Apparently Lurch didn’t notice the severe mocking that ensued when the Goracle made this pathetic excuse.

Via The Hill:

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) joined Al Gore this week in blaming Denver’s high altitude for President Obama’s poor performance in the first presidential debate.

“I personally really do believe that the altitude may have had something to do with it,” Kerry told the Sante Fe New Mexican.

Gore previously blamed the high altitude for Obama’s showing, a claim mocked widely by Republicans and comedians.

Kerry also attributed Obama’s “bad night” to indecision on his strategy for his first matchup with GOP nominee Mitt Romney.

“I… think he wasn’t settled in his own mind completely on his own strategy,” Kerry said. “And I think that held him back. I was surprised, obviously.”

Kerry, who played Romney in mock debates against the president, seemed to imply that Obama may have been considering other last-minute approaches to the first debate, since that Obama had been on his game the night before.
