That's funny, I got it

It's too bad John Kerry didn't take a more ... active approach ... to his own defense back in the 2004 election. He allowed a bunch of questionable veterans to trash his war record, mainly by not stepping up and exposing those same veterans as the liars they really were.

Doesn't seem that the same kinds of things are going to work, now.

The implications of his comments: "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" are all too obviously directed at Bush--not the soldiers serving there. No intelligent person would consider that the soldiers who volunteered for the military are "stuck" anywhere, nor that they would have slacked off to get there, either. They are clearly heroes who are putting their lives on the line for us. Anyone entering the military knows what lies in store--yet they volunteer anyway. Some of our best and brightest join, so there is truly no shame in being a soldier. No more than for those who join police forces or become firemen.

Of course it would be impossible for the administration to see that the joke's on them. Oh, and Tony Snow? "I'm a little astonished that he didn't figure it out already ... If I say something stupid, I apologize as quickly as possible.” By my estimation, Mr. Snow is way behind on his apologies. What a brainless tool. I would have thought he would have figured it out, by now, but obviously not.
