If he's smart (and there's no sign of it) he'll apologize quickly. Like Senator Durbin the turbin the longer this draws out the more it puts the Defeatocrats lack of vision on the War on display.

"“my statement yesterday, and the White House knows this full well, was a botched joke about the president and the president’s people, not about the troops.”"
It was directly about the "troops". And Kerry is himself a botched joke.
"Let's get this straight: John Kerry is saying that he should not apologize for the vicious comment he made, because even though we have him dead to rights on video, he claims he never made the comment.
He is out of his mind."
Actually, he's saying he botched the vicious comment he was going to make, and instead made an even more vicious comment that actually reflects his inner feelings.
