John Kerry Brings James Taylor to Paris to Play "You've Got a Friend" after US No-Show Last Week

Secretary of State John Kerry literally brought musician James Taylor to Paris in order to play his hit song “You’ve Got a Friend” to the French after the United States sent no high-end representatives to a massive solidarity march last week.

The United States took heat from around the world, and inside its own borders, after millions of people marched in the streets of Paris last week to show terrorists that they will not be frightened away from practicing free speech and expression.

President Obama, Vice President Biden, nor any cabinet members attended the rally, even though Eric Holder was in Paris during the march. At the same time, dozens of world leaders marched in the same rally.

The condemnation of the US not sending higher-ups to the rally was so vociferous that the White House’s Press Secretary eventually admitted, in a rare show of candor, that the nation should have sent someone from the cabinet or higher.

LOL

I used to really like JT’s music, but he is a truly despicable human being.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Oh. My. God. I thought this was a joke until I saw it on other news sites. Can it get any more embarrassing?

[Michael.SF.]

I have always found Taylor’s music to be boring, never had anything against the guy though, but now I do.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Better there than at Fenway Park butchering the Star Spangled Banner.

I went to a JT concert in 1980. A fundraiser for John Anderson. I did go with Reagan, though.

namaste, ya’ll

[McGavin999]

I am so sick of these entertainers getting involved in politics. That was humiliating.

[kidd]

I am so embarrassed.

[ClearCase_guy]

Kerry isn’t quite responding at the level of Black Jack Pershing.

[Wage Slave]

Figures he chooses a gurly man singer.

[BCW]

I though John Kerry was on tour with Justin Bieber...??? No,,,,I heard wrong...

[Buckeye McFrog]

Wow, you went to a James Taylor fundraiser concert for John Anderson with Ronald Reagan??

[onona]

You just can’t make this $hit up.

[LouAvul]

I have always found Taylor’s music to be boring

Ditto. And I watched him in a movie once. Total waste of the seventy nine cents it cost to get in. Except, I loved the car. Fifty five chevy, the same one they used in American Graffiti. Love that car.

This makes a compelling statement about our feelings for the French! /s

[smoothsailing]

...and that was after the French Bike Race with Kerry and Pee Wee Herman...

[faithhopecharity]

"You got a friend" in French no less. 😁😁Does anyone have a Bullsh@t flag in French? 😜. (Could these AH@les embarass America to any greater degree ? Seems impossible ...)

About six years ago, in the wake of Obama being awarded a Nobel Prize for showing up among other incredible, real-life, actual events, The Onion announced that parody was "no longer possible."
