Kerry on Bush/the troops
John Kerry made this joke Monday night, and he’s been paying for it ever since.
What he said: “You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
There are three possibilities:
1. He believes that the military is a dead-end career suitable only for those too dumb or uneducated to find better work.
2. Knowing his audience, for political gain he perpetuated the stereotype that military personnel are too dumb to find better work.
3. He was saying that President Bush got stuck in Iraq because he didn’t do well in school. That would be the same President Bush who scored slightly better grades at Yale than Kerry did.
Some advice for Sen. Kerry: Leave the jokes to someone else.
