I started a joke, which started the whole world crying, But I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.
I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing, Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me. -- The Bee Gees, 1968
WASHINGTON -- Tell me if you've already heard this one:
"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.''
That was the hilarious Sen. John F. Kerry speaking to a group of college students a few days ago. It was supposed to be a joke, he says, but he botched it.
What he really meant to say was, wait, wait, this is really funny:
"I can't overstress the importance of a great education. Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy?''
No, Mr. Kerry, where, where? Please don't say we end up married to a poor woman.
"You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush.'' Ta-dumb-dee-dumb.
The obvious lesson here is that some people should never try to be funny. Otherwise, Kerry seemed to be addressing a group of second-graders. "Do your homework''? "Make an effort to be smart''?
Oh, OK, Dad, you go first.

That was worth the keyboard - lol!
God bless and keep all of you defending our freedom. Thanks for your service.
Hey Senator, try this one at your next Dimm rally...
Wenn ist das nunnstuck git und Slotermeyer...
Ha... you kill me.
The early polling area had a line fo only two people, but it was a constant flow. Everyone was very nice. Voted straight R, and voted out all of the judges to tried to overturn the 2k election in gore's favor.
The place was full of the elderly, one doesn't need to guess how they were voting. SoFlo seniors tend to tilt left. Except my 70YO mother, who's almost caused heart-attacks at her condo declaring that rats are intolerable criminals who should never be elected.
She tells me she'll get an earful of hatred about President Bush from seniors but has no problem confronting them and leaving them mouth-agape for their idiocy. Guess she's got yer back on that battlefront - lol!
Very good post wherever you put it, and remember Kathleen Parker was a guest panelist on Chris Matthews Sunday Show last week, where mislabeling "opinion" for news is an art form.
By the way, on that show, Kathleen was the only one who didn't coo to Chris what he wanted to hear, a gloom and doom prediction for republicans. She told Chris he was ignoring "broken glass republican voters.
Most excellent translation!
Here in forgiving America, you make a mistake, you apologize, and the world keeps turning. It's so simple and easy -- unless you're the sort who can't admit error.
Didn't work real well for Trent Lott though.
Yeah, but he is a REPUBLICAN. Only 'Rats deserve forgiveness (pass the bucket...)
Texas electronic straight party ticket, took me less than a minute to vote. Go GOP.
Reminder: John Kerry drinks toilet water.
Yes, but he calls it eu de toilette. (forgive me if I spelled it wrong, I'm not french.)
;-)
Hats off to your mother - and Allegra and her compatriots always, of course.
