If You Don't Get an Education, You May Get Stuck at ABC News

This report this morning from ABC news on the Kerry Kerfuffle has this tidbit:

By now, you no doubt know about the Kerry kerfuffle.

On Monday, in front of a group of college students in Pasadena, Calif., former 2003 presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., joked about education and Iraq.

Excuse me, but I thought Kerry was a presidential candidate in 2004. I guess the reporter for ABC News either is none too smart, or perhaps he was quoted out of context. Or perhaps he was trying to make a joke, and botched it.

This seems to me to be much ado about nothing. John Kerry is almost completely irrelevant to the political landscape of this country, though he keeps trying to insert himself into it. Usually, his foot winds up going into his mouth. Still, you gotta love the humor of the picture from Iraq, with the troops giving Kerry their feedback on his joke gone awry. I guess we won't see John Kerry at the Icehouse any time soon. PCC is a safer place to score cheap political points. At the Icehouse, he'd really have to be funny.
