FNC - KERRY APOLOGIZES ON HIS WEBSITE..

John Kerry ^ | 11/1/06 | GeorgiaDawg32

[Argus]

As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear

What, Kerry's a combat veteran? Who knew??

[penelopesire]

That's no apology!! He needs to resign!

[b4its2late]

Not truly an apology. It's his normal....

[Faith]

He thought the joke was funny, before he thought it was not funny....

That's funny. Really. :)

[3AngelaD]

A wussie-baloney sandwich.

[hellinahandcart]

If he'd said this yesterday morning, instead of doing his Dean Scream in the afternoon, this story would be OVER-over by now.

He must have been screamed at, spat upon, and slapped but good behind closed doors to make this happen. And I don't mean by Theresa.

[GOPJ]

Yeah, he wants us - bloggers - to see it, but not the liberal groups he plays too... that takes courage...

[JFC]

Too little Too late.

He does not support the troops and never has. He is a dope smoking, self absorbed, sugar mamma, wimp.

[Recovering_Democrat]

SOUTH FLORIDIANS WILL APPRECIATE THIS...
"THE APOLOGY IS NOT ENOUGH...

HE MUST RESIGN!"

[Gordongekko909]

"Integrity?" Read the "apology," dawg. He "regrets that he was misinterpreted." And finishes the "apology" off with an attack on the eeeeeeevilllll Republicans that continue to impugn him.

[SlowBoat407]

He thought the joke was funny before he thought it wasn't.

[A. Morgan]

This backhanded, half-assed apology is worse than no apology at all.

[BurrOh]

He is still not apologizing.
What an #%$^&$#.
He is so insincere.

[Allegra]

I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform, and I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was offended.

Come to Iraq and say it, chickensh!t.

[mware]

Hey John actions have consequences. You might have apologized but that does not mean you don't get punished for your actions.

[Charles Henrickson]

I don't think anyone "misinterpreted" his comment or that it was a "botched joke" or that it was about President Bush getting "us" stuck in Iraq. Rather, it's pretty clear it was a slam at our soldiers for being uneducated losers with no other career path:

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

[Dr. Zzyzx]

IIRC the Pope used this approach when he apologized to the Muslims for his remarks. He said something along the lines that he regretted that he was misunderstood, not that he regretted saying what he had said.

[tioga]

He didn't own the remarks......he is still waffling and hedging......and a whole paragraph condemning the Republicans. Gees, this took two days? (shaking head in disgust)

[PghBaldy]

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.

I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform, and I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was offended.

It is clear the Republican Party would rather talk about anything but their failed security policy. I don’t want my verbal slip to be a diversion from the real issues. I will continue to fight for a change of course to provide real security for our country, and a winning strategy for our troops.

I am sick of these non-apology apologies.

Dear john F'n kerry,

We are going to have to come up with an entirely new word for a description of you. Puker and loser are miles above you. Keep checking, someone will dub you with a name that fits....
