Whatever 'joke' he claims he botched up wasn't worth the air he used to say it. The fat is that he actually spoke the truth as he sees it, and that is the core problem. He believes what he said, the only reason he is weaseling out of it is because his party is kicking his rich ass. he shouldn't waste our time with insincere apologies. If the Democrats know what is best (probably not) they will muzzle him quickly. Kerry is an idiot. Whatever ‘joke’ he claims he botched up wasn’t worth the air he used to say it.
