Ummm, no. He clearly stated he realized what he meant was not what he said. You've never misspoke?

Well, you've said Bush is better educated than Kerry, so he can't get any slack either for making allegedly anti-american statements.
Should Bush apologize for saying that he never stops thinking about ways to harm america?:

oh, but one is president, don't you know...?
if we didn't know kerry or bush beforehand and had them in a room together, discussing foreign affairs or a resent best selling non fiction novel....who would appear to be much, much smarter than the other....?
no doubt, kerry is smarter than bush....no doubt at all....but equal, on the sticking of ones foot in their mouth, imo...
If its not possible that Kerry flubbed a joke because he's simply to educated, then certainly bush - who is allegedly even better educated - knew exactly what he was saying, when he said he never stops thinking about ways to harm america.
No, if he made the joke properly he is insulting himself worse than he is Bush. He didn't "work hard and make good grades", in fact he made worse grades than the supposed person he pretended he was insulting.
Bush simply used what he actually said rather than simply slavering all over the spin after the fact. You know the one where the person with the worse grades is supposedly saying the person with the better grades didn't work hard enough or get good grade.....
The difference is one is a misstatement, the other is spin after the fact.
"I was talking about the 'buffoon' who got better grades than me... He's the uneducated one..."
Right. It isn't even good spin, not even close to believable.
You read my mind~ I was trying to think of that quote, but I couldn't remember it to google it.
Nice.
LOL, careful Damo. That was a Dixie line.
The difference is one is a misstatement, the other is spin after the fact.
Okay, so now you've changed your mind, and don't object to Kerry's statement, but object to the Kerry spin after the fact.
*sigh*
I've already given all the reason behind my statement. Be careful, your "yellow dog" is showing.
Once again...
Bush must have, "worked harder and got" better grades than he did. You can tell this by his GPA. This man either is too stupid to realize he insulted himself, or he was talking about somebody else entirely.
Is that a yes or a no?
It was a more complex answer to a question designed to get a simplified, and inaccurate, answer. I'm refusing to play your game, it is disingenuous to pretend that spin after the fact is the same as a gaffe. He didn't gaffe, he wished he had.
