Smart As You, Johnny
in response to reader comment: Botched Joke? I don't think so.

The guy must assume everyone is as dumb as he is because his excuse is the biggest bunch of b.s. I have ever heard. Kerry must also not realise that there is video tape evidence (congessional hearings on Vietnam) of him bashing the troops before. This is nothing new with Kerry. He enjoys nothing more than insulting the troops, which by the way, shows his true contempt for the armed forces. Kerry is worthless.
