John Kerry is such a moron

For all the bashing Bush takes for being poorly-spoken, or inarticulate, does anyone recall him ever saying anything so absolutely moronic as Kerry did yesterday?

What an idiot. The US military cuts a broad swath across society. In my interactions with other officers, I've encountered men whose fathers are venture capitalists, state office-holders, successful business executives, coal-miners, and truck drivers. This is not an exaggeration. I have a particular individual in mind for each of these.

Also, Kerry might want to take a look at famous Marines.

UPDATE: I suppose the assertions I make above are more or less about class, and Kerry's statement was about education. But in a meritocracy such as ours, the two are intimately related.

UPDATE: Two buddies email:

You forgot to include immigrant union train mechanics (currently retired playing lots of golf poorly) as one of the fathers of officers you know. They are a special breed.
And:
Yes and add prison dentist dad to that list.

Even more moronic...he's not backing off his remarks, either.

We can only hope that this story will last until next Tuesday. The proof that there is a God is that this fool did not become President.

I kind of believe him about trying to do a joke. To believe him, you have to suppose that he was saying Bush was stupid and didn't study, and look where it got him. When you watch the video, you can see him checking his notes right at this line and there is a brief pause, like he expected it to be a laugh-line. Either way, he's an idiot. He's obviously trying too hard.

He then really screwed it up with his "I'm firery now" response in Seattle.
