone have a link where that Kerry clip can be DL'ed in .avi or .wmv or .mov format? I'd love to have that clip to play now and then and relive just what an idiot that stupid stupid man is.

LOL!!

Sad, but for non-news/political intelligent folks that comment would go over the heads of over half the voters.
