John Kerry Supports the Troops Like Only He Can

Following are my two posts on the John Kerry gaffe at Les Enfants Terrible:

He's so Smooth:

Not content to denegrate troops of his own generation, John Kerry gets right to denegrating troops of this generation:

Education:

If you make most of it...do your homework...make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't you get stuck in Iraq.

Personally, I can't think of a single more insulting thing to say about the brave souls fighting for Iraqi's right now. I didn't realize that fighting wars was the work of stupid, lazy people but apparently that is the case.

With friends like this, who needs enemies?

UPDATE: Kerry "apologizes to no one" for his remarks:

I'm sick and tired of a bunch of despicable Republicans who will not debate real policy, who won't take responsibility for their own mistakes, standing up and trying to make other people the butt of those mistakes," he said. "It disgusts me that a bunch of these Republican hacks who've never worn the uniform of our country are willing to lie about those who did."

Does he mean like John McCain? The American Legion? AMVETS?

If there was ever any doubt that John Kerry is a complete idiot, it should be gone at this point. I don't know whether to condemn him or thank him. I think he just handed the GOP a golden goose on a silver platter.

He's so Smooth II:

Now that John Kerry's "Innocent me is being attacked by 'assorted right-wing nut jobs'" line is proving wholly insufficient for the job, he is changing tacts to calling his major gaffe a "botched" joke.

If we buy that lame excuse, he is implying that Bush, being of inferior mind to, say, John Kerry, ended up "stuck in Iraq" due to inferior intelligence and work ethic.

It seems a strange argument to make, even in the name of humor, considering Bush actually performed better at Yale than did Kerry.

If dumb Bush did better than Kerry in school, what does that make Kerry? Judging by his most recent comments, I suppose it would make him super-dumb.

Of course, that is not to suggest that he is as dumb, or as lazy, as the average American troop.

Malkin has reaction from "assorted right-wing nut job" soldiers here, here, and here.

Kerry proves the old adage that Democrats are their own worst enemies. I have thought for months that they would find a way to screw up this incredibly favorable election climate. This might be the straw that broke the Donkey's back.
