Harold Ford Jr. has called on Kerry to apologize for his comments, which I think makes him the first Democrat to do so.
Expect the nutroots, who already weren’t enthralled with Ford, to chastise him for being an “uppity negro.”
I have to say, I didn’t get Kerry’s joke at first, but now it’s really really funny.

The moonbats are again eloquently voicing their passion for difference of opinion, diversity, individualism and integrity; not! I think they all most have been bitten by a rabid moonbat?
The only thing dumber than our troops are Negros running for the Senate and I won’t apologize!
I have grounded my husband. He is no longer allowed to appear in public or to speak to the press until after the election. Regards…
Figured I’d better beat the rest of the folks to it, but “chastise” is spelled with an “S”. Having said that, I agree with you. Being a person of mixed blood(the non PC and the way I refer to myself is “Mutt”) I think the Dems just look at non-whites as a disposable source of votes.
JMHO
PS: DOn’t forget that today is All Saints Day, and is a Holy Day of Obligation. In other words, get you butts to Mass, and if you can, hit a confessional!!! (can’t imagine spending ETERNITY without this pithy repartee on this site……)
I must’ve gotten the joke right away because I laughed gleefully when I first heard it.
I hate to say it but John Kerry might end up being a hero after all. He may end up being responsible for saving a few Republican butts.
I love the smell of crashing democratic poll numbers in the morning!
If FrankJ says it’s spelled with a “z” then it’s spelled with a “z”! (I think I’m the only one who’s been here long enough to know better than to point out grammarical “differences”.)
When did they change the spelling of chastise?
Well, the spellchecker in Word missed it since the word was right next the html code. Stupid MSWord.
I’m beginning to believe that it isn’t Karl Rove who is the “master mind.” I think it’s Lynne Cheney. She outed herself in the take down of Wolf Blinkers last week. She’s the one who fed Kerry that “lame joke” and now she’ll just sit back and watch the feeding frenzy.
Well done Madame, you are the master.
We’se getting tired of being fed, clothed and edjicated by our democrat largesse massas. Ifn Steele and Lim Swanns can overcome mebbe wese can. We shall over come! Can summons drive us to the polls?
Ah, yes. I will glahdly drive you to the polls uppity negroes.
A friend of mine one said that Microsoft now controls the English language, since we instantly assume everything that Spell Check is true. It was funny a first… but now, I’m not so sure. The day we place our complete, unwavering trust in Grammar Check is the day Microsoft rules the world!
… that is, if they don’t already.
El Santo – Your rights to use the English language have been revoked. Now you speak Spanish.
Eye ewes spell-checker oil the time.
If ewe doughnut, ewe ken end up in Iraq.

Q: What’s long and hard on John Kerry?
A. His nose
B. The third grade
C. His ongoing 2004 Presidential campaign
D. Public outrage over his “Stuck in Iraq” comment
E. All of the above
Never trust a spellchecker that does not flag “irregardless.”
I shut off little Johnny’s PIN number this afternoon…
Interesting..sKerry claims that he botched a “joke”; his handlers claim that there’s a printout of what he MEANT to say…does this mean that he can’t READ????
Every generation of my family has served in the military since WW2 (and some even before), and we have college degrees all around! Wow, are WE ever dumb!!! Dangit, we’re all Republicans, too.
“irregardless”
I like saving that one for the well educated folks. It’s one of my personal favorites. Just lob it in there as an exclamation at the beginning of a sentence. It’s most effective if I try to clean up the rest of my grammar around it though. I’ve been known to cause an occasional grammar riot with it.
