SJ McAbney said:He got a big enough laugh for the joke. Fair play.
Either way, the intended or unintended versions are both humourous at heart. And rather true.
I don't see what the big deal is. But the Republicans can't have much to say for themselves if they need to make a mountain out of this molehill.

KenHigg said:How many of your friends or relatives have ever served in the military?
KenHigg said:Is it acceptable for a leader of the country to have this kind of opinion and make this kind of remark?
SJ McAbney said:Quite a few. My father, my uncle. My sister's fiance. Some other friends. Why? Their military involvement has nothing to do with John Kerry or Iraq.

SJ McAbney said:Let's not forget, the leader of your country (and the 'free world' ) did not make the remark. John Kerry did.
jsanders said:To go back to the original statement.
It was a stupid thing to say, only so far as the Dems should be very focused on winning and nothing else.
KenHigg said:Which, (on this issue at least), makes Bush the better man. IMHO
jsanders said:IMHO Are you sure you didnt' meen LMAO
KenHigg said:I know, he doesn't have much going for him, still I think he's better than Kerry... Hard to comprehend those are two of the best we come with huh?

I actually read the entire joke that Kerry was supposed to use and while quite scathing, actually did exactly what it was intended to do, not what the Republican spin machine has created here.KenHigg said:I knew the guy was a weasel - Link
