Kerry Remarks Fail Global Smell Test

"Crazy" and "despicable" are the exact terms used by the junior Senator from Massachusetts to describe Republican critics of his self-described "botched joke". If you've seen the tape or read the transcript, who are you going to believe, Kerry or your lying eyes?

Kerry then told the
students that if they were able to navigate the education system, they could get comfortable jobs - "If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq," he said to a mixture of laughter and gasps.

That how Cortney Fielding reported it in the Pasadena Star-News.
She was there. She saw and heard it as it happened. There is no
indication, at all, that this was a joke, nor did the reaction of those in attendance indicate that they were hearing a joke.

So, at least a few of Kerry's own supporters must be both crazy and despicable. Or not. Maybe the "mixture of laughter and gasps"
indicates that there are still a few democrats out there who understand that our bravest serving in the military are the only thing standing between our liberty and the designs of our enemies. It is still a dangerous world. That's not crazy, that's reality.

In
the 2004 campaign, Kerry said that his policy in fighting the War on Terror would be better, smarter, more sensitive, and would pass the global test. No one in the MSM ever got a specific answer to exactly what that meant, and I don't recall if he was ever even asked the question. You may recall that Kerry's response to the "global test" remark sounds earily familiar to his response to his current situation:

Asked during a town hall meeting in Hampton to explain
what he meant, the Massachusetts senator said, "It's almost sad; it's certainly pathetic, because all they can do is grab a little phrase and try to play a game and scare Americans."

Perhaps now, the MSM will use this gaffe as an opportunity to find
out what the dems actually propose to do regarding the serious issues
of the day, instead of rushing headlong into giving Kerry yet another
pass. Call me a dreamer.
