If it is a joke that went badly, well, hopefully he'll learn from it and not make the same mistake again; it happens a lot that politicians or public speakers make jokes or lighthearted remarks in speeches and appearances, and those remarks don't go over well. I (and no one else on this board) can explain his motives or what he was thinking, and I'm not going to crucify him over one remark.
This doesn't change my opinion one way or the other. I have a whole bunch of reasons why I'm not a fan of Kerry (stories from staffers, his Senate record, etc.).

This is exactly right. As usual, some conservatives have jumped all over this. It is so retarded that it always seems to come down to 'lol lie-berals'. Seriously, shut up with your ham-fisted rhetoric. Just look at this from a human perspective. Botched joke, no one found it funny, Kerry screwed up and I don't think he'll let it happen again.
