The Corner is reporting that John Kerry will hold a news conference at 2PM to discuss his recent comment.

Daughter In Law? What's with everybody not knowing basic abbreviations today?

[cajungirl]

Nah,,lets not tell him to stop or bury him.

Lets all hang around the hole and cheer him on. This is so rich,,I haven't had this much fun since the last election. The man is so stupid, so venal and so just silly and pompous that I laugh when I see him. He really is a fop.

[AliVeritas]

Just got in... I propose rice and Pillsbury biscuit dough be thrown at Kerry at all future venues. Who's in?

I have looked again at that longer clip on youtube

IMO, he was going to somehow put Bush into his "education" remark, lost his train of thought or was distracted, read from his notes, and fixated on the punch line "you get stuck in Iraq". That's what makes his press conference and explanation so painfully delightful. He couldn't fess up. A totally lame and botched attempt at sarcasm. And a great reminder why we should not have liberals in charge.

YEAHHHHHH! That's what I'm talking about! The CinC has a duty to defend those who can't defend themselves because they are at this very moment fighting a WAR!! I was slightly scorched earlier cause I suggested the Prez say a word or two defending our brave heroes! I hope the RNC is right now preparing a camp ad with Lurchy's comments! It's a sure winner!

[JFC]

Pelosi, Murtha, REID and Dean are all in hiding... dnc is just not wanting anymore loud mouth limes out on the airways... until Tue, when they start their voter fraud crying fits.

Someone just sent me this:

If I were Bush's speech writer, I would have him go on national TV with this:

"My former Presidential opponent, John Kerry, has denounced our military as consisting of ignorant people who aren't smart enough to do anything but hold a gun and follow orders. That may very well have been the case for him, and would go a long way towards explaining why he joined the military 40 years ago, only to later admit - in front of congress - to committing atrocious war crimes.

"However, to characterize our brave men and women as intellectual nobodies is to have no faith in the people who inhabit this country, since that's who our military is. Our military is a reflection of the strength, determination and will of the people the United States of America.

Disagree with my policies all you want, but a duly elected leader of this great country should be ashamed to have made the remarks he did, and I demand an apology on behalf of the troops I was sworn into office to lead.

"And one last thing - F*** you, you lilly-livered French piece of snail s***."

Cleaned up the swear words...but loved the sentiment!

[BigSkyFreeper]

DIL??? What is that?

My guess would be "daughter-in-law".

[RegulatorCountry]

Welcome to Free Republic, Abelman. Excellent response to Jean Francois!

[onyx]

President Bush is going to respond at 5:00PM according to a post here who's quoting FNC.

[pollyannaish]

I would certainly respect him more.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I'd give him full credit for it. There's lots of venom in his words.

[SoCalPol]

Rep. Hunter knows how to speak up and speak out.

[del4hope]

Welcome to FR, and thank you for your service to our country.

[spectre]

YES! Duncan Hunter is a good man!

I wonder what really happened just now on Fox. I think they are running a slight tape delay on the California feed. When the woman anchor leaped into her chair, there was excited hollering going on around her. Maybe someone streaked the outdoor set????

[armymarinemom]

Thanks. Really, I can't believe that I didn't break my TV!

[melancholy]

Right you are!

Welcome to FR and thank you for your service.
