Kerry's tortured explanation? I was making fun of Bush's lack of education. Hmmmm, Bush has a Harvard MBA, while you Senator Kerry have a bachelor's degree. So how could you POSSIBLY have been making fun of Bush's education which is superior to your own? Nice try loser.

[Jeff Chandler]

Quite an October Surprise!

[Astronaut]

Kerry is an arrogant, elitist snob. He cant help showing it all the time. His big mouth is a gift for the GOP.

[ez]

IMHO the dumbest thing Kerry said was "trying to get smart" because that infers you're DUMB if you got caught in Iraq. Dumb@$$...

[psjones]

Even it was a joke aimed at the president, i think it's in poor taste. Didn't kerry himself vote to give the president authority to go into Iraq?

[Disturbin]

He spoke out against the war during a graduation speech at Yale.

You could say he was against the war, before he was for it, before he was against it!

[Jeff Chandler]

The Kerry kerfuffle is a prototype of controversies of the new media age. "Thanks to the Internet, all life is on the record now,"

Translation: Before the New Media, Democrats could say anything they wanted and the DBM would provide cover for them.

[EagleUSA]

Kerry is a moron treasonist -- anti-American, anti-military communist trash. There is only one explanation for what he did, and that is he just SHOWED AMERICA WHAT THE PLATFORM OF THE DEMORAT PARTY REALL IS.

Pure scum. If it were not for the equally treasonous, anti-American MSM, he would be gone. The Demorats do not have the courage or guts to admit their "leaders" are a bunch of criminal treasonists.

To HELL WITH KERRY!! And that would be kind.

[AZLiberty]

That's one more Democrat Hillary doesn't have to worry about in 2008.

[knightshadow]

A ridiculous gaffe, to be sure, by an arrogant, unrepentant traitor, revealing his true self. And, yes, the dems mostly share his position. But, I'm curious, does anyone care enough about John Kerry these days for this to make more than a passing dent of impact on this election?

[ez]

and you make an effort to be smart,

Those that are "stuck" in Iraq did not make an effort to be smart...

[jwalsh07]

John Kerry called soldiers in Vietnam "murderers". He called soldiers in Iraq "terrorists". And now he has implied that todays soldiers are stupid.

As a former soldier John Kerry makes me puke.

[The Bat Lady]

Bush has a Harvard MBA,

I thought he graduated from Harvard and Yale and was a fighter jet pilot. Not the marks of a stupid man.

[Free Vulcan]

Starting to wonder if Rove got a new lever added to the weather machine.

[chaos_5]

I'll take this opportunity to reiterate my self.

John Kerry should RESIGN NOW!

He needs to be drummed off the hill with all the rest to those leftist Democrats.

What ever happened to the Zell Millers of the Democrat party?  At least the Democrat true colors are shining through.

[HoosierHawk]

This is what the Democrats are.

Just let 'em talk and they'll never gain power again.

[Nickname]

I'm curious....

I know there's been a drive at some colleges to ban military recuiters.

Has Pasadena City College been a big player in this?

I just wonder if this pathetic excuse for a senator was engaging in the lowest form of pandering.

[MikeA]

anything — to talk about other than the record of the Republican Congress and the way the Bush administration has conducted the war in Iraq.

In regard to the incredibly biased remarks above, I love that Kerry's remarks can't be disgusting in their own right. No, instead they're only notable according to these writers because the Republicans want to cover up their record according to ABC News, sounding ever so much like a Democratic Congressional leader.

But the record of 12 years of Republican control of Congress is welfare reform, tax cuts, a strong economy, a surplus during the 90s, a stronger military, greatly enhanced homeland security, a whole host of reforms to government and on and on. Indeed, 90% of what Clinton claimed the credit for in the 90s was actually done by a Republican Congress.

This Congress' record just in the last 2 years isn't insignificant either, though the obstructionist creep Harry Reid used parliamentary manuvears to bottle most of it up once it got to the Senate. Just look at what this Congress tried to get done that the Democrats blocked:

And the incredibly biased comment about how President Bush has waged the war needs little comment. How about how ABC and other news outlets have COVERED the war with their nothing but negative coverage of Iraq?

[Soul Seeker]

By the time Kerry got to a microphone in Seattle this afternoon

A Mic he knocked off the stand btw...LOL

You can tell the Libs are steamed at Kerry. They didn't try to distort Rush's comments or take shots at him. They reserved their bite for Kerry.

"Our troops did not enlist because they did not study hard in school or do their homework," Bush said in his prepared remarks for a former GOP congressman, Mac Collins, who is trying to oust Democratic Rep. Jim Marshall. "The men and women who serve in our all-volunteer armed forces are plenty smart and are serving because they are patriots."
