Is there a difference between how Trent Lott and John Kerry were treated with their "misspeaking" experiences?

Yea, Trent Lott paid for His mistake. Ain't that the way it always is, Republicans are the only ones who accept responsibility for their actions.

John Kerry is so stupid he actually learns from facts and changes his mind when required. what kind of fool is that?\nGhengis Khan was never like that!

This isn't really an answer...\n\nbut I found it funny that Wittington, at his press conference when he left the hospital, apologized to the VP for what he had gone through.\n\nThe VP shoots someone in the face, and the guy apologizes to the VP.  Wow, that's something.

It's an act.  Offended by what exactly?  Kerry should stand his ground and show some balls on this issue.  The man is a Vietnam vet.  As such, he is much more qualified to comment on the Iraq issue or other military related issues than coward George W. Bush and his draft-dodging cronies.

Nobody likes to lose. If you were married to that harpy that Kerry is married to, you would be pissed off too.  As for Al, well... he worked in slick Willy's shadow for 8 years, guess it affected his disposition.

I dont know why Kerry portrays himself as smarter. Although i dont think you should hold a person on the grades they recieved at, yes, Yale. I agree Kerry is the "dumber" of the two and i am glad he did not become president. His comments yesterday were uncalled for and were not a "joke." They werent directed at Bush, they had nothing to do towards Bush.

no the name is accurate\n\nCNN\n\nCommunist\nNews\nNetwork\n\nbut yeah its typical of them, someones gotta clean up Kerry's mess

I don't think so, I have seen him tear into both party's equally, he asks the hard questions from both of them and backs it up with the person's own words. If he worked for fox the guy above me would thing he was ok.

The point is not what he "meant" or said he meant.  Kerry's just another liberal moron with no ideas on how to solve the problems facing the country, so he compensates by bad-mouthing those who are actually working on the problems.\n\nThe point, in fact, is what he said, and whether he meant it or not, Kerry was articulating latent feelings against the military he's obviously held since he left the military over 30 years ago.  He would actually be pathetic if he weren't a veteran--albeit one with a questionable service record.  As it is, I find it depressing that 48 percent of the people actually voted for him.

Come on...We both know it wasn't ever even meant to be a joke.  You are far too smart to believe otherwise.\n\nBut to answer your question,  The GOP should capitalize on Kerry's inability to admit when he makes an err.

I dont see a joke in it or where he was going with it.\n\nHe is simply a moron as many people have known ALL ALONG.\n\nIf you want to see what Kerry said, its on Youtube.

You have correctly identified Kerry as someone who is ideologically aligned against the US.\n\nTherefore, he should not apologize, he should simply be recognized for what he is, tarred and feathered and run out on a rail.

Because John Kerry never intended to say he was sorry . Today , his written statement was merely for damage control. He still didn't say that he was wrong to call our military stupid & uneducated . Yesterday he called a press conference to state that he'd never apologize . Today his written phony baloney backs that up . It's not an apology . He needs to go to Iraq and really apologize ; then come back and resign from the senate .

Yes, and how many different stories has he contrived to try and explain it off. First it was meant for Bush, no apology. Then it was I misquoted from my notes, no apology. Then it was someone else changed my notes, I misspoke and apologize kinda. \n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-pOypG0szd7Pv_X1rQxw_4qCWpA--?cq=1

Jenny, it's all "smoke and mirror" with the criminal republicans. They really don't care what Kerry said, the cons just want to deflect, minimize, blame and project, anything but take personal responsibility. Do you see the multiple profilers?, it's said isn't it?

Doesnt matter, Kerry is ONE OF THE TROOPS and he could never insult us.\n\nBush on the other hand, hid from the Viet Cong in a cushy stateside champagne unit reserved for NFL players and Politicians sons.\n\nIm more OUTRAGED at that.\n\n--bryn above, theres alot of truth in what you say.

It's either John Kerry or Johnny Damon.\n\nOr maybe it's a new dance. I don't get out much.
