John Kerry, the former almost president, found himself in hot water today for saying the following when speaking of college students: "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's no way he can talk his way out of that. He called the troops dumb - no way around it - and that's a battle that can't be won in the court of public opinion.
But Bush didn't help his cause by responding with "the members of the United States military are plenty smart." (youtube.com clip here.)
