I'm afraid to ask this in GD or GDP. Can someone explain Kerry

[femmocrat]

to me? OK... he was supposedly making a joke. But...what was the joke supposed to sound like?

I can't think of any way to make what he said funny. Can anyone imagine what it was supposed to be? I haven't seen that explanation of it anywhere.

Thanks!!!

1. I think....

he was supposed to say, "If you don't study hard, etc. (referencing BushCo), you'll get *us* stuck in Iraq."

He left out the "us."

2. That was the only thing I could come up with too..... but

(it still isn't funny, IMO). I'm starting to join the STFU crowd on this....

(need an icon for shaking my head)

5. If you can find what he said one minute before the "comment", you

would understand. There are lots of links but I don't have one handy.

8. Thank you. Of course they have cut it down to a sound-bite, so the

original context is lost.
