A Note To John Kerry

Jokes aren't your thing. Please, for the love of all that is (or isn't) holy, don't try to tell them anymore.

A note to George W. Bush and his machine:

You're even more disgusting than I thought. You are liars and cheats. You know damned well Kerry (who, unlike most of you, actually was a soldier) wasn't attacking or insulting the troops. You, in fact, insult us and the troops by exploiting Kerry's remarks for cheap political showmanship. If you hadn't botched a war that has led to the deaths of literally countless thousands, your manufactured hysteria over a botched punch line might not be quite so repugnant. But you did, so shut the hell up.

A note to the media:

Would you please stop being such patsies? Don't let yourself be manipulated so easily. You know as well as W that Kerry wasn't attacking the troops. Say so. Or, at the very least, play more than the botched line. Play the set-up, which makes crystal clear that Kerry was talking about the president being less than adequately intelligent for his current job.

And finally, a note to any voter who actually believes Kerry was attacking the troops:

Don't be such an idiot. Think about it for half a second and you'll realize there is no way any politician, of any party, would attack the men and women who have been sent to risk their lives on our behalf. If you let yourself be so easily misled into believing something that is so obviously not true, and if you vote, then democracy in this country is in a lot of trouble.
