This is the guy you wanted to be president?
Just watch the video at Hot Air. I don’t have anything to add.
**update**
Ok I do have something to add. It’s the coverage of the event by the Pasadena Star. News. The story mainly talks about the cast of Democratic Party stars who came out to try and help Phil Angelides lose by less than 20 points.
“It’s not enough to have a governor that acts like a Democrat on Election Day. Phil Angelides will be a Democrat every single day,” said Boxer.
Sure thing Barb. But in paragraph 6 we to come to the good stuff:
But while the students showed proper enthusiasm for Angelides by waving his signs and wooing and booing at the right places, the energy in the room clearly belonged to Kerry. He took the stage to roaring applause and left it only to be mobbed by students and reporters.
It is completely understandable for a group of folks to be excited about the Democratic Party’s last nominee for president. But mobbnig him after his comments?
It gets worse:
Kerry then told the students that if they were able to navigate the education system, they could get comfortable jobs - “If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq,” he said to a mixture of laughter and gasps.
I wonder exactly what the mixture was. Did half the crowd think that line was funny? 25%?
I have left a message for the reporter who wrote the story.
Others blogging: Blue Crab Boulevard doesn’t find it funny. Michelle Malkin noticed that line buried in the Pasadena Star as well. Dan Riehl thinks John Kerry should be tried for treason and shot! Captain Ed points out Kerry has always had contempt for the military.

Now that’s funny.

Get your gear for the next Kerry Lied rally here. “Proud Veteran-American. Silent No More!” We haven’t gone away, Johnny, and we haven’t forgotten. We’re still here, locked and loaded, waiting for you to crawl back out from under that rock again. Bring it on, Johnny.

The True John Kerry…
This is the man who came so close to leading this country. Can you imagine? Someone who feels only the dumb and ignorant serve this country. He has shown disdain for our military even before he spent his few months on Vietnam. He is a pathetic excuse f…

what’s the problem? he’s right. most young people don’t want to go fight and die for halliburton. too bad dems don’t do more of this kind of talking.

Kerry has clarified his comments (he actually had an aide do so earlier). The comment was directed at Bush; the claim is that Bush didn’t study Iraq carefully enough, and didn’t do the smart thing, so now he’s stuck there.
But his prepared remarks had the line as “getting us stuck in Iraq”, which makes it unambiguous.
It’s a muffed line, and it shouldn’t be a big deal, but it’s (apparently) going to be.

October Surprise…
Meglio di un piano diabolico architettato da Karl Rove. Meglio di un endorsement per i Democratici pronunciato da Osama bin Laden. Meglio di dieci sondaggi favorevoli in Virginia. Meglio del job-approval di Bush che schizza, senza motivo, all’80%. Le….

Even though I am anti-war, I found Kerry’s remarks were pretty insulting to the US soldiers.

Just now I’m thinking how much better off we would be if we had only put McCain in the White House….
I was remember the lame Kerry Campaign. It would’ve been no contest for sure two years ago.

Scary John Kerry strikes again…
John Kerry, who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2004, may end up costing his Democrat party a lot as a result of his attack on US troops. During a speech to a student conference, he said that if you don’t study well, you end up in places like Ira….
