I am trying to minimize politics in my LJ, but I just thought that if anybody cares (nobody does), I think Kerry did in fact mean to talk about Bush in the recent infamous episode. He was simply clumsy, which is quite in his character.
And now he says he botched the joke. Well, in the last several years he has botched pretty much everything, so why not the joke? Notice that he still (as of now) refuses to apologize, which is a reasonable and human thing to do — especially if he did not mean it.
Disclosure: Kerry is one of my least respected politicians.
Update. Kerry apologized.

Опять–таки когда Чейни сказал неск. дней назад, что не видит ничего страшного, если допрашиваемого в воду обмакнут, то он видимо имел ввиду не пытку, а просто допрос в мокром виде (что тоже как–то странно, впрочем).

Про Чейни тоже верно. Я так и не понял, что он имел в виду (впрочем, не очень и пытался понять).

Так что Буш сказал, что хотел сказать, но аудитория вдруг закричала, что теперь они хотят не помнить переносный смысл слова "crusade", а помнят только прямой!
