That persistent claim about Bush is precisely why I made the observation. It's easy for those with an anti-Bush agenda to make such statements, but more difficult when the offender(s) are on the same team, isn't it?

The fact that Kerry referred to his verbiage as a "botched joke" is neither an apology nor an admission of having erred.

I don't believe that he even personally uttered an "apology". Just issued some squirrelly statement this afternoon once it became clear that the issue was not going away so easily.

This was after he cancelled public appearances or had them cancelled for him. Where's all this valor under fire?

The story put forth that he *botched* a joke sounds like something that 22 year old staffers dreamed up overnight.
I've seen it intoned all over SI today as though the intended
joke were so obvious and flowed naturally from his prior comments.

Yeah, right.

I think he said exactly what he believes. He probably didn't mean to say it, but it slipped out anyway.
