It would be much easier to give Kerry the benefit of the doubt if he didn’t have such a history of making comments condemning US troops.

Kerry had his chance in ‘04. Per ‘08, as Heidi Klum would say, “I’m sorry. But you are out.” (And that was pre-botched joke.) Look instead to people like Bill Richardson, Russ Feingold, Wesley Clark and John Edwards to get the D crowds fired up while the Washington establishment drones endlessly on about the ‘inevitibility” of HRC.
But speaking of kerfluffles, it looks like John Boehner just pulled a Kerry himself, except the Majority Leader wasn’t joking. From CNN’s The Situation Room:
Boehner: …let’s not blame what’s happening in Iraq on Rumsfeld.
Blitzer: But he’s in charge of the military.
Boehner: But the fact is the generals on the ground are in charge and he works closely with them and the president.
It’s the troops fault!? Oopsie! Now Reid, Dean and the Dems are all over him like a wet blanket. What’s next? Will the “stuffed suit White House mouthpiece” be demanding an apology from Boehner too? What goes around indeed.

The party that nominated Bryan and Stevenson will certainly think very long and hard about Kerry.

“…may be even less likely to nominate Kerry again…”
Please don’t tell me there are Dems who still think nominating Kerry is a good idea. Please.

The faux outrage is deafening out there. Bah.
Right. John “Did I Ever Tell You I Served in Viet Nam?” Kerry meant to say that our soldiers are stupid. Anyone who tells you they believe that was Kerry’s intent is either incredibly ignorant or a liar.

“If you don’t study, if you aren’t smart, if you’re intellectually lazy, you’ll end up screwing up a prepared line, helping keep the President in power, and keeping the country stuck in a war in Iraq.”

I concur. I take Kerry’s stated intention as truth, and as such he doesn’t deserve the front page attention this is receiving. On other hand, as you pointed out, even his intended “joke” is stupid. Either way, things like this shouldn’t decide elections.
