/extrospect/Kerry's Ten Commandments
In last night's debate, Kerry said:
I was taught -- I went to a church school and I was taught that the two greatest commandments are: Love the Lord, your God, with all your mind, your body and your soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. And frankly, I think we have a lot more loving of our neighbor to do in this country and on this planet.
Unfortunately for him, loving your neighbour as yourself is not one of the ten commandments.
(Hey look, original punditry! I noticed this all by myself!)
Correction: Err..see the comments. Apparently this wasn't a ten-commandments reference, but a two-commandments reference. Boy is my face red.

Too bad you're wrong ;-P
He wasn't referring to the 10 commandments that God gave Moses; he was talking about the 2 commandments that Jesus issued in the New Testament.
