Re: Kerry apologizes
It was a pretty stupid thing for him to say. It was an OK joke to make in private. In public he could have made a serious point about how people who don't have other oportunities wind up in Iraq.
He came accross like a the snobbish Yalie that he is talking about the poor slobs who have to go to Iraq. It also reminds people of how he accused American troops in Vietnam of routine attrocities.
Politician get in trouble when they slip and say the "wrong" thing, but this mistatement was kind of revealing of Karry's attitudes.
The Republicans are making a big deal out of it, because they need something to distract voters from the situation in Iraq.
