He was talking about Bush. Kerry himself is a decorated veteran who has nothing but the utmost respect for the troops (the lies of the Swiftboat-types notwithstanding).
The right-wing propagandists had a field-day lying about what Kerry said, then Kerry said âOK, Iâve had it up to here with the lies about me!â and held a press conference and put them in their place.

Yeah yeah yeah, but I LOVE watching him get all huffy.
And btw, Rush who??
From what I hear Dems are livid too.
F is for friends who do stuff together
U is you and me
N is anywhere anytime at allâŚdown here in the old IP (Stolen unashamedely from Spongebob)
Iâm with Chris that it was a botched joke. The guy makes a million speeches a year and probably was just reading off the script they gave him but I would question the speech writer that wrote the joke. I donât see very clearly where itâs taking the piss out of the administration.
I tell my students that while deliberately acting stupid is sometimes cute in a four-year-old, for anyone older, not so much.
All the conservatives frothing at the mouth with phoney indignation, please take note.
Are you guys gonna tell me that if it was a republican that made that âjokeâ you and the left wing media wouldnât be doing the exact same thing?
Oh no, Iâm sure they would. I guess itâs just that I loath ole John K more than most other demos. 
And tell me oh tell me, WHERE was the joke? The speech read smoothly. âSmart kids go to colleges and study hard (HA!) and the dumb ones sign up for Iraq.â
Kerry: But ah, I was actually making fun of the President, which is what all serious candidates for high office should do. I mean, specially when WE donât know what should be done. I mean come on! Bush is funny. Jon Stewart said so! AWWWW come ONN!
You spin me right round baby right round baby like a record baby round and round. 
Kerry is old. Honestly, his jokes arenât funny because they are about 6 years old. He wanders way too much in his speeches. This is just a case of that. I had a teacher like that â never finished a sentence â drove me nuts!
Itâs Bush who does not respect the troops. I suppose if he thought they were more than political props, heâs actually have gone to the trouble of: a) doing basic planning for the Iraq war and aftermath; b) equipped them properly and moved hell and high water to ensure that they got armored humvees and trucks once it was clear they were wanted desperately; c) stopped GOP efforts to cut combat pay and housing allowances; d) supported insurance coverage for the Reserve and National Guard guys who were being called up; e) done everything possible to stop his House and Senate colleagues from slashing the budget for the cranio-facial wound research institute; etc.
Kerryâs botched remark:
Is he referring to the troops (whose daily efforts before 9 a.m. make them far from lazy relative to the rest of the populace), or is referring to their famously academically-lazy commander-in-chief? (Drifting through Yale with a âgentlemanâs Câ average in Spanish, a language that has not yet served him well since he ditched his âAmigoâ diplomacy around 2001.)
Kerry on fire if it werenât for the fact that his delivery is a drony sort of monotone:
[quote]Let me make it crystal clear, as crystal clear as I know how. I apologize to no one for my criticism of the president and of his broken policy. If anyone owes our troops in the fields an apology, it is the president and his failed team and a Republican majority in the Congress that has been willing to stamp â rubberstamp policies that have done injury to our troops and to their families.
My statement yesterday â and the White House knows this full well â was a botched joke about the president and the presidentâs people, not about the troops. The White Houseâs attempt to distort my true statement is a remarkable testament to their abject failure in making America safe. Itâs a stunning statement about their willingness to reduce anything America, the raw politics. Itâs their willingness to distort, their willingness to mislead Americans, their willingness to exploit the troops as they have so many times at backdrops, at so many speeches in which they have not told the American people the truth.
Iâm not going to stand for it. What our troops deserve is a winning strategy, and what they deserve is leadership that is up to the sacrifice that theyâre making. Sadly, this is the best that this administration can do in a month when we have lost 100 young men and women who have given their lives for a failed policy. Over half the names on the Vietnam wall were put there after our leaders knew that our policy was wrong, and it was wrong that leaders were quiet then, and Iâm not going to be quiet now. This is a textbook Republican campaign strategy: try to change the topic, try to make someone else the issue, try to make something else said the issue, not the policy, not their responsibility.
Well, everybody knows itâs not working this time, and Iâm not going to stand around and let it work.
If anyone thinks that a veteran, someone like me, whoâs been fighting my entire career to provide for veterans, to fight for their benefits, to help honor what their service is â if anybody thinks that a veteran would somehow criticize more than 140,000 troops serving in Iraq, and not the president and his people who put them there, theyâre crazy. Itâs just wrong.
This is a classic GOP textbook Republican campaign tactic. Iâm sick and tired of a bunch of despicable Republicans who will not debate real policy, who wonât take responsibility for their own mistakes, standing up and trying to make other people the butt of those mistakes.
Iâm sick and tired of a whole bunch of Republican attacks, the most of which come from people who never wore the uniform and never had the courage to stand up and go to war themselves.
Enough is enough. Weâre not going to stand for this.
This policy is broken, and this president and his administration didnât do their homework. They didnât study what would happen in Iraq. They didnât study and listen to the people who were the experts and would have told them. And they know thatâs what I was talking about yesterday. Iâm not going to be lectured by a White House or by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, whoâs taking a day off from mimicking and attacking Michael J. Fox, whoâs now going to try to attack me and lie about me and distort me. No way. It disgusts me that a bunch of these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country, are willing to lie about those who did. Itâs over.[/quote]
In response to this broadside, Bush then decided to abandon a U.S. soldier who had been kidnapped last week in Iraq, pulling U.S. troops away from roadblocks in and around Sadr City.
[quote]Exploiting GOP vulnerability in the Nov. 7 elections, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki flexed his political muscle Tuesday and won U.S. agreement to lift military blockades on Sadr City and another Shiite enclave where an American soldier was abducted.
U.S. forces, who had set up the checkpoints in Baghdad last week as part of an unsuccessful search for the soldier, drove away in Humvees and armored personnel carriers at the 5 p.m. deadline set by al-Maliki. Iraqi troops, who had manned the checkpoints with the Americans, loaded coils of razor wire and red traffic cones onto pickup trucks.
Their departure set off celebrations among civilians and armed men in Sadr City, the sprawling Shiite district controlled by the Mahdi Army militia loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Small groups of men and children danced in circles chanting slogans praising and declaring victory for al-Sadr, whose political support is crucial to the prime ministerâs governing coalition.[/quote]
The Israelis launched a whole invasion of Lebanon recently over two of their own kidnapped soldiers ⌠but Bush only can think to cut and run when its his own troops.
Oh no, Iâm sure they would. I guess itâs just that I loath ole John K more than most other demos.
And tell me oh tell me, WHERE was the joke? The speech read smoothly. âSmart kids go to colleges and study hard (HA!) and the dumb ones sign up for Iraq.â[/quote]
He botched the joke. The message was âsmart kids do well, dumb ones (i.e. Bush) get us stuck in Iraq.â
Did you listen to Kerryâs press conference speech? He tells it like it is with guts that the Dems should have had in 2004.
Double post
Looks like the Demo talking-points got out quickly.
Kerry is a 2-bit gigolo POS.
He had a âFreudianâ moment and has sunk himself and Demo elections plans this cycle.
They are distancing themselves from him faster than roaches when the lights are turned on.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 10, 2006 â The ongoing battle over the truth of alleged war crimes and atrocities committed by Americans in the Vietnam War moves to a Philadelphia courtroom this week.
An action filed in Philadelphiaâs Common Pleas Court today by a group of highly decorated veterans and POWs may finally hold Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and his allies accountable for the allegations they have propagated over the past 35 years.
The suit was filed on behalf of Carlton A. Sherwood, a Pulitzer Prize- winning reporter, and the Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation (VVLF), an organization of highly decorated Vietnam Veterans and POWs created to educate the public about the Vietnam War and the men and women who sacrificed to serve their country. The suit was filed against Kenneth J. Campbell and Jon Bjornson, two associates and aides of Kerryâs during the 2004 presidential campaign, both of whom are Vietnam Veterans and longtime anti-war activists. (more at link)[/url]
Good history at the linked web site also.

So, if itâs ok to simply call your opponent stupid, when can you just call him or her a poopyhead?
Kerry botched his carreer, oh, back in the early Seventies.

And heâll be hated for it.
Is he even running for re-erection?
Wow. If Kerry is a 2-bit gigolo POS, I wonder what sort of strong condemnation you have for the GOPpers who have tried so hard to slash vet benefits, military housing allowances, combat pay, and VA budgets. Nothing to say about AWOL Bush and his draft-deferment pals at the White House? OK⌠just wanted to be clear on where you stand on this issue.
Any condemnation of the Bush administration folks who went to such efforts to out a serving CIA intelligence officer handling important weapons proliferation issues? I mean, that sure looks like treason⌠just curious.
Wondering when youâre going to demand Rummy step down for his incompetence in running this war. The State Dept. had plenty of good plans drawn up for how to run Iraq if we had to invade them â ones that would have addressed a wide range of situations. However Defense didnât want to use them because they came from State, so we went in with no plans for what to do. Rummy let WMD sites get looted, let the streets slide into chaos, and let Saddamâs army become a bunch of angry unemployed men with plenty of AK-47s. I mean, if you think that Kerry is a POS, you must have something to say about a shitbag like Rummy who would let his own laziness and ego interfere with keeping our troops alive.
Just curious if you finally have any evidence on this claim. Just curious where the crime is since even Fitzgerald determined that there had not been one. Just curious as to how important you think Valerie Plame is.
If you would be fairer on non-issues such as these, people might be willing to listen to you when you talk about loss of rights to those being detained and interrogatedâwhich while I support the president on thisâis at least a legitimate issue.
But you run from issue to issue to issue and you never ever let anything be resolved.
Bushâs status as a National Guard servicemen during the Vietnam War was a legitimate issue during his campaign for president. You have offered no evidence to show any crime or wrongdoing occured. It is old. Let it go.
Initially, the lack of armor plating might have been something to discuss but to keep bringing it up now is pointless.
I would be curious to find out more about the âslashedâ veterans benefits and such but it seems as if you spend most of your time on hyperbolic lashings of Bush with the usual punchline witticisms and I do not feel that I have learned much about that issue and I still donât know much about it, but I would agree with you that this would in fact count as a legitimate issue, but⌠again, all of this other nonsense, most of it borderline slander, libel, anecdotal, etc. is just so much well masturbation. If Bush excites you that much, see if you can arrange a date.
Oh, cmon! Bush says stupid things all the time, and everybody loooves him!
That is a joke. Be sure to laugh.

How dare you. How dare you call Kerry a â2-bit gigolo POSâ for no reason whatsoever.
It would only be âFreudianâ if he meant the troops were stupid. Look at Kerryâs actions: he has constantly fought for veterans and the welfare of the troops, defending them against Republican attemtps to slash veteransâ benefits, advocating the supply of armor and other supplies needed by the troops and so forth.
The behavior of the Republicans is disgusting - trying to put words in the mouth of an honorable man. The GOP are acting like pigs. They are desparate to cling to power because they are deathly afraid of accountability.
Kerry said âEnough!â Enough of the right-wing lies and word games. Enough of the strawman arguments. Kerry took the gloves off in his subsequent speech, and it was spectacular.
So has Kerry decided whether he is for or against this war yet? for or against funding it? for or against staying? for or against cutting and running? for or against whatever the hell it is that he was for or against yesterday. THAT is a valid criticism. His remarks have not drawn my ire because I know that he was misquoted and that he would never have intentionally said what he did, BUT he is so all over the page that I do not take him seriously. THAT is something that does reveal his character or lack thereof.
Kerry tells it like it is:
âLet me make it crystal clear, as crystal clear as I know how. I apologize to no one for my criticism of the President and of his broken policy. If anyone owes our troops in the fields an apology,it is the President and his failed team, and a Republican majority in the Congress that has been willing to stamp - rubber stamp - policies that have done injury to the troops and to ther families.
