Quick thoughts on the current John Kerry brouhaha:
- John Kerry says he was trying to make a joke. John Kerry should never attempt this because, as he has proven time and time again, John Kerry has no sense of humor. He may be the least funny person on the planet, with the possible exception of Dick Cheney. John Kerry could not tell a joke if his life depended on it — or an election.
- John Kerry is not running for anything this year, so nothing he says on the campaign trail matters, but I’d bet that the RNC already has added this footage to the anti-Kerry commercials they’ll air next time he runs. The man actually manages to swift-boat himself. Any minute now he’ll announce that he voted against telling the joke before he went ahead and told the joke.
- None of this matters at all in the grand scheme of things. It has nothing to do with any issue that’s important, but serves as yet another political distraction. You want to talk about Iraq and our troops? Then have a real discussion of the war, not some ridiculous foot-in-the-mouth comment.
