There's a phony "controversy" being brewed up by the righties with an able assist from the media, concerning a misspoken joke by Sen. Kerry and the resulting purposeful twisting and attacking the twist strawman move by the right. The media is pushing this so hard that even Ms. Grumpy was aware of it from her deep groundhog lair of studying. (I heard it mentioned on NPR twice in my commute last night and three times this morning. I can just imagine what Faux and the wingnutosphere is doing. All for a single misspeak by a senator who is not even running for reelection).
This is:
a) irrelevant;
b) wasn't defamatory; and
c) is an attempt to distract people from Iraq, Katrina, Iraq, Foley, Iraq, Delay, Iraq, Cunningham, Iraq, Abramoff, Iraq, civil liberties, Iraq, warrantless wiretapping, Iraq, domestic spying, Iraq and Iraq
We should also note how batshit crazy John McCain, who has been silent on Cheney's waterboarding "no-brainer" comment and the US military abandoning a soldier and obeying the commands of a foreign leader, is oh-so-vocal about this nonissue.
