Sen. John F. Kerry defended his controversial joke suggesting the GOP’s John McCain wears “Depends” adult diapers, saying today it’s the type of ribald humor you hear at the South Boston St. Patrick’s Day roast or on late-night TV.Kerry, appearing before the Boston Herald editorial board, bristled at the suggestion his jab was not senatorial.

Why won't the people here in the People's Republic of MA. vote this clown out?

You know... politics... if you make the most of it, you work hard, you use some common sense, and you make an effort to be patriotic, you can do well. If you don’t... you get stuck as the ski-bum-boy-toy of a gin-soaked ketchup dowager.

The man’s a moron.

This from the bunny suit guy...

Anyone got this bunny space suit picture of Kerry around?

[Carley]

How about a picture of the dufus wearing his flowered spandex while windsurfing

People generally don't talk about things they don't have some understanding of.

Kerry probably wears them himself, and extrapolates that McCain must too.

McCain may wear Depends, but Kerry is full of the Depends’ content.

What’s even stupider is that Kerry is only about 8 years younger than McCain. I’ve never understood why making fun of older or elderly people is considered “funny,” but Kerry looks like an even bigger moron given his own age.

For once I'm with Kerry. I wouldn't apologize either. It's a joke. Laugh or don't laugh. Not my concern.

However, I do like to see liberals - who are offended by every miniscule thing around - get hoisted by their own petard.

For the same reason they kept sending Teddy the Liberal Lyin' back to the Senate year after year after year.

Massachusetts 'gift' to the rest of America has been the gift of treason, Kennedy attempted to undercut the Reagan Administration with private discussions with the Soviet Union, and John F'in Kerry of course is a traitor, giving aid and comfort to our enemies in time of war, and violating the Logan Act (not that anybody cares about it anymore) by entering into private negotiations with the North Vietnamese Commies and Vietcong in Paris while still dishonoring the Navy uniform by putting his Three Purple Scratched ass and questionable Three Purple Hearts into it.

John McCain may or may not wear 'Depends', but John F'in Kerry will always be the foul fecal matter that belongs in those Depends.

I heard the same joke 12 years ago. The butt of the joke was Bob Dole.
