Possible Dem talking point: A botched joke or a botched war?
This is what people like Ford and others should say about the Kerry statement. Close the ranks. Change the subject BACK to the war.

RW interviewer: So what do you think John Kerry should do? Should he apologize?

Dem: I think Americans need to be more concerned about what matters in this election; a botched joke or a botched war where it costs a billion dollars a day and where 4 soldiers are dying a day...

2. That's perfect!
Simple and effective. There's no way the Pukes can defend against it.

The Dems had better hurry, because there's probably only a 24 hours left in the story.

3. Excellent phrase
It's short and to the point. Rethugs don't have long attention spans!

16. Thank you Maxine!
She could have pulled a "he needs to apologize" routine, but no...she continues to be fantastic!

6. Good one, zulchzulu!
I think the Iraq figure is more like $250 million a day--which, in itself, defies belief. How in the world can we keep this up without bankrupting our country and destroying our children's future?

10. Kerry should just admit he is a terrible comedian
and swear - no more attempted jokes.

Be great if he did that on the Daily Show.
