Listen, it pains me to have to stick up for the guy and that's really not my intent. However, I see little difference between, oh why repeat it: go to post #129, this thread.
This is what irks me about the Hannity, Limbaugh division. They cannot see past their bias for 2 seconds.

Well, from your paraphrasing it sounds like he is intimating that soldiers in Iraq are basically dropouts that didn't study hard and that being a soldier in Iraq is not a "good job".
If you'd like to provide more so that I can look at it in context I might revise what my current opinion is. However, Kerry has been less than charitable to US troops in the past, to put it mildly, so I'm sure that his past behaviour should be taken into account when looking at the comment in context.
And sorry to disappoint you. I'm not a political junkie so I'm not always aware of what this person said or that person said. Esp. Kerry; he's not in danger of being President anymore so I kind of ignore him unless I need help going to sleep.
