My homepage is CNN. For the past few days, every time I clicked on it, I was updated on the current news relating to the scandal. Oh, c'mon....you know the scandal. Not the war, not 103 Americans dead in the month of October, not the deficit, not the economy, not the ever present corporate malfeasance. John Kerry's insult and disregard of our fighting forces....his botched joke. This morning the headline reads
White House: Kerry apology right but late
Okay. Enough all ready. It was a joke that was screwed up. As a challenged joke teller, I can sympathize. You should also be able to sympathize, George. Remember:
'Mission Accomplished'
'Bring 'em on!'
'I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees'
'And Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job'
'Just so long as I'm the dictator'
'Those weapons of mass destruction gotta be around here somewhere' 'Major combat operations in Iraq have ended'
Freaking John Kerry mangling a joke isn't an issue. Even if he really meant what he said, it isn't an issue. What is an issue is an illegal war, based on lies, that is killing and maiming countless Iraqis and Americans and that has made a mockery of the principles our country is based upon. Who would have ever thought that the United States could go into a country ruled by someone like Saddam Hussein and make his rule look positively utopian by comparison?
To quote a friend, 'Go sell crazy somewhere else' Republicans. We aren't buying what you are selling. I can't wait for 11/7.

I'm writing this as I fill out my absentee ballot. If the Republicans manage to get any leverage out of this stupid non-issue, what little remains of my faith in the American peoples' intelligence and the electoral system will be shot to hell.
I am right there with you! It is amazing to me what they will trot out as a supposed news story the closer we get to election day. Since neither party really has a majority of voters anymore, it gets stupid crazy when they get down to the wire. Everyone's trying to get those last undecided voters.
I guess it's just so much easier to get their panties in a bunch over a botched joke then to actually talk about (gasp!) issues.
Someday we will meet at some Greyhound event and I will have to give you yellow dog democrat **hugz** for this one...lol!
Yep, I have my Voter Reg. card and I am armed and ready for Tues. Good grief.
