Oh! It was a joke! Of course, it’s so obvious and hilarious if you’re not too dense (a.k.a. un-nuanced) to get it. It’s a classic. John F. Kerry, The Jr. Senator from Massachusetts just botched the punch line. Give him a break.
Allow me to refresh your memories. I’m sure you’ll remember the joke once it’s stated properly. It goes like this:
A mullah, a CNN news correspondent (well call him Wolf) and a Jr. liberal Senator (well call him John F. Kerry) walk into a bar. The bartender asks them what they’d like to drink. The mullah proudly declares that alcohol is forbidden by Allah (Peas be upon him), calls the taverns occupants intolerant and hateful for not being considerate of his beliefs and calls for the destruction of Israel.
Next the bartender asks the serious looking newsman what he’d like to drink. The newsman, Wolf, responds by telling everyone in the bar the up-to-the-minute serviceman death toll in Iraq and noting each of the days ‘talking points’ from the DNC. As if that isn’t enough, he repeats this same act every 30 minutes and calls it 'news' each time.
After waiting patiently for what seemed like 24 hours of non-stop regurgitation by the ‘news’ man, the bartender approaches the French looking Jr. Senator. Kerry assumes an air of royalty unfamiliar to the patrons of this tavern, raises his nose to the ceiling and dawls in some foreign sounding tone “You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
HA! Get it? This joke killed them at the Code Pink rally!!! We’re just fortunate that he’s allegedly on our side.
