Bush turns to an old punching bag...

John Kerry.

Story.

Kerry told a group of college students that they had better do well in school, or they would find themselves "stuck in Iraq."

Now Bush is right, its not the time or place to take a shot at those who are brave enough to serve our country in a Iraq.

On the other hand, Kerry made it clear immediately thereafter that he was making a joke about the President, not about the troops.

He was making a statement about our job market.

He was making a statement about our education system.

He was making a statement about the limited options our youth have today.

He was making a joke about the President's domestic and foreign policy.

And Bush turned it into Kerry being un-American.

"The senator's suggestion that the men and women of our military are somehow uneducated is insulting and shameful," Bush said. "The men and women who serve in our all-volunteer armed forces are plenty smart and are serving because they are patriots -- and Senator Kerry owes them an apology."

I'm confused because, if I remember the facts correctly, John Kerry served our country in a time of war.

George W. Bush did not.

Wow, I just had an flashback to this time 2 years ago.

What does it say about the President that he is still busy taking shots at John Kerry instead of working out any number of our major crisis?

I'm not saying that Kerry's joke was in good taste, or even funny, but I don't understand why President Bush is involved in this discussion.

Former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia defended Kerry:

"John Kerry is a patriot who has fought tooth and nail for veterans ever since he came home from Vietnam. He has stood with his brothers in arms unlike this administration, which exploits our troops to make a political point and divide America,"

Same old shit.

Stay Tuned...
