You almost have to feel sorry for the rightwingers. Their day of reckoning is coming, and it's freaking them out. I swear every rightwinger in the country is hyperventilating about what they want us to believe Kerry said.
Even Chris Matthews said it's clear that Kerry was taking a jab at Bush, not the troops, but the Bushies aren't exactly famous for getting anything right.
They sure don't want to talk about how October was the deadliest month of the year for the troops in Bush's miserable failure of a war.
Among the rightwingers hyperventilating, jumping up and down, and pointing outraged fingers at Kerry are Bush, McCain, Tony Snow, Bill Frist, and what seems like every rightwing blog in the country.
The White House actually alerted "the networks to when Bush would attack Kerry, so the comments could be carried live and make the evening news."
Cause swiftboating the war hero was so much fun the first time, they want to relive the thrill. After they get through ridiculing Michael J. Fox and screaming about Kerry, maybe they can find someone in a wheelchair to kick.
Thankfully, this time Kerry is fighting back.
The senator, who was campaigning for the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Phil Angelides, opened with several one-liners, joking at one point that President Bush had lived in Texas but now “lives in a state of denial."
Then, Mr. Kerry 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.”
President Bush, campaigning this afternoon in Georgia for a Republican House candidate, condemned Mr. Kerry’s remarks as “insulting and shameful.”
“The men and women who serve in our all-volunteer armed forces are plenty smart and are serving because they are patriots — and Senator Kerry owes them an apology,” Mr. Bush said, according to the White House.
“Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country’s call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education,” Mr. McCain said. Mr. McCain said any suggestion that only the poorly educated would agree to serve in Iraq is “an insult to every soldier serving in combat.”
They say that Kerry and McCain aren't friends anymore, and you can see why.
Do Republicans even have friends?
