Sticks, stones, and…Hey, look over there!
John Kerry botches a joke that was supposed to make fun of Bush. Instead, Kerry insulted our soldiers. (In fact, I suspect that our soldiers will walk away with a lower opinion of Kerry, not of themselves.)
So, let’s put it in the balance.
Sen. Kerry |
Pres. Bush |
Hurt the feelings of our soldiers. |
Lied us into a war in which 3,000 of our soldiers have died, tens of thousands have been injured, and more than that will come back altered forever by the stress of their service. After several hundred billions of dollars and 650,000 Iraqi deaths, Iraq looks like it will slip into chaos. |
The Republican party has become a distraction engine.
And yes, by blogging about this, I am falling into the Republican trap. [Tags: kerry bush republicans iraq]
