John Kerry: stupid voters

John Kerry shows more of the brilliance that defined his presidential campaign:

A testy U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry yesterday blamed clueless voters with short attention spans for the uphill battle beleaguered Democrats are facing against Republicans across the nation.

“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,” Kerry told reporters.

The Massachusetts Democratic chairman, trying to walk back the remark, said:

“I’ve known John Kerry for 35 years and he doesn’t look down on people.”

Oh really?

“Education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
