John Kerry is now suffering from hoof in mouth disease based on his recent statements.
"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
Now Mr. Kerry claims this is a botched joke about Mr. Bush. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, but if something you say is completely misinterpreted by a group should you not only make your intentions known, but also apologize to the offended group for the misunderstanding? If so, then why is Mr. Kerry refusing an apology to the soldiers he insulted?
Kerry said the comment in question was "a botched joke about the president and the president's people, not about the troops ... and they know that's what I was talking about."
It reads to me like I have nothing to apologize for and if you can't understand that, well that's just too bad.
