For Christ's sake?! Not another word about this non-story unless it's to point out that it can't (or shouldn't) distract from the fucking quagmire Iraq is, thanks to the idiots in the Bush administration.

1. I'm steaming that the Dem establishment is making this so much worse
How dare they pile on Kerry and keep this story on the air. This story would backfire if they just responded with attacks on Bush war policy. Instead, the idiots keep the story alive and help defeat Dems. To the Dem politicos (in power), STFU.

4. You'd think lesson number 1 in Politics in the Media Age 101
would be "Talking about something keeps it in the media eye, so if you don't want it to be there, don't talk about it."

They should be talking about what needs to be in the media eye: The Republicans' failures in Iraq and their betrayal of America's influence in the world.

3. ALL Democrats should be praising Kerry for standing up and speaking
the truth. Bush's war is a failure, all of our troops are in harms way and dying for his lies.

7. All Dems should stop talking about Kerry
and get back to work getting our 2006 Dems elected.

9. Alas, but the DINOs have their own pandering to do
I've noticed that the vast majority of Dems demanding an apology from Kerry are those who have long been identified as Republicans-in-fact. Not all, sadly, but most.

10. Every time someone brings up Kerry's gaffe, bring up Bush's many far worse gaffes
"Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their, their love with women all across this country."

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

"You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war President. No President wants to be a war President, but I am one."

"I've reminded the prime minister—the American people, Mr. Prime Minister, over the past months that it was not always a given that the United States and America would have a close relationship."

"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table."

There's an endless supply of material...
