WHAT JOHN KERRY SAID:
“You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
HOW HE APOLOGIZED:
"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."
“Let me make it crystal clear, as crystal clear as I know how: I apologize to no one for my criticism of the president and of his broken policy.”
Hmm…he’s not sorry, or apologetic, and definitely not repentant, for anything he said. He’s just upset that his “words were misinterpreted,” and he’s only sorry that people were offended by it.
Slick Dick had a good response. “Of course, now Senator Kerry says he was just making a joke, and he botched it up,” Vice President Dick Cheney said in remarks prepared for a campaign appearance in Montana. “I guess we didn’t get the nuance. He was for the joke before he was against it.”
Then again, perhaps Kerry’s bad joke is true. After all, our Haughty French Looking Senator from Massachusetts who by the way served in Vietnam was in a man in uniform, and apparently he got 4 D’s his freshmen year at Yale, one more D his sophomore year, and an overall grade average of 76. Don’t study = get stuck in ‘Nam.
Or, as Jay Leno notes, “those who don’t campaign well and are really boring will get stuck in the Senate…It’s so hard to believe Kerry botched a joke because he’s usually just so hilarious. ... It’s hard to tell when Kerry is joking because of all the Botox. ... Who would have ever thought that the Democrats would miss the wit and charisma of Al Gore?”
Disclaimer: I contemplated posting this yesterday, but decided not to on principle – John Kerry deserves to get NO mention, good or bad, on Election day.

Those Leno comments are awesome. I think that's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.
