If you're asking for clarification to my post, I meant that I don't buy that he was trying to make a joke about Bush and forgot a word, whether they say it was written in the speech or not. Even without the word "is," though, it could still be construed as a joke and/or a jab at the president and his policies. Either way, it obviously wasn't meant as it came to be interpreted.
No sorry NIC. I wasn't looking for clarification. I was just taking the point further.
For my part, I'm less interested in Kerry's intent in saying it than his
right to say it versus the Commander in Chief who got our sorry arses into this mess. Fact remains the statement
intact was accurate.
How the Republican spin doctors spin it into negative pro-war rhetoric is their business. Kerry's right. Do a good job in school or you'll find your dumb ass in Bush's vendetta war with Saddam Hussein.
Beyond that the President is equal to the 'jabs' out there or ought to be. He'll be taking lots more now that both the House and Senate have to be addressed and answered to ... high time the feeb had to be accountable.
I still maintain that GWB owes us, as Americans, one great big fat apology for his lies and deception in getting us into this Iraq thing when he hid in the Air National Guard during Vietnam.
Kerry's Swift Boat dilemma was paid for lock stock and barrel by the "righties" who wanted to make sure John's military service was denigrated to deflect attention from that war whore Bush who'd better have the twins enlist post haste, in my opinion.
Send the little cherubs off to Iraq I say! God knows they're good for little else by all indication.
