A source close to Kerry tells NBC News that he was trying to make a "tough and honest joke" about Bush and that in the process he omitted two words which changed the intended meaning. Per the source, Kerry meant to say that he can't "overstress the importance of a great education" and that "if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy... You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq." Kerry mistakenly dropped the "getting us" from his initial remarks.

Kerry is so living in the past.

Carl Cameron on FNC just said "did we just witness the Democrats doing another Welstone moment? ... snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?" Good analysis.

Wellstone memorial, Rosa Parks memorial, Coretta Scott King memorial...these guys gravy train funerals like no other, bookended by those kooks from that church in Kansas, or wherever it is, that "protests" funerals of military members and dead Amish girls.

Kennedy? Good! Hope he links himself to Kerry REAL tight! Then they can BOTH look like fools and we'll have even more ammo against the "D"s.

Hey.....I was there for a year, and I will chime in!!

Senator Kerry,

I did well in school, but I guess I didn't do well enough....I got what I deserved.....I had to serve in Iraq for 12 months.......

I know that was only 8 months longer than you served in Viet Nam.......and I didn't get to shoot any kids in the back.....I hope that doesn't make me TOO lazy!!!

I'm so ashamed!!!

MSNBC is not showing Kerry live

They must have known not to stream it live. Kinda hard to cut out the bad parts that way.

Should be interesting to see if Bob Casey avoids Ole Jungle Rot.

That will be a good canary in a coal mine for this story. If John doesn't show, you can be sure the Dems are running scared and this story will be with us for the rest of the week.

My guess is that CNN will play Kerry's demand for an apology without playing his original comment.

Fox Radio news did just that in the 3 PM ET broadcast. :(

I also think he inserted Rush and Michael Fox to energize the Rat base ... and I think there will be some effect. One mention of Rush, and they all go ballistic, so they'll use it.

The MSM will do their best to ignore it--it's up to the Republican leadership in Congress to hold the democrats 'feet to the fire'--by demanding a joint CONDEMNATION of Kerry's comments from all congressmen and senators.

Without that, the MSM will do its best to minimize it.

and Matthews lets Kennedy drone on and on without interruption, and with almost nothing about Kerry! Kennedy is talking election, and he told Mattthews one of the first things Democrats will do is pass embryonic stem cell research bill.

What could those two words be? "Ima" and "Idiot"?

"....in the process he omitted two words which changed the intended meaning. "

Which he could have immediately corrected.

CNN: All about how Bush should appologize and why doesn't he?

CNN has been trying to get Bush to apologize about SOMETHING for six damn years!

and it is in McCain's political interests to shore up support with conservatives by having a public fight with Kerry.

Yes! keep this going for the next week!

I think his "real man" facelift gave him lockjaw- too bad he can still talk through clenched teeth.
