"What the hell were you thinking?"

Pretty much the same thing as millions of other Democrats are thinking, but they don't normally get caught saying it on television.

Or, if they do say it on television, they aren't held to account because they aren't United States Senators.

Or, if they are Senators, they aren't former Democrat candidates for the presidency of the United States who are known to be running again.

Hell, this is just like every other Democrat scandal since clinton came into office. Kerry's offense was to get caught and bobble his defense.

There is some good news in this Kerry story.

Max Cleland was not present to pick up the grenade!

Kerry's ... remark has been interpreted...

It didn't have to be "interpreted", the meaning was clear.

Kerry danced around the statement, claiming it was a bad joke gone worse,...

The explanation he concocted was one that only a stupid person would believe. Since he obviously expected the troops to believe it, he was, in effect, calling them stupid again.

In the meantime, Kerry keeps holding press conferences announcing his non-apology.

Kerry is no victim here.

This is perfect example of "there is no such thing as bad publicity" for someone in his current position. He is milking the limelight on this.

Yeah, I caught that to. First clue the author should be ignored as a reliable source. Anyone that knos who Hugh Grant is, and remembers that incident, has it ingrained in their head the question came from Leno. Except this person obviously.

Kerry doesn't think. That's his problem.

Some otherwise-intelligent people can be infected by liberal blindness disease. Such people have no trouble accepting Kerry's "apology" despite the fact that it makes no sense.
