Kerry's Personal Apology on the Front Page of CNN

[Mass_Liberal]

Great, just what we needed, we're doing so well, and now all the attention has been deflected off of Republican corruption and the failure of their policies. ARRRRRG. I know Kerry has been taken out of context, but I am still angry as hell that the Republicans have been given the ammo to go on the offensive, and worst of all, that its working. Please, please, please, please, let us win the midterms anyway. PLEEEEASE.

2. They weren't given ammo....

They dug until they found something, ANYTHING to use. Kerry did nothing wrong. I'm glad Kerry's apology is on CNN's front page. Maybe the 'pubs will SHUT THE FUCK UP. If they don't, they will dig themselves into an even deeper hole. Honestly, the """"outrage"""" is laughable. The 'pubs have made utter fools of themselves. And we trust these inept, thin-skinned goons to run a war?

3. The comments are priceless from the emails

I select:

In my opinion, Kerry should speak directly to our troops with his "botched joke" explanation instead of "firing off" at that nincompoop we call President. Yea, yea, yea, McCain, we know you were a POW in Nam. Does that make you more patriotic than Kerry or more of a hero than Kerry? Oh, I bet you CAN deliver a joke better.
Eleanor Tucker, Seymour, Texas

Bush owes the apology. His pointless war is killing thousands (And, yes, I DO believe dead Iraqis count, too!) He is the one with blood on his hands, and he is a coward who ran from the war his generation was called on to fight. The only honorable man here is John Kerry.
Susan Brown, Morristown, New Jersey

President Bush owes not just the military but the entire country an apology for misleading us into war in Iraq! Sen. Kerry's comment was misconstrued and blown out of proportion by the Bush propaganda machine.
Trudy A., Hanapepe, Hawaii

Anyone who follows politics and has been staying abreast of recent events knows Kerry was aiming for the administration, not our troops, but missed. It's an insult to my intelligence to assume I would misconstrue it and believe the spin the Republicans are putting on it. Eloquent he may not be, but Kerry would not insult our troops. Implying so is deceitful.
Cheryle Case, Holland, Massachusetts

Kerry needs to apologize for the misunderstanding. Bush needs to apologize for the murder of our troops, being an idiot and lying to the country. Then he can apologize to Kerry for the swift boating, thinking Kerry would actually hurt our troops, John McCain for what he did to him, and every lie and smear he's ever made.
Colleen Downing, Kansas City, Missouri

The ... insult to our military is to send them into a war on false pretenses, faulty planning, and a wrong world view. The president owes military families an apology. (He should) admit that the call to go to war was not only wrong but immoral. Where is the moral outrage on the Christian Right or from the Christian community as a whole?
Michael Finch, Evansville, Indiana

4. Could have been Webb's 'salacious novel'

They always find something... when will Democrats learn. Kerry took the target off any of the Dems actually running for a few days, that's one good thing.
