Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) really has a way with words. Fortunately for Karl Rove, it’s a way that makes keeping a Republican Congress easier.
For Republicans, Kerry is the gift that keeps on giving. For Democrats, he’s turning out to be the October surprise and Halloween all wrapped into one.
The Internet, of course, is abuzz with a comment Kerry made during a Los Angeles campaign event last night.
“You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
Kerry, as we all recall, is the same Democratic presidential candidate who set off celebrations in Republican headquarters in 2004 when he uttered the infamous “I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it,” when he was trying to explain his position on funding the Iraq War

His 2 PM presser should be even better!
How nice of Kerry to "praise our troops". It is rumored that Kerry once served in Vietnam.
Oh but they will try; their "survival" depends on it. Look for spins where us poor, unwashed, tax-paying patriotic rubes "misunderstood" the Nuanced One's oh-so-intelligent ruminations...
Has even one 'Rat stepped forward to disavow Kerry's comment?
Karl Rove's orbital mind control lasers were worth every penny that Diebold and Halliburton spent on them.
Which, like the Reed story and all corrupt democrat stories will go - nowhere.
You've got to love the fact that the leftist media is not going to try to pin next week's loss at the foot of HRH Kerry.
There is AMAZING irony it that. LOL.
Now the spin is a mangled "joke". Iraq is real funny Ketchup Boy. Thanks so much for being you--and in such a timely fashion...
Comments like his latest are why he's so popular in the democrat party.
John Kerry is a f'ing genius!!!!
LOL!!!
I work in engineering and a good percentage of the techs and engineers have a military background.
Kerry is an idiot!
He was just revealing his perception and his disdain for the military.
So whats his excuse? that he was talking about the President? Sure doesnt read that way.
No, this one has some legs. MSM cannot completely bury this story. RATS must be enraged from coast to coast. Ironically, Kerry probably helped himself with the far left for the 2008 RAT nomination, so I hope he tries to thread a needle on this later today. It won't work, and it will keep the story alive.
Gee, I guess if you're a C student in Yale, you'll probably end up in Vietnam. Should've hit the books, John. Wait -- if you had, you'd be a Republican!
Some of the pro-Kerry remarks that follow this article at the original website are just so funny.
I can actually believe this. The guy is so awkward, and he is so bad with jokes (he was terrible on the talk show circuit), that I can imagine him thinking that the dig against Bush here was obvious. He probably thought himself so clever.
I suspect he will try to explain the joke, and use the opportunity to bash Bush, Republicans, and Doughy people.
Typical elitist liberals. That's what lefties think of Soldiers Sailors, Airmen and Marines. They are just idiots who don't know any better than to defend their country.
Maybe Kerry is Rove's October surprise.
