Oh those funny, funny politicians:

Kerry: “Too bad, if a governor had to go missing, it couldn’t have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin.”
Palin, in Kosovo, said she saw him say it on television: “He looked quite frustrated and he looked so sad. I just wanted to reach out to the TV and say ‘John Kerry, why the long face?’?”
Now Kerry’s spokeswoman has offered a lame attempt at a clever apology — an apology that as far as I know, no one has requested. If anything, he should apologize to his foot for having shot it. Again.
Spokeswoman: “We stand corrected, the truth is every Democrat hopes Governor Palin is in the public eye for a long, long time, especially on the 2012 presidential ballot. Lately it’s been Vice President Cheney that everyone hopes would lose the cameras and go for a long leisurely hike on the Appalachian Trail. And good grief, if anyone thinks John Kerry is afraid of strong, smart women, they sure haven’t met his brilliant wife and two independent daughters. It sounds like getting crushed these last two election cycles cost some of these Republicans their sense of humor.”

Cost them their sense of humor? Biden alone is worth the price of admission. And Obama’s love affair with the spotlight is equally fun to watch.
