Mitt Romney on Kerry

Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a Republican, had this to say about John Kerry's "botched joke" about President Bush.

From the Boston Globe:

"Calling the president stupid puts him in the category of Hugo Chavez," Romney said. "That's not a good idea, either, so I'm not sure quite what he meant to do. But what I do know is that what he said was offensive. It was offensive to the men and women who are fighting in Iraq. I have been there. I have seen our National Guardsmen. They are bright, capable people. They are professionals, not just professional military people. They work here in our state in various professions and any hint that these people are in any way less than the rest of our population is an outrage."
