Kennedy was of course only too happy to agree, calling the controversy a diversion and even casting Kerry as the victim, claiming he is the target of Republicans reacting to his criticism of the war.
A bit later in the hour, Matthews flatly claimed that Kerry only meant to say that Bush hadn't studied enough before he became president and thus got us into a mess in Iraq, and later still:
I think he meant to go after the President.
