Kerrys Botched Joke

[Psycho4Bud]

(AgapePress) - Senator John Kerry says it was a "botched joke" -- but conservative and Republican leaders aren't laughing. And neither is the American Legion.

The senator from Massachusetts, while stumping for Democratic candidates in California, was speaking to a group of college students in Pasadena on Monday when he said: "You know, education, if you make the most of it, and you study hard and 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."

I know we could just blindly swallow the explanations that are being hurled at us by pundits and other members of the "liberal media".

But just on its face, doesn't this seem more like a jab at Bush's incompetance rather than the armed forces?

Im\still laughing at that joke, bush pulled about not finding WMDs in his office ya if you really watched and read the whole quote you can tell he was calling bush stupid but i guess if you pay attention to foxnews and the other mediawhores you would not know it....plus wat can you expected from a fellow SnBs member to save his cousins party:thumbsup:

It just seems that if it was a "botched joke" he would have conceded that immediately and not waited over 24 hrs to release a "public apology," which didnt seem very sincere to me. This can be placed among that long list of priceless Kerry quotes such as, "I actually did vote for the 87 billion dollars before I voted against it."
Now all of Kerry's public appearances are being cancelled because other democrats don't want to be linked to him. (shows just how loyal the democratic party can be, similar to how they treated Lieberman during the primaries)

By the way, it's not just me and Karl Rove who are enjoying Kerry's misery. Below is a photo of US troops, in Iraq, lampooning Kerry's assertions.

What? As if that's different from the Republican's overwhelming sense of loyalty that has them rallying around Foley in his times of trouble right?

Right.

I remember a joke Cheech told on a sitcom about being in a Government program for underprivileged kids who couldn't affort college--it was called VIET NAM!

Quite an accomplishment spinning that into an insult against the troops. Then again, when the draft starts up to supply fresh victims for Iraq, that statement will take on a whole new validity.

It wasn't hard to understand that Kerry was referring to Bush.

Even taking it as a jab toward the troops....it is actually kinda true. Iv never met so many incompetent dumb as dirt people when I was in the army, I would say 60% of people are like that in the army. Its kinda funny that they are the people that get promoted the fastest because they always do what their told and don't question or think about anything. I was mildly offended by that "joke" since I served a year in Iraq but I wanted to point this out as well.

Kerry should keep his mouth shut and make room for a viable '08 candidate. That said, his "intent" was aimed directly at the reigning chicken hawks.

[Bong30]

He said what he ment.....but he didnt mean to say it.

HE IS DONE FOR 08....thank god.

A Freudian slip, or parapraxia, is an error in human action, speech or memory that is believed to be caused by the unconscious mind. Some errors, such as a woman accidentally calling her husband by the name of the man with whom she is cheating on him, seem to represent relatively clear cases of Freudian slips. In other cases, the error might appear to be trivial, bizarre or even nonsensical, but shows some deeper significance on analysis.

The Freudian slip is named after Sigmund Freud, who described the phenomenon he called faulty action (Fehlleistung or parapraxis) in his 1901 book The Psychopathology of Everyday Life. Freud gives several examples of seemingly trivial, bizarre or nonsensical Freudian slips in Psychopathology; the analysis is often quite lengthy and complex, as was the case with many of the dreams in The Interpretation of Dreams.

Popularization of the term has diluted its technical meaning in some contexts to include any slip-of-the-tongue phenomenon, often in an attempt by the user to humorously assign hidden motives or sexual innuendo to the mistake. It is not clear, however, what Freud considered an "innocent" mistake, or if he thought that there were any innocent mistakes. The enormous quantity of slips analyzed in Psychopathology, many of which are banal or apparently trivial, would seem to indicate that Freud felt almost any seemingly tiny slip or hesitation would respond to analysis.




He is the elite of the elite.........looks down on us like dumb pieces of shit.
