Boxers or briefs?

Remember that question?

It came up for the first time in 1992, when someone asked then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton which one he preferred.

It seems Sen. John Kerry thinks Sen. John McCain would choose diapers instead.

According to PolitickerMA.com, Kerry was speaking at an event Monday in Cambridge and decided to begin with some "light-hearted banter" about cable TV news and dealing with "the press' silly questions."

Here's an excerpt:

"I don't know if any of you know what it's like. I do, obviously," he said. "I've been asked all of those brilliant questions that were repeated this year."

"Barack got asked the famous boxers or briefs question," Kerry went on. "I was tempted to say commando."

The senator said Obama successfully parried that question but that John McCain, the GOP nominee, had some problems.

"Then they asked McCain and McCain said, 'Depends,'" Kerry said to lots of laughter from the crowd.
