Move Along, Nothing to See Here

Kerry's actual joke [via Kos]:
"I can't overstress the importance of a great education. 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."
Tell me. Who is the butt of this joke?

At least, it's a great save and/or reworking, and true to boot. Conspiracy theorists will be debating for decades what the actual joke was, who planted it and what "actual joke" means when its author isn't its speaker and the speaker chooses to say something else. Where's SteveG when we need him?

Like Chavez. In his UN speech, he never said Chomsky was dead. He was referring to Galbraith. Some bozo translator decided to drop a couple of sentences, and thus a new jab at Chavez was born.
