Crack reporters asking questions at a Kerry press conference

John Kerry holds a press conference to explain his remarks about people who don't study getting stuck in Iraq.

I can almost buy his explanation. What it boils down to is, "What I actually said was so unbelievably stupid, you can't possibly think that's what I meant." He does have a point. How could any politician have actually meant to say something so stupid?

But put that aside for a moment. What I want to know is, where did Kerry find the "objective" reporters who asked these questions?

The first question is a dead giveaway:

"To those people who didn't get your joke, who may have misinterpreted you as saying the undereducated are cannon fodder, what do you say?"

Who asked that question, John Kerry's campaign manager?
