Kerry opened his speech with one-liner jokes about Bush. His last joke was the comment which made the media rounds, and it flopped because he omitted the word “us”, which was in his written speech.

His written speech said, “…if you’re not educted you will end up in Iraq like us”, meaning you make bad decisions like Bush has done.

So the context was 1) jokes, and 2) a flopped joke because he omitted the word “us” when he delivered the speech.

This story is more of an example of the danger of relying on soundbites.
