You agree with what part of what Matthews said?
I think Kerry misspoke. I think Kerry intended to say that if aren't educated you could get the country into Iraq (or something to that effect). It was suppose to be a slam on Bush. But he misspoke and it went downhill from there. I think for Kerry it was easy for him to make the error, because I think in his heart of hearts he really believes that those in the military are dumb, but I don't think he intended to say it.
I think that Kerry was attempting to make a joke about Dubya. It would go like this:
(1)Accept the Democrat lie the Dubya didn't do well in college.
(2) Accept the lie that we're stuck in Iraq
(3) Accept the lie that #2 above is based on Dubya's condut of the war.
(4)Then, ho ho ho, isn't it just a real knee slapper to suggest that if you don't do well in college you will be elected president and then get stuck in Iraq.
I have two comments: Even if I'm correct in so constructing this pathetic attempt at a joke, Kerry still has to apologizr for the other stuff he's said to denigrate our heroes in the CZ; AND, the guy is a social klutz of the first order. If he thinks that's a joke he really has no temperance, no sense of balance. GAWD I'm glad he's not prexydent. We'd probably be at war with The Andorra-Monaco alliance ... and losing.
