Text or video of botched Kerry speech?
Is there a link to a video of text of the botched Kerry speech? I have not yet found one. I would like to see/read what he said just before the botched joke. Thanks for any help with this.

1. It was on Olbermann last night
And I think his show gets repeated the next afternoon, depending on your time zone.
I saw the video, and it's obvious he was talking about Bush, although it would have been more
obvious if he hadn't left out the word "us" -- as in, "you get us stuck in Iraq".
In any case, this distortion of his words out of context is really ridiculous and totally
detracts from the issues facing Americans in the upcoming election.

3. His exact remarks --
After talking about Bush being in a state of denial --
"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."
The "us" was in his prepared remarks and he accidentally left it out. A total non-issue.
Except for the "liberal" media.

5. It was a joke about Bush being from the state of Texas
but now living in the state of denial. I had found a different video earlier, but can't seem to locate it now.
There was nothing else said between the Bush joke and the getting stuck in Iraq one.

6. Thanks for the link.
The video available on MSNBC is broke up and it does not show the crowds reaction.

Any found an more complete video of the event. I wonder if the joke before the botched one got a laugh.

7. Yes, it did get a laugh...
And, I finally found the video I was referring to earlier!

Right hand side, go down to recent video: "Countdown with Keith Olbermann"
