Kerry apologizing is bulllshidt.  What he said was tongue-in-cheek &, as is often with a good joke, poignant as death & taxes.  Poignant in the fact that it IS where those who do poorly in school and have mediocre or worse parental support & judgment are likely to end up.

As a father of two teens, it’s an issue that I get very agitated about.  Kerry, the entire Democratic party for that matter, should just say fug-you…if you can’t take the real spin served-up with raw meat & rotten tomatoes.  Take a stand man!  Unacceptable lot of double standards on the hill…& pussy responses.  [Sorry ladies, it’s the only expletive that’d work.]
