john kerry is even less credible as a comedian than he was as a presidential candidate…and by the way, his ’08 campaign should now officially be over. watch the tears from republicans all across america at this turn of events. or not.
the alleged actual joke(from ace of spades):
It’s great to be here with college students. I can’t overstress the importance of a great education. Do you know where you end up if you don’t study, if you aren’t smart, if you’re intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush.
well…that’s much better, isn’t it? that certainly wouldn’t be offensive to anyone. still not funny. call jon stewart. get some better material, senator. thanks so much.
even when kerry apologizes, he still ends up sounding condescending and arrogant. he thinks the american people are stupid also. he thinks we have short memories. how else could he in good conscience produce an apology like this?
from johnkerry.com:
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.
poor misunderstood john kerry. he is merely a victim of “those right-wing nuts” and all those people who weren’t smart enough to understand what he meant by that statement. his problem is that not only do we understand what he meant, we passionately disagree with it. we remember his past statements, and discredit his explanations, because THIS IS what john kerry believes about our military.
then there’s this from hugh hewitt at townhall: john kerry had two different positions on a volunteer army. he was for it before he was against it. when he opposed it, he claimed that it would be “dominated by the underprivileged, be less accountable and be more prone to ‘the perpetuation of war crimes”. i suppose that was a botched joke too, senator? maybe we just misunderstood him again.
john kerry’s primary mistake is simply telling us what he really thinks. this is the guy who could have been our president. his record isn’t a creation of the vast right wing conspiracy. he believes what he said, and he’s apologizing because he got caught being honest (and because the democrats made him do it).
