Keep on talkin'John.

Hogwash.

Kerry's a putz. I'm so glad I didn't vote for this moron.

John Kerry is older than I am, which hopefully means he will die before I do. When that happens, I am going to locate his grave, consume massive amounts of alcohol, hold my bladder for a really long time, and then stand over his mound of dirt and let 'er rip.

Any questions?

if the speech was written and there's a way to track the original, that may solve the issue. otherwise, we'll never know what he intended to say.

Botched Apology.

The "botched joke" line is even more insulting.

He wasn't joking.

His whole pre-campaign (meaning what he started right after Viet Nam) was about smearing soldiers.

Kerry. F you. Thanks for all of your honest moments. Keeping saying things you really mean and shouldn't say.

John Kerry's Trick turned into a GOP Treat.

John Kerry's Halloween Surprise

As a combat veteran

John "why the long face" Kerry has a lot of nerve saying that. He's trying to make it sound like he's a comrade-in-arms with other war vets. He should take Imus's advice and quit talking...period.

I don’t want my verbal slip to be a diversion from the real issues.

That says it all.

#4 mama winger

But, but, but how do you really feel? C'mon, share with us. Don't hold it inside.

His latest statement doesn’t exist in a vacuum, as many have pointed out; Kerry has a long history of saying outrageous things about US soldiers.

Damn right, Charles. Anyone who remembers seeing his sorry puss on TV during the VietNam war knows what a rancid pus-like substance this sorry excuse for half a man is.

And the worst part is, the MSM will regard this as the closure of the whole business (and you know how they love that word- almost as much as they love "gravitas"). So they can get back to the serious business of the nation- namely, helping the Democrats seize control of Congress in the name of Truth, Justice, and the Taliban Way.

The thing I wonder about is, how is this playing with the Koslings?

My shrink told me the same thing. This is good practice, eh?

in my profession, I can tell you that 'a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest'.

I sincerely regret am sorry that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about you knuckle-dragging, slack-jawed, unwashed cavemen can not understand the subtle nuances in my orification - that means, 'the way I talk.'

I think that's what he's saying.

Statement of Senator John Kerry

(I served in Vietnam.)

(It's your fault for misunderstanding me, not mine, and I'm sorry YOU messed up.)

(Hey, look over there!)

what will the dems do with him after he blows the second election for them? will they throw him overboard or just send him to mollify the wacko fringe netroots crowd?

Charles is right. He was playing to the anti-military crowd, like this buffoon who just posted on his blog:

Young people fortunate enough to have financial support, loving parents, and education and job prospects are not likely to wind up in the armed forces. It is a destination of last resort, and you know it.

Of course he meant what he said. And he meant what he said during the Vietnam War when he said Americans soldiers raped and pillaged and cut off ears, and he meant what he said when he accused American in Iraq of about the same thing.

I was in the Left during the Vietnam War and we wanted America to lose. We wanted America to lose. The Left still wants America to lose. They haven't changed. The only difference is they know they had better not tell the truth about what they believe or practically no one will vote for them.

So now the Armed Forces are just for the dead-enders, eh Johnny boy?

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 you guys misinterpreted me even though my excuse is that I misread the "joke." This is an apology?

For now on when I say "John F'n Kerry" I really mean "FUBAR." Don't misinterpret me!

Fox News said that a lot of the media aren't covering the JFKerry debacle at all. Is this true?

Someday I am going to remove that jawbone from his hound dog face and wipe my ass with it.

I have two questions.

1) May we join you?

2) Do you have a link to that Cafe Press site where you found that fab bumper sticker?
"My Soldier Is Smarter Than John Kerry"

Personally I am already tired of this story. There is less than a week to the elections and this is all the media can do... This is a waste of my time, and I wish there was more news than Kerry said this and Bush said this and Kerry apologized for this .

This kind of media is indicative of a grave problem in our society. This problem is that the American people don't have the mental ability to keep up with the real issues. The Democrats are not putting forth a plan and relying on the 'hate factor' to gain their power. I believe the Democrats don't even have a plan, and are just lucky that they end up in the position they are in. The Republicans don't want to call attention to the unpopular war in Iraq, and the other issues {including immigration} are too dangerous to discuss before this midterm election... So we are stuck with namecalling innuendo and false indignation. What has happened to this once great nation? Why have we fallen so low?

I have many ideas why this is so... Because our society has cast off the religioun of our parents and questioned the morality of generations. When this happens there is no such thing as morality, no such thing as RIGHT OR WRONG. The Gay Agenda is taking this and running with it... Without morality, without religious conviction, who is to say that homosexual relationships are wrong? The only measure of GOOD/EVIL comes from the Torah.

I hope that we survive this election and do some soul searching. I can't see the USA lasting much longer into this millenium without some major changes. We are sinking into a quagmire of immorality and disease. I still have a modicum of hope, and only G-d keeps that hope alive...

Yes
and
Yes

Let me find it for you. bb

As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: John Kerry is a f'ckin' piece of shit and should not be trusted to tell the truth.

It is clear the Democrat Party would rather talk about anything but John Kerry and his "verbal slip". It's not a diversion from the real issues. It's the truth as he sees it. The Republicans provide real security for our country, and a winning strategy for our troops.

Fixed it.

Quite a few people seem willing to accept this at face value, and believe that Kerry really didn’t mean any insult to the troops—that he misspoke or botched a joke.

I don’t believe it. He was preaching to the choir, playing to a very definite anti-military sentiment that absolutely does exist among the angry left-wing nut jobs who seem to be controlling the Democrat base, and he just happened to get caught this time. His latest statement doesn’t exist in a vacuum, as many have pointed out; Kerry has a long history of saying outrageous things about US soldiers.

Well, gee, Charles, you sure didn't leave a lot for us to say in the comments. /snark

Seriously, you are dead on here.

If only we could get more lib-Dems to speak what they REALLY believe.

Even Pelosi would be back in Ca picking out new drapes for the mansion.

I came across this year-old video of Johnnie on you tube - worth a couple of laughs.

Even if it was a "botched joke" it's still just the usual "Bush is teh stupid" line they all trot out when they want applause.

Wow. That's some killer commentary on the future of our nation. Or something.

I am sure this has been posted already. Lizards being fast like that. But in case somebody missed some smart humor from our Heroes.

I will never believe anything this gasbag says. He lost any support from me a long, long time ago. Matter of fact, I would have never supported him after what he did back in the 70's.

If a democrat makes a bad statement the media goes out of the way to dismiss it. Watch as the msm will run the apology and try to drop the matter and bring up something that an 'evil' republican - said, did, thought, or what they need to invent to distract attention.

point 2- he is complaining about not discussing the issues, yet they are the ones digging up personal info to drag through the mud. Do they want to discuss terrorism, oil dependency, the failing education system, social security solvency? no, bring up those subjects and they go to personal attacks - as in - bush lied or only they are the enlighten ones to save the world.

I could have been first if I could learn to type with more than one finger.

There is no acceptable rationalization for this pukes statements.If,as some speculated on all the news stations,that he was tired,all I can say is that at moments of being less than 100 percent is when people often slip their most closely held beliefs.This SOB has been deriding members of the US Military for his entire life.He was obsessed with being the next JFK,even replicating joining up to volunteer to be on the closest thing to PT-109 that the Navy offered during Vietnam.Carrying the camera,reenacting scenes...all part of the mission objective...be the next JFK.Three suspiciously received Purple Hearts and out in three months;absolutely disgraceful.And then to turn around on arriving back in the States and disparage the very men with whom he served at the infamous "Winter Soldier" hearings,capping it off with the "medals" over the wall fiasco.sKerry was speaking what has resided deep in that very average yet extremely convoluted mind of his for many,many years.He has offered no true apology to those among us that have worn the uniform of the US Military.He is a walking offense to anyone who has worn the uniform or truly supports the troops.He is a disgrace to the uniform and caught in a moment when his guard was down,uttered his true beliefs.As said in a previous thread,the only positive for me in this situation is that I believe that the man has successfully Mr.Murphy'd himself out of ever achieving that long held mission objective fantasy of becoming POTUS.

#35 You may want to look at the other threads (just the titles would do) before you post next time!

The frantic and Herculean efforts by the DNC and their fraternal twin the MSM to get this swept under the rug is amazing, but is no surprise.

# 20 SlothB77

what will the dems do with him after he blows the second election for them? will they throw him overboard or just send him to mollify the wacko fringe netroots crowd?

Probably something like this:

Senator John Kerry, who after losing the 2004 election was purged and declared "non-person" by Communists For Kerry (CFK), may now be at large again.

Or perhaps this:

It is our sad duty to report that Komrad Kerry has been purged for failing the revolution. He has been advised to take a self-criticism session involving a personal sidearm. We will remember him in our hearts as our most expendable apparatchik.

Being PURGED just has to suck.

I don’t believe it. He was preaching to the choir, playing to a very definite anti-military sentiment that absolutely does exist among the angry left-wing nut jobs who seem to be controlling the Democrat base, and he just happened to get caught this time. His latest statement doesn’t exist in a vacuum, as many have pointed out; Kerry has a long history of saying outrageous things about US soldiers.

Exactly right.

What a a friggin tool. We should all be ashamed that this slime came within a sneeze of becoming the President of the United States of America.

Once again, this will be decided not at the polls, but on the fields.

As I and others mentioned in the other thread that is no apology.

He rests the blame on the listeners for "misinterpreting" and doesn't even admit that what he said was wrong and it wasn't even funny as a "joke."

There was no misinterpretation of what he said. Added to his insulting the troops for being uneducated, now the thousands of people who heard him say that and read what he said are inferior as well for misinterpreting.

Obviously it was NOT a botched joke. Why would Kerry make a joke implying that Bush was poorly educated? They can say Bush is stupid or uses poor judgment or whatever (that's par for the course), but it makes no sense to joke that he's poorly educated, especially coming from a fellow Yaley like Kerry.

#25 kathyn 11/1/2006 04:52PM PST

Fox News said that a lot of the media aren't covering the JFKerry debacle at all. Is this true?

See here for example

For the most part, the mainstream media (newspapers, anyway) are resolutely refusing to be thrown off message by John Kerry's series of gaffes. The New York Times, for example, headlines As Vote Nears, Stances on War Set Off Sparks. The Times leads, not with Kerry's statement, but with President Bush's criticism of it, and frames the story as being primarily about the President and the war. You have to read deep into the Times's article to discover what it was that Bush criticized.

The Washington Post buried the story on page A8. It, too, framed the story as being mainly about the President; its headline is Bush Calls Kerry Remarks Insulting to U.S. Troops. In the Post, at least you don't have to read to the end of the story to find out what "Kerry's remarks" were. But both papers spend more space on the unpopularity of the war and on how well Democrats are doing this election cycle than on Kerry's gaffe and the outrage it has provoked.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune's coverage is more straightforward; it recounts Kerry's comment and the reaction to it without surrounding the story with spin. But the Strib buries its one paragraph of coverage deep inside the paper, as the lead item in a column titled "Iraq Developments."

The liberal press has a story line for this election, and John Kerry's exposing how the left really feels about the military isn't it. This story illustrates, I think, the rift between this country's two media cultures.

Much of the rest of the media predictably said everyone is "attacking" Kerry.

#47 freedom rings
I've already voted for Katherine Harris.
You can vote very very early here.

I don't think Kerry's going to say any more on the matter, and the news media are probably going to taper off their coverage, whether that's fair or not. We all know what Kerry meant, and that he's a liar, but he's issued his "implausible deniability" statement and now he's probably going to quietly retreat into the shadows until after next Tuesday.

I'm sure that many here will disagree with me, but if the Repubs spend their time between now and the election trying to keep this alive, it will backfire or at least make them look like they have nothing else going for them in this election aside from the fact that Kerry blew it.

I don’t want my verbal slip to be a diversion from the real issues.

I hate to be the one to tell Sen Kerry the news. Well, no I don't. But, his verbal slip and its underlying meaning and motivations are one of the key issues. The motivations behind his little slip is one of the key distinctions between the liberals and conservatives. His inability and the liberals inability to understand this is one of the very sad issues we are faced with.

Say...where the heck is the little thingy on the left...whatever it's called.

Kerry was against apologizing before he was for it.

Kerry has apologized for being an anti-war leftists who hates the military. Didn't say he was ashamed of what he said, just sorry you heard it. He really didn't mean to let the world know that Democrats hate the troops and hate the war. And for that he is sorry, he really didn't mean to screw up the Democrat strategy so bad.

John Kerry spoke the liberal truth, you want more liberal truth, don't vote, you will get plenty of it.

Mr Kerry, here is a news flash just for you, you voted for the Iraq war, you voted to send the troops into battle there, you voted to oust Saddam Hussein, you do not get off the hook, no matter how hard you try. Hindsight does not substitute for wisdom, and second guessing is not a strategy.

Still no Pelosi to be found, she is staying tightly wrapped in the drapes hoping you won't notice.

#13 Mandy

My shrink told me the same thing. This is good practice, eh?

Excellent practice!

Mama Winger. From their web site.

The 1st Brigade of the 34th Infantry Division Brigade Troops Battlion (1/34th BTB) is a Minnesota Army National Guard Battalion headquartered in Stillwater. The 1/34th BTB mission for 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 34th Infantry Division (1/34th BCT) is to perform security and communications. The 1/34th BTB is prepared to support the State of Minnesota with a trained and ready combat force. There are three major units in the 1/34th BTB: Headquarters and Headquarters Company in Stillwater; A Company in Minneapolis; and B Company in Moorhead.

The apology stinks but it's enough to get the MSM to give up on Jokegate. If he'd done this a few days ago he could have saved the Dems a lot of trouble.

My wife just made an astute observation... John Kerry's "apology" sounded a lot like the Pope's "apology" to Muslims for his (correct) remarks on Islam. The difference to me is, I still respect the Pope.

I think I missed what he said before the "botched joke" because as far as I can tell, he wasn't even talking about Bush, he was talking about education.

And then he made his elitist snob Freudian slip.

Can anyone tell me if that perception is inaccurate? Was he criticizing Bush about education policy before the oft run sound bite?

Or was he saying he wasn't going to apologize for what he said about Bush's education policies even though he wasn't even talking about that?

Something is odd about him, I think.

Kerry is an arrogant ass--always has been and always will be.

It's amazing that people will actually buy that he was trying to make a joke. It's ridiculous and disgusting.

Most normal individuals make mistakes; we speak before we think,say things in the heat of the moment, make a bad joke etc.

We learn, apologize and in the future be extra careful before we speak:

But not John Kerry.

Some claim he was "misunderstood" "joking"
"misinterpreted" etc.

He's been called elite,smug, condescending etc.

Lets be perfectly clear: John Kerry is a SCUMBAG:
PLAIN AND SIMPLE

He believes in what he said.

He is a vicious, nasty bastard

What he said schocked me, but his response that "John Kerry apologizes to No One" was the ultimate act of a base, depraved human savage

Anyone else, even John Murtha, I may buy the botched joke thing.

Keep talkin', Johnnie me boyo, until the foot in your mouth comes out the other end.

I wonder what Kerry's response would have been if, just after making his statement at the college, someone had asked "What do you mean by that, Senator?"

BTW, did you know he served in Vietnam?

In fact, since I think the Pope really meant what he said in regards to Islam, it only goes to reason that J F'n K really meant what he said about the troops. The comparisons are too coincedental, n'est pas? (J F/n K knows what that means)

all I can say is that at moments of being less than 100 percent is when people often slip their most closely held beliefs.

The name Mel Gibson comes to mind. And the MSM sure had THAT gaff on their front pages for weeks.

I do think he botched a joke, and any chance in '08. He could have ended the whole firestorm if he had come out and said; "This is what I meant to say and it came out this way”. Thankfully he didn't, he took a page out of Clinton's playbook. The comment on how he wouldn’t apologize to anyone was even dumber than the one that got him in trouble

Stillwater is close to the Twin Cities, if that's where the school would be. Otherwise there are lots of Guard and Reserve units in the area.

His remarks immediately after people took him to task were also quite offensive and unbecoming of a Senator. "Right wing nutjobs"? Apparently Kerry can criticize what Rush Limbaugh says but no one can criticie what Kerry says.

Can you imagine if a GOP Senator dismissed critics as "left wing nutjobs" when the Senator is criticized for an offensive comment. Can you imagine if he named specific journalists and talk show hosts in order to launch a tirade of insults? The MSM would be outraged for days with loud calls for resignation simply for the name-calling and insults.

I'm wondering if he and his neighborhood watch teams were out last night documenting military uniforms terrorizing women and children.

I've seen attempts at explaining this away as a a joke at Bush's
expense where Kerry's aides cite the text of the speech.

However, no one ever mentions when this text was provided to the
press. He's such a liar, but the MSM gives him a free pass.

OT -- IRAQ'S NEW SECRET POLICE by Ralph Peters

It's ironic that, having gone to Iraq to jump-start democracy in the region, we may end up backing a military coup to save the battered country. We're not there yet (and the thought is anathema in Washington - reality usually is). But we'd better hedge our bets. The only, faint chance we have to protect the average Iraqi is to expand the Iraqi army and promote a national ethos within its ranks.

We have only two rational choices. The first is to read the government the riot act, then give democracy one more year. If Iraq's leaders refuse to lead honorably and effectively - and get the police and militias under control - we should abandon Iraq (except for Kurdistan) by autumn 2007. The other option is to start preparing the best Iraqi military leaders to take charge of their country.

The alternative to a military government looks like continued mayhem - an endless slaughter of the innocents - along with more American casualties as we protect our enemies.

A year ago, one of our legislators asked for my assessment of Iraq's future. I told him that, while the various armed factions couldn't defeat us, the culture of corruption was the greatest threat to a future Iraqi government. That prediction has come to pass.

The state of the Iraqi police confirms it. They're not lawmen. They're murderers wearing uniforms we paid for. Our embedded advisers have to fear for their lives. Most are discouraged by Iraqi duplicity and partisanship. Our troops despise Iraq's police.

Again, we didn't destroy Iraq. We just gave Sunni and Shia Arabs a chance to destroy it. And they grabbed it.

What has become of our dreams for democracy when today's Iraqi police are worse than Saddam's and the most humane possibility for the country is a military government? The answer is that Arab civilization has revealed itself as a catastrophic failure.

[Link: www.nypost.com...]

I posted this elsewhere but I haven't changed my mind about it one bit.

I have a very simple reason for why I believe kerry meant to disparage our military and their families.

I was told for months on end in no uncertain terms by kerry himself, the MSM, and every democrat with a soapbox that kerry was the second smartest (Hilary is the smartest) person in the world. That kerry is so articulate. That kerry is so suave and sophiticated. And it was repeated ten times a day and twice on Sunday.

I was not told, however, that he was an honest man. In fact, he himself admitted that his sworn oath before a congressional hearing was a lie. He really wasn't a War Criminal. A little poetic license from the smartest man in the world is justified when speaking truth to power.

I take him at his word. The 'joke' was intended as an insult to the military and their families and his denial is a lie.

He is a disgrace to the Senate; he is a disgrace to the State of Massachusetts which elected him and the only one more traitorous than he is; he is a disgrace to the country.

BTW, has anyone else noticed this in other states/electoral districts? All the Dem ads I've seen on TV are negative tear-downs of their opponents; Reps are the only ones I've seen addressing anything on any issue. (I get metro-NYC & CT stations, so the ads I've seen cover CT, NY & NJ.)

He's such a liar, but the MSM gives him a free pass

So what else is new? The Democrat-Media complex strikes again. But they say there IS no media bias. That's as believable as Kerry's apology.

SO, in effect, Kerry was making a JOKE about the men and women in uniform. OK. That makes it all better. pompous jackass.

I heard what I heard. What he has offered is not an adequate apology. Mr. Kerry is a liar. And he still tries to bring in the service angle. He is not worthy and doesn't get it.

Once more Sen. Kerry attacks and insults our service men and women. A joke? Please! We got a true sense of what the senator really thinks. No wonder this fool couldn't win the presidency. Only in Massachusetts could this patrician empty-suit gigolo win an election.

Mrs. Brown...

I have no idea how you became a senator in my beloved country. I am a military wife and it makes me irate to listen to you constantly put down our troops. You definitely need to apologize to all troops and their families. There is no place in the senate for a veteran who constantly and continuously defecates on the very people that protect your freedom. Shame on you, Mr. Kerry!

The company should pay. It hired an illegal worker and did not provide a safe environment.

Occam's Razor: if the joke was mis-stated, why not simply state the joke the way it was meant to be told?

Since he did not, I must conclude that he did not mis-speak. Gaffes like this one can be very revealing as to someone's real point of view.

Jon Carry (what I will call him from here on out, or poodle, depending on my mood..spoke from his anti-military heart. He will NEVER be my Commander in Chief.

A Freudian slip, or parapraxia, is an error in human action, speech or memory that is believed to be caused by the unconscious mind. Some errors, such as a woman accidentally calling her husband by the name of the man with whom she is cheating on him, seem to represent relatively clear cases of Freudian slips. In other cases, the error might appear to be trivial, bizarre or even nonsensical, but shows some deeper significance on analysis.

Showdown Down Under
Aussies say...
'Take action on sheik soon'

THE Muslim community must take action soon against Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilaly, Prime Minister John Howard said today.
...
"The failure of the (Islamic) community to resolve this issue is daily doing damage," Mr Howard said.

"Unless this matter is resolved, and time is running out to resolve it, there will be left a sadly diminished view of the willingness of the Islamic community to integrate into the broader Australian community."

Islamists say...
Hilaly matter now closed, Muslim groups say

"The Muslim community is always open to frank and robust debate that is free from slander and vilification, but what we have witnessed over the last week is nothing more than hysteria and sensationalism," the statement said.

"We believe that the public scrutiny of this matter should have ended with the sheik's apology.

"Instead it is clear that certain sections of the media and political establishment have used this incident as an opportunity to vilify the Australian Muslim community."

Who blinks first?
/50-50 odds

When the first "I meant Bush" excuse was trotted out, so many people pointed out that it was idiocy to say that lack of education led to Bush's actions, considering Kerry's grades were worse than Bush's.

So they came out with a second "clarification" that the homework and education of which they spoke was about the pre-Iraq War intelligence that Bush didn't study enough.

The explanations of what he 'really' meant were changing too much for me to buy them.

And speaking of doing your homework before supporting the Iraq War, Kerry voted for the action but later claimed he wouldn't have if he'd known more. So who didn't study?

Speaking of shooting, ol' Noam was in a gunshop last night, scouting for a potential upgrade in his home defense system. Someone was firing what sounded like a freakin' howitzer downstairs in the range. I heard someone behind the counter say something about a sniper rifle, so maybe this was a Barrett .50 cal? The thing shook the floor when it went off. *WHUMP!*

Anybody know anything about Taurus? I saw a .45 cal. PT99 for only $300. Good choice? Bad choice?

More shameful political games for a perpetually shameless political hack.

Sad that we have a leftist legacy media to shill and cover up for him, and braindead constituents to lap it up like the sheeple they are.

It hit center broadside at that news conference yesterday.

You Swiftees have totally consumed him since 04. Yesterday was all about you and the service you rendered to the country, not only on the jungle rivers but decades later. You not only spared us the possibility of having a traitor as president, you crippled him for life.

And from the Admin Me#1You#10::
t was decidedly not a poorly stated joke, nor a deliberate denigration of the troops.

There is a third, and much more accurate descriptive. It was an off-the-cuff, intemperate but accurate expression of leftist-elitist disdain for the military that he and his kind have demonstrated on countless occasions in the past.

Kerry's phony umbrage at HIS suggestion that others are calling it a deliberate swipe at the troops is a STRAWMAN.

Jon Carry wouldn't know an apology if it bit him on the ass. What he SHOULD do is truly apologize.

Meanwhile, how about that DD180 Kerry? You've been promising that a long time now. I think the American people have a right to know who is representing them.

Negative ads? I guess I'm pretty lucky. I have not seen a single Democratic ad in the last few weeks. I have seen one for a website called dontvote.org about voting the issues - didn't bother to look - and a couple for the Republicans, neither attack ads.

First off, I think that he meant exactly what he said. If he really intended to say different words, then it was a Freudian slip revealing his true thoughts.

And after the whole Trent Lott mess, where Lott had to resign after an off-the-cuff remark about Strom Thurman clearly was taken out of context, the MSM should be ashamed of itself. The contrast of how Lott was thrown to the lions, compared with the near-panic attempts to find an excuse for why Kerry said what he said, are pathetic.

Hi, MandyManners any company or business that hires an illegal, should be held accountable for any accident. Then they should be fined.

The whole idea behind workers compensation insurance is to protect the business entity from lawsuits. This is actually good news, that an insurance carrier is "kicking it back" at the employer for the employers negligence. When one out of seven workers in this country right now is illegal, I refuse to believe that employers are that stupid or unknowing.
Are businesses so stupid to not realize that the death of an employee in an on-the-job accident could result in a multi-million dollar judgement against them if the insurance carrier refuses the claim?

Even if he offered a sincere apology, who would accept it? Words said can not be un-said. So in that regard, aside from 'going on the record', it's actually pretty pointless. It's not going to change, correct, or make anything better.
The people who hate him will still hate him.
The people who like him will still like him.
He'd do just as well to shut up and drop it.

You are too stupid to know when to shut your mouth and your ego is too big for you to allow yourself to listen to anyone or apologise for the stupid comments you made.

Which in this case is a good thing. Because you are showing the true face of the Democratic party and it's LLL nutroots for all to see. And all will see it, Johnny boy! You see, your best friends in the MSM no longer control the access to information nor do they (and the Democratic party) control the agenda. One would have thought that you and your LLL buddies would've realised that by now especially after your buddy Danny Rather (Korean war draft dodger) tried to pull a fast one with some fake "memos".

So, Johnny, if you truly want to see someone that is incredibly stupid I suggest you look in one of those gold framed mirrors in your house and you will see the face of stupidity staring back at you.

If the Dems can distance themselves from John Kerry before Saturday, they have suceeded in centering the debate where they want it - Iraq and American soldiers and if a change is needed. I mean it is nice to see you to have a focused period of Kerry bashing and the Koskidz spend the time appointing him to sainthood, but this is just a polemic rehash of 2 years ago which has already been decided and probably won't last until the 7th.

I don’t believe this for one nanosecond. Kerry was preaching to the choir

-- he thought so but, did you catch the quote about the initial reaction? 'laughter and gasps' That says something about who was listening and what they HEARD !

His latest statement doesn’t exist in a vacuum

-- most importantly, he has at least 2 other documented episodes of this public display of military hatred generally known by a large number of people [thanks, tfk]

Kerry has a long history of saying outrageous things about US soldiers.

-- let us fervently pray that the history comes quickly to an end; if not by recall, then through the next election cycle.

"good enough" for what exactly?

House Majority Leader John Boehner distributed a statement on Kerry this morning which asserted: "He is liberal, a leftist, and this is the typical attitude they have toward our military.''

Maybe good enough to record, but otherwise not good enough.
Like I said, the people bent on hating this guy will continue to hate him. The people bent on loving him will continue to love him.

I didn't care for Kerry before this mess, and whatever he says, or however he apologizes, isn't going to change my opinion of him. Apologies, especially in the political arena, generally repair nothing.

[sniff, sniff] I smell burning pants.

The fact that this POS was the Democrat nominee in 2004 shows just how deranged that party is, and that he came as close as he did shows that we are hanging by a thread. Of course y'all know that. And we're getting a furthur demonstration of how wacked the LSM is that it is going along with this apology charade.

Johnny, you are so busted.

John Kerry has been a confirmed liar, traitor, scam artist, traitor, liar, since the 1970's, and that is just what has been documented.

When a person uses their military experience as a green light to lie, lie, lie,

SPIT!

He didn't botch the joke. It's a joke from the Vietnam era told by people who were able to get draft deferments for college. I heard it repeatedly during that era, and so did Kerry.

He probably thought it would be cute to paraphrase it into an insult to George Bush, but it would have recalled that old cynical line he probably heard and said during that era. Only he didn't rehearse it and it came out the same way it always had, as an insult towards those who served in the military as being too dumb to get a deferment.

Kerry's "service" was planned to mimic John F. Kennedy's, but that's as far as the similarity went. They both served in the Navy.

He should just avoid any mention of the war or the military. It will always remind people of his 1971 testimony smearing his fellows Vietnam servicemen.

AST sez—

So you're saying that Kerry didn't botch it until he botched it?

# 98 Ted:

Its not that the MSM arent covering it:

They are either trying to downplay it, spin, softball or turn it against Bush with headlines like:

"GWB Attacks Kerry over Remark"

I agree with that. How hard would it be to write, "Bush Defends Military Over Kerry Remark"? Of course that's rhetorical, because that headline will never happen. But let's face it, that is the gist of the story, and with Kerry, an old story indeed.

Apologies are only such if there is contrition.

Hillary: John, you're killing my chances for 2008. Apologize so I don't have to keep up the facade that I give a rip about our military.

Kerry: No way, babe. You remember my comment about Jenjis Kahn? Well, I meant that and this one too.

Hillary: Apologize, or I promise you're going to have sex with me.

Kerry: (Shuddering) Sheesh. There's no reason to threaten.

Kerry was beaten into this apology, so there is no contrition. Any current or former military personnel is at least smart enough to see through this bullshit.

foot in mouth, head up ass.

Charles, You are correct that he was playing to an anti-war/anti-American crowd... he was in California stumping for a home-grown hard left candidate. The schools out there are infested with teachers specializing in the indoctrination of the youth into the DSP (Democratic Socialist Party).
