I thought Kerry was warned NOT to do a reach-around...
Great find!
some one posted on another site “Kerry invited James Taylor because Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) was unavailable.”
Even my kiddie guitar recitals are more “professional” than that embarrassing display.
Tremble in fear, Islamists! We got a lot more aging hippies and soft-rock ballads where that came from. Just try us.— John Hayward (@Doc_0) January 16, 2015
Even Obama must have rolled his eyes and been somewhat embarrassed by this.
When Kerry said "it's a small world, after all" and the music began to swell, heroic French police dove for his mike, but it was too late.— John Hayward (@Doc_0) January 16, 2015
Do the French even have a word for Faux Pas?
We truly have idiots at the highest level of our government. Genuine true idiots.
Its not the job of any American leader or diplomat to ape the customs and mannerisms of the other nations. I notice they are never required to act American when their diplomats come here. The Queen isn’t told “Americans don’t bow to nobility”. The Saudi King isn’t told not to hold the presidents hand or he’ll look like a homo to Americans. Japs aren’t told not to slurp their food loudly. etc etc
I dislike Kerry, but I’m with him on this one. Americans shouldn’t be anything besides what we are for them. Its their job to enjoy the cultural differences sometimes.
The mean old British bit@h. She needs to understand when someone was being nice and happy to see her. Life on earth is short and she holds a grudge over that?
What a douchebag. LOLOL
A man kisses a woman he hardly knows on the lips?? She should have swung her purse at him.
Kissing a man on the cheeks is between family and very close friends.
There are circumstances in which it isn’t appropriate.
Are you kidding? You're defending Jimmy Carter, that filthy leftwing Jew-hating POS, because you think he had the right to ignore protocol and plain decency, and nearly molest that elderly lady?
I'm not elderly, and I can tell you if he put his thick rubbery lips anywhere near me, he'd get a knee to the groin.
This guy is only 66 years old? I thought they had to get special permission to remove him from the old folks home. He looked at that guitar as tho’ he’d never seen one before.
Sorry - I was busy working in the sixties - too busy to pay attention to dope heads. Thank goodness..
The more I watch this, the funnier it gets. Kerry’s sort of slow-bopping, like sleepy Lurch dancing. And James Taylor is practically upside, trying to sing into that mike. And the whole thing is a ridiculous “sorry I missed your free speech party” peace offering - “here’s a guy who was famous forty years ago, singing about friendship, which is a perfect blendship, now we are friends again” - is Kerry really the best statesman this country has to offer, playing Captain Stuebing as he ushers forgotten stars onto the set.
SNL shouldn’t even bother to write an opening skit, they can just show this clip and have Carly Simon yell “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” at the end.
