Below is what Kerry actually meant to say, which I got straight from the Kerry team, which Kerry uses all the time.

"I can't overstress the importance of a great education. Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq." - Senator John Kerry
He screwed it up. Period. Hey, but the wingnuts don't care.

Is that so? Has Kerry used that line before and only screwed it up this once???

3. All I have so far is:

From http://mediamatters.org/
MSNBC host Chris Matthews read from the AP article during the October 31 edition of Hardball, noting that Kerry "opened his speech ... with several one-liners, joking at one point that Bush had lived in Texas but now 'lives in a state of denial.' Then he said: '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.'" Matthews further described the White House's characterization of Kerry's remarks as a "violent interpretation," then later, during an interview with former House Republican Leader Dick Armey (TX), said:
MATTHEWS: f you listen to the transition of words there, it clearly looks like he was talking about President Bush being in a state of denial, not realizing when he took us into Iraq what he was going to face because he didn't study hard in school. President Bush says today, no, he wasn't saying that. Isolating the few words in the middle of that statement, he said, he was trashing the military for being uneducated and the kinds of people who flunk out of school and end up in the military and then get stuck in Iraq.

Matthews then asked Armey which was the "correct interpretation," and Armey concluded: "Look, I think John Kerry's right. He's making a defense of himself. He's saying, 'Look, I was not maligning the troops. I was maligning the president of the United States.' "
