this just in..Kerry's apology:
"I'm sorry, mr. president, but you're surrounded by a bunch of crooks...i'm not saying you're a crook yourself, but you know, company you keep and all that good stuff
"
Personally, i dont' see this as a blip on the radar. He's got his opinions, i have mine, you have yours, his stating them isn't the "wisest" course of action, but it will play wel with his hardcore base, so it probably won't cost him much in the long run.
i actually think it was staged...
