"I refused to apologize to the troops before I apologized to them."

Way to go, Lurch! John Kerry, the elitist Senator from Massachusetts who made his fortune by marrying rich widows has just given the American public another view inside his head and his party right before the election.

First he insults our troops by telling a bunch of school kids that if they don't study hard, they'll "wind up stuck in Iraq." This of course implies what Kerry and many other Dems truly believe, namely that only losers who can't hack it in the real world wind up in the military. If you have no other options in life, Kerry implies, you'll have to join the other zeroes and failures in the US military.

Of course Kerry was immediately called to repudiate this incredibly offensive statement. Everyone from the American Legion to honorable veterans like John McCain and the President of the United States called on him to apologize.

So what did Kerry do? He arrogantly refused to apologize and then he slammed everyone who was offended by what he said, calling much of America a bunch of right-wing whackos who are out to get him. And this of course only infuriated people more. If finally got to the point where several Dems running for re-election asked him not to show up for previously-sceduled campaign appearances. Finally even Hillary Clinton jumped into the fray and said that Kerry's comments were inappropriate.

So finally today, Kerry reversed himself and offered a lame and undoubtedly insincere "apology" to the troops, their families and any other American that was offended by his comments." Coming days late and only after criticism from those within his own party, it's hard to believe that he really means it, especially knowing his long record of disdain for police officers, secret service agents, restaurant employees and other common people that he's routinely disrespected and dismissed as being beneath him. You see, Good old Lurch believes that there is an aristocracy in this country and it revolves around people like him. Of course he keeps forgetting that had he not married two rich widows and assumed control of fortunes that were actually made by other more capable men, John Kerry might be one of those people standing behind a restaurant counter today serving up dinner to working folks like you and me.

Meanwhile, even our highly-motivated volunteer troops in Iraq are having some fun at his expense:



















Uuuuuhhhhh.... Why did I say that?
