(AP) WASHINGTON Sen. John Kerry, whose botched joke about U.S. troops in Iraq dealt a blow to his presidential ambitions, will travel to Iraq this weekend to meet with soldiers, political leaders and military officials. "I've talked to plenty of guys who've come back from Iraq, who are there now, who understand exactly what happened," Kerry said of his joke in a telephone interview Tuesday with The Associated Press. "They laugh at it." The Iraq stop will be part of a nine-day Mideast trip that includes stops in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Israel. A week before the midterm elections,...

No joke: Kerry says goof won’t hurt ’08 prez bid By Associated Press Monday, November 20, 2006 - Updated: 01:42 PM EST WASHINGTON - Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry insisted on Sunday his "botched joke" about President George W. Bush’s Iraq policy would not undermine a possible White House campaign in 2008. "Not in the least," Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, said when asked if the furor over his comment had caused him to reconsider a 2008 race. "The parlor game of who’s up, who’s down, today or tomorrow, if I listened to that stuff, I would never have...

Sen. John Kerry’s mangled anti-Bush joke has metastasized into a week of negative news for liberals hoping to regain control of the Congress. Even his reluctant apology has done little to quash the fires he lit. Significantly, these fires rage because liberals have yet to expunge the scarlet “D” that has adorned them since the Vietnam War -- “D” for disdain of our military. Let’s review the tape. Kerry advised students at a campaign rally in California that they would “do well” if they studied hard and made “an effort to be smart.” If not: “You get stuck in Iraq.”...

Subject: Thank you for your message Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2006 14:51:34 -0700 From: info@johnkerry.com To: info@johnkerry.com Thank you very much for your comments. As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: my poorly stated joke at a rally was not about, and never intended to refer to any troop. This is the finest military that we've ever had. I have fought a lifetime on behalf of veterans. We have the finest young men and women serving us in the United States military that we've ever had, and I’m...

<p>WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry has decided to support a filibuster to block the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, CNN's Congressional Correspondent Ed Henry reported Thursday. Kerry, in Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum, was marshaling support in phone calls during the day, Henry said.</p>

Just a little humor here. You decide, is it Herman Kerry or John Munster? (This is an animated GIF so please wait. It's 600K so highband width users will see it prety quick. After it loads once, it'll go much quicker) Herman Kerry or John Munster

Did anyone else catch that great segment talking about Kerry's stiffness and terrible television presence?

An open letter to Senator John F. Kerry My wife had rotator cuff surgery earlier this year, and the recovery is terribly painful. Then, she developed a staph-epi infection, and they had to cut the same scar open and operate on her again. Just thinking about the pain and anxiety of facing that painful surgery a second time in the same wound, makes me cringe. That experience, however pales in comparison to what I am going through right now, in my heart. The old hurts are surfacing and the feelings of betrayal by fellow citizens, and their leader stirring them...

wait and see Kerry will be on next President Go Kerry

<p>As the Democratic presidential contenders turn their gaze towards New Hampshire, all kinds of theories are being used to explain John Kerry's stunning upset in Iowa.</p> <p>One is that his latest campaign ad, which drummed home his exploits as a war hero, was what won over the voters. Another is that by the time he got to Iowa he'd gotten better on the stump. Still another is that his organization was a lot better than people realized. And, of course, many believe that Howard Dean simply imploded there.</p>

Love ya' babe, don't ever change. Nice rack. No really, my fish was this much bigger than Dean's... I don't care that Dean is up by 30 points, I won't go jump in the lake. Pull my finger kid. Bill Clinton taught me this pose. Theresa endorsed me? That's great. I can't believe Theresa changed her endorsement. Hi, I'm with stupid, who's in second place. Having made a gun with thumb and forefinger, the Fister Falls School District, who supplied the auditorium for the debate, immediately suspends John Kerry from all further campaigning in New Hampshire in accordance with...

From the pool of Democrats who have declared themselves as presidential candidates, Sen. John Kerry was the leading choice in a recent Zogby poll of New Hampshire Democrats. If the Democrats hire an honest and credible consultant, unless the Law of Contradicting Terms makes that impossible, they'll conclude that the reason for their failings in past presidential races was due to the fact that their nominee got defeated in the hair department. In past Democrat defeats, their candidate always had the worst hair. Reagan had better hair than Carter; George H.W. Bush had better hair than Dukakis, who looked as...

WASHINGTON -- Veterans' advocate and former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia said Tuesday he is endorsing Sen. John Kerry, a fellow Democrat, for president. Cleland, who now teaches at American University in Washington, said he believes Kerry, of Massachusetts, is the kind of person who can bring the country through its current troubles. "He's my fellow Vietnam veteran," Cleland said in a telephone interview from his university office. "He and I bled and almost died on the same battlefield and he's got the qualities we want in a president with our country threatened from terrorists abroad and with the...

Where would we be without Teresa Heinz? The fantastically rich, wildly candid wife of Sen. John Kerry is the only compelling figure so far in a presidential race that otherwise threatens to be devoid of color, drama, and really chewable stories. But "compelling" doesn't begin to capture the unmuzzled abandon, the compulsive, almost imperial determination to say and do as she pleases -- in short, the bottomless newsiness that this woman brings to virtually every encounter she has with the big-time political media. Mrs. Heinz Kerry -- in a rare concession to the practical realities of politics, she recently added...

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has said he would speak at Bob Jones University and would "challenge the university on some of its views," according to his campaign. A school spokesman made it clear Friday that an invitation would not be forthcoming. "Is he crazy?" Jonathan Pait asked. Any politician, Republican or Democrat, "would be inviting media scrutiny" similar to what happened to George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential race, the spokesman said. Last weekend, as the Democrats gathered in South Carolina for the first debate, Kerry was asked if he would be willing to speak...
