Yes, Kerry put his foot in his mouth and said something that sounded really stupid. But what is sad, and this is more a criticism of American politics than of the current administration, is for his faux pas to be escalated into front page news just because it is a week before elections. There are SO MANY important things for government to worry about than some clumsy statements by the LOSER of the last presidential election.

Kerry is so yesterday. Americans really don't care what he has to say. It strikes me as utterly counterproductive for Republicans, especially our commander-in-chief, to give it so much air time. Not only this will not rally his Republican constituents, they will be even more turned off about voting.

Of course, without question, if the political parties were reversed the Democrats wouldn't be any better. Again it is all just a said state of American politics.
