Kerry blows off again

Why should he appologize for people not unerstanding his joke? I don't appologize as it isn't my fault that people are too dense to understand. I think people should be appologizing to Kerry for jumping all over him and insinuating that he was insulting people that have been deployed.

Dude, when I heard what he said I was shocked. It basically sounded like he said that the stupid people who don't do well in school end up in the military. I don't think it was a case of not understanding a joke, it was him completely f-ing up a joke and insulting the military with his f-ed up version of the joke. The fault lies with Kerry and whoever prepared his notes.

I can't believe I'm totally agreeing with something posted by our own "Ann Coulter," but that Democratic Congressman is exactly right.

Correction: It was a bad joke gone worse.

He should apologize (1) because as scripted it was a bad joke, and as delivered it was much worse, and (2) because the problem is not that people were too dense to understand what he said. The problem was that he "botched" the joke badly, and people understood him to mean what he actually said, not what he meant to say.


What an embarrassment.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. What about his "joke" should we all understand?......or maybe you missed the part when both parties and the public in general felt it was absolutely dispicable and ludicrous....even if he did "botch" it. Nothing about his comments sounded like a joke, nor did he say it in a joking manner. I didn't exactly hear a bunch of college students laughing about it when the footage was shown on FoxNews.


...but maybe they are all "too dense to understand."

You said it yourself, they watch Faux News, ergo, they are dense.

[macallan25]

They who? Who is they? I said when I saw the footage on FoxNews.....Ok, maybe I should have said......"when I saw the footage on every major news network on televison.....I didn't see anyone completely understanding and laughing histerically at his well timed "joke.""

Aside from not making any sense, thanks for cutting up and skewing my response into something not even close to what I originally typed. I guess they don't teach reading comprehension at OU, not to mention that you all must have God-awful senses of humor.

....but hey, again, maybe a huge majority of the general public and both the democratic and republican parties are just "dense."

Many conservatives would like it if he did but they shouldn't. They should be proud of an American "sticking to his guns" or "staying the course" if you will. Oh that,'s right, it's no longer about staying the course...

Why do we need apologies for these statements? I agree it was wrong but we should be searching for ppologies from people that sent your men and women to Iraq for a number of improper reasons, regardless of why we are there now, staying the course and whatnot.
