Kerry Offers Fresh Insult

Kerry posts editorial on his campaign website from liberal Seattle newspaper that whether he meant to insult the troops or President Bush, "he was right either way".

At Captain's Quarters, "Kerry's Big Dig":

But all this is separate from the political decision to put this on the Kerry website after insisting that he didn't intend on casting aspersions on the intellectual capacity of the troops. If he really didn't mean to call them lazy and uneducated, then why did he go out of his way to host an editorial on his site that does exactly that?

Hat tip Pejman Yousefzadeh, RedState:

I have no problem, by the way, with this being a campaign issue. Democrats nominated John Kerry for the Presidency a mere two years ago. They should be made to comment on his beliefs, now that he has been so nice as to specify them with excruciating exactitude. The very essence of the volunteer armed forces is being questioned without any justification for the questions themselves. The very character of the volunteers themselves is being impugned. And someone should answer the sneers--especially when they are made by one who currently is the standard-bearer of one of the two major American parties, and would like to be the standard-bearer again in 2008.

Fresh insult to our troops by the elitist blueblood John Kerry.

UPDATE: Kerry un-un-apologizes, if he's offended us. Still no simple sorry.
