Comedy is too serious to leave to amateurs

Oh! So John Kerry was trying to make a joke about the White House, not our armed forces in Iraq. Way to go, Senator! Karl Rove's payment is in the mail. David on Blue Mass. Group throws a tomato:
... Senator, let's just try leaving the political comedy to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, shall we? It's much funnier when they do it, and nobody gets hurt.
Pundit Review doesn't buy the joke explanation for a second.
Cranky: Senator, you're no Jon Stewart. You're a fucking idiot!

what's the big deal?
"Get a good education, so you don't become cannon fodder" is perfectly sound advice to kids.

The big deal is ...
Aside from the way Kerry has given the Republicans a way to re-energize their base, if you assume he wasn't trying to make a bad joke, it basically says the men and women fighting in Iraq are stupid. The line might have made more sense in 1969, when we still had a draft, than now, when we don't.
Americans *are* stupid, this proves it.
I'm sorry, I watched this little speech on Olbermann and all I can conclude about the reaction to it is that American's are complete morons. It was more than obvious that he was making a jab at the president and not the troops, and all the b.s. that has now erupted over this just goes to prove that Americans are so brain dead stupid that they deserve every bit of crappy government this country has.
Now I can only hope the Dem's loose next week, just to watch this country go into the shit covered death spiral to its end that it so richly needs right now.
