While campaigning in California, Kerry told a college crowd on Monday: "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."
But before that, he said,"Yesterday I was in the state of Texas. You know, where george Bush used to live, now he lives in a state of 'denial'."
So obvious, he was referring to Bush on both ill stated 'jokes'.
Kerry is not a funny man. He's a geek, but right.
Now comes the big spin and blatent lie of the Bush campaign.
Bush quickly seized on the controversy, demanding that Kerry apologize.
"The senator's suggestion that the men and women of our military are somehow uneducated is insulting and it is shameful," Bush said at a campaign rally in Georgia where the crowd booed at Kerry's quote.
LIES, LIES, LIES!!!! TALK ABOUT SHAMEFUL!!! NOW WHO'S CALLING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE STUPID? AND THIS CERTAIN CROWD SEEMS TO BE!!!
"The members of the United States military are plenty smart and they are plenty brave and the senator from Massachusetts owes them an apology," Bush said.
This has me "mad as hell", and for others not to see this plainly, is very sad.
If this does not come back to bite Bush's ass, I wiil be taking the next 'Beale' step to the window.
