1) Open mouth. 2) Insert foot. 3) Hop away.

Hi, Sen. Kerry! Gosh, it feels like its been awhile, hasn't it? How are you doing?

Not good? Why?

Oh. Oh dear, you really said that?

Well, of course they're responding. It's an election silly, no one loves a good pre-election gaffe like our distinguished competitors in the GOP.

Ads, too, huh? Well that's the web for ya, John. MoveOn's not the only fish in that sea, you know.

What about the Democrats, again?

Why you don't go over there and sit quietly with your advisers for awhile. Maybe work on your plans for the next election, OK?

Good boy. Have a cookie, it's will give your mouth something to do while we try and fix this.
