Kerry Sticks Foot in Mouth, MSM Runs Interference

By now, everyone knows that Sen. John Kerry said that those who are uneducated and lazy end up in Iraq. As a result, from the individual service member to political equals, outrage erupted as people became aware that Kerry believes that American servicemen and women are ignorant. In the meantime, excuses and obfuscation were on the scripts being read by the elite media talking heads.

It didn't take long for Kerry to accuse the Republicans of distorting his words, indicating that he was actually referring to President Bush and not the U.S. military. The elite media spun accordingly.

Now, Kerry's statements are being called a "botched" joke by the Democrats and the MSM.

Let's say it's plausible that Kerry did screw up a joke. Fine. However, isn't it just as plausible that Kerry screwed up the joke in a Freudian manner, letting slip a core belief that normally is locked away?

Nobody doubts that Kerry is an East Coast citizen of lifelong privilege with all the biases of class arrogance. So, let's buy he screwed up a joke, as Kerry and the MSM want. However, at the same time, let us all agree that the manner in which Kerry misspoke is consistent with a Freudian slip, a botched set of words that reveal an unconscious belief, thought, or emotion.

Therefore, it's reasonable to conclude that Sen. Kerry actually does think, albeit unconsciously, that members of the U.S. military are a bunch of dummies.
