It was a non-apology. He said he was sorry because he had been misinterpreted. He never said he was sorry for the comment. Typical Kerry doublespeak. The worst part of it is that the main stream media are letting it go at that.

<A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0TnqUlB4Gg">WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

What the hell was he thinking?

"I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was offended."

If that's not an apology, I don't know what is. Seriously, if this is the best you guys can come up with, Tuesday should bring good news for the Democrats.

Chad tries to pull a fast one, If that's not an apology, I don't know what is.

You spin. Spin spin spin Chad! Why do you quote it like that was the full thought and sentence? Why not quote the whole sentence? We know why.

You left off the qualifier. Here's the full quote:

As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: my poorly stated joke at a rally was not about, and never intended to refer to, any troop. I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform, and I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was offended.

In other words: I'm sorry that you guys were stupid.

It's not an apology Chad.

Seriously, if this is the best you guys can come up with, Tuesday should bring good news for the Democrats.

Yeah yeah yeah. We've heard this before every election. Go ahead and read what was written in 2004. You guys were supposed to be a shoo-in, remember?

It doesn't really matter if he "really meant" President Bush or not. Kerry has just demonstrated that for all of his vaunted "nuance" and supposed intelligence, he's not really ready for prime time. The guy who spent 20 years in the senate moving no real legislation beyond "special days for special people" might be a smoother speaker than Bush, but he's got his own deficiencies in the speaking area, and he's showcasing them.

There is an art to good politics and there is a rule, too – and it's a really simple one, but so many politicians can't follow it, particularly if they have delusions of genius. The Rule goes like this: If you screw up, whether because you're an idiot, or you're just having a bad day, or a mic was left on – whatever – and you say something deplorable (even if it just sounds deplorable but you meant it well…) you admit it, you make a joke at your own expense and you apologize – even a half-assed apology will usually do.

In fact, he's not worthy to shine the shoes of any of the men and women serving honorably in Iraq, regardless of whether they have an ivy league degree, or a simple GED diploma, because the ignorant crap that comes out of his mouth proves he is nothing but a flip-flopping knucklehead who seems to be too stupid, too caught up in his insecurities and his Beacon Hill pretensions, and just plain too dishonorable to even understand what our military men and women are doing…or that it takes some serious smarts to cover men from a crippled chopper and then land it safely (or to fly a fighter jet) and it takes enormous personal courage to put yourself at risk to save your platoon.

What stunning disrespect to our military men and women by a man who clearly has no regard for their service and too much regard (though little self-respect) for himself.

John Kerry is a counter to the argument that "the military instills discipline and makes you grow up." He's never managed it. All he is, is one more boomer who is nothing but a perpetual, petulant adolescent.

While he is free to make the ‘joke,' others are just as free to be repulsed by his attempt at humor.

In fact, Mr Kerry may have done the Democrats a favor. They finally have an excuse to get rid of him and other candidates cut of the same cloth. Historically, Democrat candidates were ‘of the people.' Kerry is a pretend blue-blood (living off his wife's fortune) that has yet to decipher that the Kennedy clan political successes were achived because the Kennedy's were portrayed as ‘real people,' despite their wealth and because the Kennedy's were seen to be icons to which every American could aspire.

There is no long list of anybody wanting to be just like John Kerry.

As opposed to Bush, who's just a good ol' boy from a poor family?

So let me get this straight, you want him to apologize for something he didn't even say? Something that a bunch of backward-thinking, nuckle-dragging, mouth-breathers infered because they didn't understand?

This is what was missed. Chad calls all the people fighting to give him the right to say stupid things such as this a bunch of backward-thinking, nuckle dragging… well you get the point. Here he calls all of our soldiers in Iraq stupid. He does exactly what Kerry just did. The Left Really does think that this type of behavior is okay!

Chad:

A few well placed, rigged elections in Ohio and Florida aren't going to work this time.

Which proves ultimately that you are an idiot.
