WASHINGTON: Enough with The Joke, John Kerry says.

The Massachusetts senator and former Democratic presidential nominee said Wednesday night that it is time to move on from his botched attempt at humor before the Nov. 7 congressional elections.

Kerry had said people might get "stuck in Iraq" if they do not study hard and do their homework. He said he was trying to poke fun at President George W. Bush, but Bush and others accused him of criticizing the troops.

"This is getting silly," Kerry said on CNN's "Larry King Live." "The country needs to think about a policy that has young men and women at risk on a daily basis that is not working."

Umm NO. We still haven't moved on from your botched joke of a Military Career. Sign form 180 Senator, then we can talk

[wouldntbprudent]

Like I always say, there's a reason they call it "moveon.org."

Whenever they screw up, the rest of us are just supposed to "move on"!!!!

bwwwwwwaaaaaahhhhhh, John Kerry.

[Mo1]

Nope .. you will NEVER live this down Kerry

[colorado tanker]

But John, I can't "move on." You see, it's "seared, seared" into my memory!

[slowhand520]

To quote the erudite Mr. Kerry.."it was a Katrina style failure." What a douche..He can dish it but he can't take it.

[Global2010]

Good Grief.
We had moved on......until he brought it up again.
This guy is his own worst enemy.

Umm NO. We still haven't moved on from your botched joke of a Military Career. Sign form 180 Senator, then we can talk""

AMEN
Both to this comment and your tagline.

[dighton]

Yeah yeah, and if everyone doesn’t stop joking he’ll kick their ass.

[pikachu]

Maybe Tey-RE-za can use some of hubby #1 money to buy Johnny a little violin. Boo-frick-in-who, gigolo boy!

[Cicero]

Hey, Jean Kerri, talking about moving on, isn't it about time you dumped Teresa and found an even richer wife?

What's the matter, you slipping, old gigolo?

[zbigreddogz]

How about we just move on from John Kerry?

[Gay State Conservative]

JFK's #1 worry should be that Teresa might dump him which would be catastrophic because of the prenup he was obviously required to sign.

Teresa is still beautiful and could still marry her way into real power...perhaps through Justice Soutter.

Ooops...I forgot....confirmed bachelor.

[RexBeach]

Why doesn't John Kerry move on back to Beacon Hill - and stay there?

[Enchante]

NO, Jon Cary, what is "silly" is that a pathetic gigolo who despises our troops still pretends to be a national figure with presidential aspirations.

[dead]

"And I think it's also time for people to look beyond my history as an America-hating, horsefaced, marrying for money scumbag."

[GraniteStateDad]

It seems to me that Mr. Kerry got off pretty easily. Maybe it's time for Mr. Kerry to move on...
GSD

[GretchenM]

Shouldn't someone be giving Larry King a medal or sumpin', for bringing this up again?

"What can I say? I'm a dork!"

[Cate]

Uh, no Jon - we still are shaking our heads in wonder that anyone could actually be as stupid as you are. You are a poor excuse for a public servant, and a very poor representative of our Armed Forces. Shame on you. I mean it, really- Shame on you!!

[TommyDale]

It's time to move on! Let me ignite my afterburners!

[Mach9]

LOVED the last line: " . . . Kerry said, joking again."

[beethovenfan]

Maybe his gigolo don't work so good anymore.

[ProudCopperhead]

Yeah, right.

Like the communist media moved on from macaca.

[Gay State Conservative]

Why doesn't John Kerry move on back to Beacon Hill - and stay there?

Naaah...he doesn't want to live there.I mean,Beacon Hill is so 2003.Today,they allowing just anybody with 10 million to live there!

[Sir Gawain]

Sign the 180 traitor.

[GretchenM]

OH MY GOSH that looks like the dems' dream team, "Law and Order" style.

[Mr. Jeeves]

If he will accept censure by the Senate, I would be willing to move on. Wasn't that the deal, not so long ago? ;)

[Miss Didi]

OK, Lurch...so you insult our troops, then claim it was just a joke and then we have to move on. Whatever.

[alloysteel]

We will move on from John Kerry's botched jokes if he will.

But cuss it all, he keeps reminding us by bringing up even more egregious examples of his lame sense of humor.

[top 2 toe red]

ROFL!!!

[Izzy Dunne]

No one has asked him what the joke should have been.

He's got a bad case of "botch-u-lism".

[OldCorps]

These two photographs tell you all you need to know about Jon Carry.

[GQuagmire]

"Teresa is still beautiful.................."

What,what,whaaaatttt!!!!!

[Gay State Conservative]

What,what,whaaaatttt!!!!!

I just assumed that folks would detect the sarcasm contained in that post.

[Brad from Tennessee]

"Time to move on"? If Kerry lives another 30 years there will be a reference in his obituary to his insult to the men and women who protect his worthless ass.

[GQuagmire]

It slipped by me....D'OH

[Vaquero]

......me tell joke...you no get joke? Me fire writers..me get new writers....ta-ray-suh buy me new writers.....me be happy then.

[mikeus_maximus]

heh heh-- you all should just forget that little insight into my soul.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

OK...let's move on to your next anti-American screw-up.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Teresa is still beautiful...

"Why, you silver-tongued devil."

[Lucky9teen]

So...we should cut and run from his remarks now? Jeesh

[mikeus_maximus]

LOL! Now do Lurch from the Addams Family.

[Henchster]

John Kerry says it's time to move on from his botched joke....

Did he mean it is time to "Move on" to another rich wife? Mama T probably can't wait.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

He STILL hasn't apologized. All he does is blame someone or something else.

[siunevada]

I'm ready for a new screw up. It's inevitable.

Just keep talking, Senator. Your nation needs you.

[KingArthur305]

Ooh no you don't Carrey. You have to be punished.

Why don't you make a trip to Iraq to show you support for the troop Carrey.

[txroadkill]

Mash Pic for must see TV...err...internet.

[Gay State Conservative]

"Why, you silver-tongued devil."

Damn right.With a bank balance like hers I'm not adverse to sloppy....oops,maybe I can't say that on FR!

[sanjacjake]

How do we get rid of these people? Between the
pervert, Clinton..and the ego-happy Kerry...the
air is stifling...and they all run to the other
jerk-Larry King, so they can get stroked, before they
go out and look down on the peasants (us guys and gals)..
Boycott the ketchup....and the bulb nosed friend
of the Barneys...Jake
