If we are talking about the one that has been underfunded to the tune of billions of dollars a year by the president and a republican led congress, then yes, that is the one.

I realize that you are defending someone elses miss statement which on the face of it is not easy to do. But when taking down an argument using strictist set of greek rules of logical absolutes what is wrong with your version of what Cary "actualy ment to say?"

I think the man is a pompous idiot. I also think he didn't mean to call soldiers idiots. He was poking at Bush. However, I believe that he really does think all soldiers are idiots. He thinks anyone who isn't him and doesn't agree with him is an idiot. He's a pompous fool, but this is being overblown. Call it karma.

For those paying any attention he has a habit of backhanding the troops- or outright accusing them of things-

So color me not all that surprised.

Nice.

What did he have for breakfast?

My .02. feel free to pass over.

I heard Kerry's comments on the radio and what I got out of it was that he was saying that if you don't go to school and study you're dumb. or you will end up in Iraq, meaning, (to me) that the guy who put us there is dumb. It really can be taken both way, IMHO.

ANyway....

Here's the thing....Kerry could have ended this so easily and come off sounded like less of a pompous fool.

"Yes, I can completely understand why what I said was construed as saying that our best and brightest are not so bright. I am very sorry. I misspoke, and it was not my intended meaning at all. What I meant was...."

And Scrooge, does that mean anytime someone in here calls Bush a name that they're just in a bad mood or someone peed on their Cheerios?

No, sorry for the confusion.

It means since you're obviously so possessed of the power to know mens' souls, I was curious how far your powers extend.

Is it just a spiritual thing or can you see the physical too?

Cuz if you can see that, I'd like to know what John Kerry had for breakfast that morning that made him stand up and tell the right wing noise machine to stuff it.

Oh, I see. So every time someone calls Rove evil or Bush hateful or whatever, they must also possess such a power. Or perhaps they say such things based on their perception of actions they see and make a judgement.

No person has the ability to know another's mind and that's the last bit of energy I'm wasting on this piece of manufactured controversy.

Have a nice day.
