"Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) issued a new apology today for a "botched joke" that has been interpreted as a slap at U.S. troops, saying he did not intend to disparage any service members....Kerry's office today released the text of his remarks as prepared for delivery at a campaign appearance for Phil Angelides.... According to Kerry's camp, the gaffe occurred when he departed from the prepared text, as he often has done in the past when delivering speeches........."

Option A - Kerry mangeled a joke about President Bush but is too big a putz to admit a mistake.
Option B - Kerry has had his people concoct a speech "text" that provides cover for his explanation that he really meant to joke at President Bush's expense.

Not to be believed.
this is a big CYA being pulled off.
I must have missed the "old" apology. Last I heard, he wasn't going to apologize to anyone.
Why is it whenever I hear or read that "botched joke" line, I think of "botched abortion"??????
IF the GOP doesn't mount a serious challenge to this traitor next time he runs, something is really wrong with this country.
"I'm sorry you people are too dumb to understand what I meant to say.
I'm a great war hero and I'd never say anything bad about people in uniform.
Bush is an idiot and all the rest of you right wingers are fools."
People laugh at "botched jokes" because you come off looking like a buffoon. No one was laughing at Hanoi Boi. They new he was on another one of his insane rants about the American troops torturing women and children in Iraq? Was that a "botched joke" also? The liberal WaPo sucks. It prints too many lies.
Hello, I'm John Kerry. I said remarks the other day that were wrong. Out of place and rude in their tone and content. I make no excuse for it...they were wrong. I am sorry. I will offer NO caveats. I will blame no one but me.
Thats how you do it you self-absorbed, vicious, liberal Cut-N-Run weasel.
Idiot people bought the "wardrobe malfunction" story, so some will buy the "joke Malfunction" story. Hey Kerry, DO quit your day job.....you have NO humor about you....anywhere.....your Valet ManServant that makes your peanut butter sandwiches is probably more humorous.
"Last I heard, he wasn't going to apologize to anyone."
Well, no doubt he's apologized profusely to a whole national SLATE of Liberal candidates whom he's jeopardized by letting slip his true feelings.
But no, he hadn't initially intended to apologize to those he insulted...
Too little to late. Would not believe the Gospel of St. John from this pathetic piece of crap. He is the lowest of the low.
There can be no doubt that this was the real text. A handwriting expert certified that "This is the speech I was supposed to give" was written on it in Kerry's own hand writing!
It's pretty difficult for a Republican senatorial candidate to win in Kennedyland.
Who is going to believe this line of bull?
Anyone with a brain is going to know he is just making stuff up now. How dumb does he think the average American is? They will see through this tripe and punish him (the Dems) for it.
As usual from a lib paper, front page article is a criticism of Bush, not anything that's really happening.
