Actually, what Kerry said, is probably correct...

Reminds me of a history professor I had in college, Dr. Rogers, who was also the head of the department... Well, Doctor Rogers had been teaching so long that his lectures were to him something that he could do in his sleep and he rarely deviated from the way he had given them for years and years but...

...I was taking History of the South from him and the class was in an old building and the room had one of those wallpaper maps of the world down one entire wall...

One thing that Doctor Rogers would do 3 times per class was ask a question to see if folks were payin' attention and there was this one fellow who was sittin' right next to the wall where the map was and, oh BTW, this was like 1969...

So Doctor Rogers called on this poor guy to answer the question and the the poor guy didn't have a clue what the answer was and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't know" to which Doctor Rogers, without missin' a beat responded...

..."Well, Mr. Smith, you maybe closer to Southeast Asia than you think" as everyone in the class looked over at this poor kid and noticed that he was seated right next to Viet Nam...

This, unfortunately, was a true story then as it is a true story now as the folks who get shot up in wars are unporportionately under-educated...

Now, as for the flap???

Yeah, this may get a few more folks to the polls but by Tuesday, given that Kerry has apologized, it probably won't change anyone's mind...

All we are seeing here is Karl Rove tryin' one of his old tricks in demonizing the opposition... Like what is new here... That's all that Karl Rove has in his one-trick-pony playbook... The difference is that folks are as tired of Karl Roveas they are of Bush's policies so, MO...

...turn the radio up 'cause the Dems should be alot more worried about the folks countin' the votes than anything that John Kerry has or will say...
