Kerry kerfuffle: When all else fails, go back to the previous campaign
Last I checked, John Kerry is not on any ballot. Don't let that stop the victim-mind Republicans, who love to get self-righteous about everything. They want an apology? Frankly, I'd like an apology from those who won the election in 2004 — and 2000 — for lying about pretty much everything.
Who did the greater insult? Bush should apologize to the families of the tens of thousands of soldiers and Marines who've been killed or wounded in his war of choice. Bush should apologize to all of us for turning away from Afghanistan, where the Taliban is again on the rise, backing al-Qaeda, while we squander all of our resources fighting and dying in an Iraqi civil war.
Getting back to senators and this year's election, I feel George Allen, who is running for office, should apologize for muscling a dissenting citizen to the ground. Once upon a time, there was a thing called free speech in this country. Now, apparently, we're all "Macacas." Thanks, George.
What a lovely bunch of folks we have running the government.

The media and politicians have been moaning about how the military is made up of the lower class and low education level of the population for years.
Now Kerry flubs some lines and eveyone is mad at him. I would like to see someone point out when and where the media and other politicans stated basically the same thing.
When ever people speak of Vietnam one of the first thing that they will tell you is that Vietnam was fought by the poor and less educated of America.
You know, I don't blame the Republicans at all for pouncing on Kerry's gaffe and trying to smear the Democrats with it. Modern politics is bloodsport, after all.
Of course, my opinion is partly colored by the fact that I can't stand Kerry and want him as far away from the nomination as possible in 2008. With any luck, this will be Kerry's macaca moment, and he'll fade back into the senatorial woodwork.
