CNN Banner: Sen. John Kerry issues a statement saying: "I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was offended" by comments he made about being "stuck in Iraq."

"Apology" has conditions....IF we were offended....

So it's OUR FAULT that we didn't understand him.

I don't have a ping list on the VVLF. I just started promoting this after Col. Day's letter of today. I am not a Vietnam vet. I am a Vietnam brat and post-Vietnam military retiree. Let's see if a Vietnam vet picks this up and can point us to a ping list.

Unfortunately the only one I know who has a list is out sick, 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub.

And why didn't he do it at a press conference in which he would take questions? Just more flipflop.

[Lancey Howard]

What happened to "I will apologize to no one..."?

He decided to not apologize before he decided to apologize.

[Nancee]

It's ALWAYS someone else's fault. We simply "misinterpreted" his meaning.

[Nancee]

He is doing some damage! YEAH!!! That's what happened!

...and I personally apologize to any service member, family member or American who was offended," he said in a written statement."

Does he have any idea what it means to personally apologize to someone?

Someone should start a website where we can sign up for our personal apology.

[Cementjungle]

He has so far come out with two different versions of what the original "joke" was. If he misread something on his prepared statement, then why is there confusion as to what was typed on that prepared statement?

[ohioWfan]

Wolf Blitzer just declared the issue "over".

In your dreams, Blitzie, in your DREAMS........

[Nancee]

Sure he does, and he's NOT touching it!

Regarding the bad joke, John Kerry is a bad joke on the Democratic Party and his keeper Teresa Hines Kerry.

P.S. Hey John, where is the signed 180 form you promised?

[GretchenM]

I can't help myself. I just have to post these.

[Lancey Howard]

Anybody know offhand how long it took for Blitzer to declare the Foley scandal "over" after Foley resigned?

[ichabod1]

Hey! He's a combat veteran. Who knew?

[GretchenM]

So ... when's he going to apologize to the Iraqis for slamming their country?

[TonyInOhio]

He decided to not apologize before he decided to apologize.

It's a modified limited hangout apology.

"Wolf Blitzer just declared the issue "over".


Sorry, Wolf, you guys don't set the agenda anymore. Just because you say it's over doesn't make it so. RUSH, HANNITY, et al will be hammering all day Thursday and Friday. GO CONSERVATIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[halo66]

Good point. I am Wolfie is still picking himself up off the floor from when Mrs. Cheney kicked his ass.

[del4hope]

When someone makes a clear and concise statement and then tells me "they regret that I misinerpreted their statement", well that only furthers their insult towards me.

It is about time one of them becomes the poster child for what they do to the pubbies ala Trent Lott.

We cannot let this rest
