Incredible - Kick it up a Notch!

Yeah, yeah, yeah (Emeril's voice) he might have muffed it a little. But isn't it incredible (wish I could properly emote the French version of that - always loved the sound - like on-cry-eeb) what the reaction has been!

People (okay stupified bush lemmings), the man got it right even when you do your best to misconstrue it (you do risk looking stupeed indeed!). As a college student, screwing up and flunking out could be scary, since all the menial jobs have been sent overseas and there ain't no work today. Hay now say now etc. Sign up with the Army. There's no judgement one way or the other on whether you're dumb - or that the folks in the military are dumb. They are actually probably a pretty good cross-section of the populace. Except of course for the wealthy elite who have gotten 99+% of the tax breaks. And, oh yes, the politicians in DC, to the limited extent they don't fit into category A. There's no representation in the armed forces by those two categories.

Summing up, in the worst possible (obviously wrong) interpretation, an obvious whacko-job that would never fly even in Podunk, Kerry's mini-flub ends up describing reality as the republicans have made it.

Take a gander at the inimitable David Horsey's take on this.
