... but ended up making a horse-faced a s s out of himself? Assuming, just for the sake of argument, that he really didn't mean to insult our troops, his supposed decision to insult Bush was a really bad one. An analysis by ABCNews said it best: Kerry's problem is that he is thoroughly convinced that he is smarter than George W. Bush, even though his academic performance at Yale was worse than Bush's. In other words, he was outsmarted by Bush "the idiot" in 2004, and it's still eating him up inside. He doesn't understand how this "idiot" from Texas beat him.
Perhaps it would benefit Kerry to finally admit to himself that he is not nearly as bright as he believes, and may in fact be dimmer than GW Bush.

Incidentally, I think it's great that the Republicans and political pundits are keeping this alive and making a big deal out of it. The Democrats and the liberal press did the same thing to George Allen here in Virginia (the "macaca" thing - did ANYBODY even know there was such a word??), so it's fair game.

Intellectually, he's dumber. BUT...he did marry money so he can't be too stupid, I suppose.

Thus far, I have heard nothing in the works that Kerry is going to run for president in 2008. Until that actually happens, there's no point in belaboring his "botched joke". He may never live it down, but that's his problem. I'm not worried that he will even make the primaries, let alone be the democratic candidate for president. I feel there are others that are much more qualified and do not have the "botched joke" on their records.
I'm a democrat, and I approve this message.

Yes, it's ironic that Kerry was supposed to make a Bush is dumb joke, but misread it.
If they had the same rather low undergrad grades, and same basic intelligence it proves one of two things. Either Bush lacks intellectual curiosity and his speaking and thinking ability have deteriorated since college, or Kerry's continued hard work and quest for knowledge have left Bush in the dust. Take your pick.

Its pretty funny, funnier still is that the joke was about what happens if you get bad grades, while Kerry did worse than Bush at Yale.

I find it ironic that he made a joke about Bush being stupid, and Bush was too stupid to even realize that he was being called stupid.
