I am not defending what Kerry said but here is what his speech was written to say:
Quote:
|
"Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush."

So according to his staff he miss-spoke. Now he should have apologized immediately instead of being stubborn. Also the quote he was supposed to say isn't very tactful. I read it as "everyone who voted for bush is uneducated and lazy" where I think he might be trying to say "Bush is uneducated and lazy".
