Well, the fact is, the American people can at times be immature. Look at the way we over-reacted to the Janet Jackson superbowl incident, or our penchant for labeling, or how many of us sometimes try to find scapegoats rather than confront the hard facts, or how a lot of political discussions have turned into partisan whining and bashing, to the point that it seems impossible to have a real, intelligent discussion about the issues without it becoming a partisan slugfest.
I think those are just a few of the many incidents that indicate that we Americans can be immature at times. True, they aren't unique to our country, except for the Janet Jackson incident (at least I think that's unique), but that doesn't let us off the hook or make us more mature.
Still, it's a pretty stupid thing for Mrs. Kerry to say during an election campaign - especially one that's already gotten ugly and will probably will get even uglier (although I don't know if it's fair to blame Kerry himself for what his wife says).
Wait a minute - when DID she say this, anyway? Was this a recent comment, or something somebody dug up somewhere froma few years back?
