I'm having a hard time seeing what the heck is so insulting in Kerrey's statement. Is it his name that's insulting? Or his father's heritage? You'd have to be a genuine panty-waist to be miffed over anything Kerrey said.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey has apologized to Barack Obama for any unintentional insult he committed by raising the Democratic presidential candidate's Muslim heritage while endorsing rival candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Kerrey sent a letter to Obama on Wednesday, lauding the Illinois senator's qualifications to be president and saying that he never meant to harm his candidacy. Kerrey told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he sent the letter on his own and had not spoken to Clinton or her campaign about the comments he made Sunday in Iowa.
"What I found myself getting into in Iowa - and it was my own fault - it was the wrong moment to do it and it was insulting," Kerrey told the AP. "I meant no disrespect at all."

Sorry about the double post, Mrs. Alaska distracted me {never my fault}. It was good enuff to read twice.
Though I am pretty sure Hillary! put him up to it. Kind of like when the mad bomber asks you to carry a backpack. You don't know what is in the pack, and it is the mad bomber's fault that people get blown up, but you probably should be smarter than that.
His 15 minutes were up years ago.

The fact that he was born to a proud Muslim extremist and is still alive shows he is still a Muslim...not that their’s anything wrong with that...so what’s he ashamed of??
That's another thing: where is the standard "Muslim outrage" response? There is ALWAYS "Muslim outrage" whenever an infidel mentions a Muslim or worse, calls an alleged infidel a Muslim. So why's it so quiet?
Barack still stinks.
It is never the wrong moment to call out a closet islamist.
Perhaps, once the campaign has a full head of steam, Billary will give the okay for everyone and anyone to make reference to Barack.
Until then:
Barack HUSSEIN Obama
Barack HUSSEIN Obama
Barack HUSSEIN Obama
Closeted islamist.
Closeted islamist
Closeted islamist.
I can't believe I'm actually doing something in support of the damn Clintons, but, well, I'd rather have a dumpy old hag in the White House than a jihadist islamist.
(Ain't neither one gonna happen, but just in case...)
LOL. The non-apology apology.
What was the smear. Everything he said was true. Is the truth a smear now?
It is an inconvient truth that is not spoken by fellow communist travelers about comrades. Therefore, it is a slime.
To his deaf brother.

I'm waiting for a belated apology from Team Hillary! for any suggestion that Obama dealt cocaine. It will look something like this:
We're very sorry we said or did anything to suggest Obama was a cocaine dealer.
