***Update 4.0: Question...is a confession a confession when it is secured under duress? Usually not. Is a conversion to Islam a conversion to Islam when it is done under the threat of death? Uh, ...no. Is an apology and apology when it is made to keep one's political career from going down the toilet? Not hardly. John...you had your chance, now ...buh, bye.
As any leader (not you, John) knows, as Napoleon said..."If an order can be misunderstood, it will be misunderstood," and this should already be known to decorated combat vet Kerry. His feeble attempts to blame the listeners yesterday, coupled with his refusal to apologize, only highlight his lack of ability as a leader, for his reaction is one of a leader who would blame others for his failings...which he did in this case. His late and feeble apology does not begin to cover the personal weaknesses he demonstrated as a leader(not) yesterday and well into today. Again...what part didn't you get ...the buh, or the bye?***
***Update 3.0: VDH goes yard. Are boyz en Irak harpoon the wail.*** (dueler and Atos finds)
***Update 2.1: Welcome American Thinker readers!!!***
***Update 2.0: The paper edition of the Oregonian this morning supports the argument that the MSM is a biased shill for the DNC. This story, and the fact that a Senator, party leader, and former Presidential candidate, cancelled all of his campaign appearances from now til the election...is relegated to a sidebar, in fine-ish print, in the lower right corner, of page A11. The "un" reporting of news is as blatant attempt to manipulate the truth as outright lying. If Trent Lott's oblique compliment to a retiring Senator can be twisted and manipulated into a resignation hammer by the MSM, then certainly the MSM can find the intestinal fortitude to give Kerry the coverage he deserves...if not, the MSM has cemented its demise through its attachments to, and advocacy for, the Democrat Party. Shame, but no surprise***
***Update: Great find on Anti-liberal Zone Blog, Gunny G highlights Kerry's "Ouuuuutstanding" college performance...dug ALZ out in the Hugh Hewitt comment sections. Check 'em out.***
"Pander : to act as a pander; especially : to provide gratification for others' desires."
John Kerry is the master Panderer. He has pandered to Congress… he has pandered in Congress…he panders on the road…he panders to toads. He is the master. He is incapable of resisting the temptation to pander. He is a pathological panderer.
And his pandering often gets in into un-navigable waters…like the Mekong at Christmas…I suppose.
Yesterday’s crass, thoughtless, and elitist slam against those is the military, while pandereing to a college audience, will be the end of him. From the Pasadena Star-News…
“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.” (my emphasis)
Let me interpret that for you… "Enjoy yourself in college, drink beer, have a good time…use your connections to get you a job…don’t work too hard…and some other dumb schmo will defend this nation, and your comfortable life for you. Too bad they were all too stooopid to do anything else but go into the service, but hey…it will work out for you. Another round of shooters!!!"
I have reached my limit on the number of times I will let others diminish my service, or the service of those now risking their lives for our freedoms. John Kerry is a pompous, elitist, affluent, snobbish ass. And it is going to get awful lonely out there on the campaign trail when 99.9999% of the population comes to the inevitable conclusion, that they have nothing in common with a self-centered, hugely egotistical, spoiled, east-coast elitist, who views the rest of us in serfdom as ants in support of his affluent and cushy lifestyle.
I notice that he refuses to apologize… "I apologize to no one for my criticisms of President Bush…" …even if I did manage to insult every member of our Armed Forces, and all of the nation’s veterans…evidence enough of his elitist, snobbish disdain for the rest of us unwashed.
Webster backs me up…
“Snob- 3 a : one who tends to rebuff, avoid, or ignore those regarded as inferior b : one who has an offensive air of superiority in matters of knowledge or taste” (my emphasis)
This is what I have come expect of John Kerry, but now we should knock him out for the count…not just knock him around. Swifties…renew your operations. Veterans…demand he release ALL of his service records…unedited, and via the Pentagon, not via his staff. All veterans groups…hound him on this until he does apologize, and don’t relent…he is a dog, and deserves to be hounded.
Pandering snob…is there a lower form of life?

Good post, and isn't that the truth ? It's like he's saying only chumps wind up in Iraq, unlike all the smart lefties out shouting epithets.
well said. I can only hope I don't have to hear or see his disgusting face in my face ever again.
Dear John:
Perhaps your sheltered uptight yankee existence has kept you from learning the rule that if you fling enough crap some of it will eventually come back to hit you in the face.
I know what you said. I know what you meant. I heard what you claim to have meant. With the MSM on your side, you just might get a pass, one that a Republican would never get for such a screwup.
You lost touch with the spirit of the United States Navy a long time ago, John. Give up on the tough talk and go home.
Great post! Kerry said exactly what he thinks - remember he's been slandering our soldiers since Vietnam. Kerry uses the military for his political gain - over the past 30 yrs. Kerry has NO integrity and NO honor! Kathy, AZ
Um... PIRATE!
This should come as no shock to anyone on the right side of this issue. We know what he/they think. We know who he/they are. The pompuos windbag just had the courage (read: arrogant stupidity)to inadvertantly tell it to us to our faces. As I said in a previous post ("Pirate"), We may complain to no end or avail about the double standard in Washington and its counterclockwise (read, backward) circus media. But, complaining is no replacement for engaging...
...We're dealing with Pirates, Scoundrels, and Scalliwags in the form of Democrats and what is being Left...
...The Right may mostly prevail with its typical neurotic politeness, but someday it won't. And when a ship loses a fight like that it is plundered and scuttled and sinks to the bottom.
Kerry has provided Americans with a glimpse at the core of what is being Left. If this is what he/they think of the men and woman standing to their defense on the frontier of chaos, just imagine what he/they actually think of you!
Our message back to the prissy 'Kerry Antionette'and his court of pompous aristo-Cats...
"Let them meet fate!"
Kerry needs to truly apologize, but more, he needs to RESIGN. I called for his resignation yesterday at my blog and I call for his resignation here.
The people in our Armed Forces are the best and brightest this nation or any nation has ever fielded. Kerry and his party have maligned the heroes for the last time this election cycle. They will do it again because they hate the military, what it does, and what it stands for.
Resign, John Kerry. Resign.
Absolutely on the money!John Kerry is a disgrace to his office, the military, and this country. It sickens me to call him a fellow veteran. He has said in the past that it is unfair to call him unpatriotic. I'm sorry but when you insult the very people who have fought and died for your freedom to be a jackass then you are not a patriot! You are right to call for him to resign. Maybe this is his way of putting himself in position to be the next leader of Al-Qaida.
