WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry apologized Wednesday for a "poorly stated joke," which the Massachusetts senator said was aimed at the president but was widely perceived as a slam on U.S. troops.

"I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform, and I personally apologize to any service member, family member or American who was offended," Kerry said.

Kerry had to issue a correction, not an apology. The transcript of his prepared joke said that if you don't study hard you end up "getting us stuck" in Iraq. Kerry misspoke saying "getting stuck" in Iraq.

going to defend him, especially Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer because of the 2006 elections.

and i remember on DU many attacked him when he refused to apologize also.

Because he was the only one standing in the way of her Presidential bid. That's "our girl", always ready to dump on a Democrat and give Republicans the "benefit of the doubt" and "forgiveness".

and the detractors from hell pile on with the traitor remarks.

He apologized for the Republicans using a botched joke to change topic from Iraq. Guess what it didn't work and the bastids lost.
