He apologized? Bastard obviously has no nuts for me to kick. I bet his wife has 'em.

Kerry apologizes for "botched" Iraq joke

"Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush

I prefer the comment as he originally said it. It makes more sense.

But, poloticians on ALL sides seem to be a bunch of spinning bufoons. But, what is that about bad publicity is better than no publicity?

Work hard, study, and be smart or you'll end up being president?

You suck, Kerry.

See, this is where the phrase "I like pancakes" comes in handy.

My favorite fakenewsmen will be on the cover of Rolling Stone this month. You should go read the article's excerpt. It's a riot.

If you apologize on the Don Imus show does that mean it only happened in the '80s?

Oh, I think anybody is responsible for the words they say ... but how can anyone be responsible for other people's reactions or upset? Those reactions are completely up to the persons having them ... or do they have no free will while the speaker has complete free will? (don't answer that, Alex).

In a very real sense, I feel a speaker bears a certain responsiblity for how his or her words are taken ... in that if they are not taken they way the speaker meant, then the speaker has failed in some way. I think John Kerry failed in a big way. But even that failure does not make him, or anyone, responsible for reactions. He is only responsible for his words, not what others make of them.

If, based on reactions, a speaker judges to adjust his words, that is wisdom. If anyone claims a speaker responsible for the reactions to those words, that is folly.
