He did say, he didn't think it would have any effect on the elections. Remember that when people want to argue about it. He just

about confirmed for Timmy that Kerry meant what he said though.

All week long, John Kerry’s comments—an attempted joke about President Bush, he says, but it came out as an insult against the troops—played out. Did that hurt the Democrats?

SEN. SCHUMER: I don’t think so. John Kerry did the right thing. He apologized, and then he said he’s not going to talk about it anymore, and I don’t think it’s going to affect the election at all.

MR. RUSSERT: But it was the wrong thing to say.

SEN. SCHUMER: He admitted that. And he was a total gentleman, totally on his own, he said, “I’m not going to go out there and keep arguing this,” even though he wanted to, and I give him a lot of credit for that.
