$23,811/hour, not counting maintenance and ramp expense.

Distance 3,671 miles Geneva to Boston @550 K = 6.67 hours

plus time and distance German to Switzerland = 573 miles

plus crew time preflight and postflight @ 4 hours

Plus return Boston to Germany @ 4,171 miles

Plus time to altitude and descent X 6 Plus crew time on the deck

= $527,176 + $17,720 for extra personnel/security

= $544,896 + to fly to Boston for non-Obamacare surgery (you can bet) for falling-off his bike.

Schmuck.

“...Apparently a C-5 was not available...?

nor the space shuttle....”

NOr was the Antanov 255. The biggest plane flying today would be just about big enough to haul his huge ego back here to the good ole U S of A.

So it costs us tens of thousands for security for Kerry to ride his bike, then tens of thousands to ship him home.

Not to mention he isn’t getting his supposed work done.

When will these limo libs grow up and work and stop playing on the taxpayer dime.

The femur is a very large bone and normally, it takes a lot of force to break it or something else unusual happening. I wouldn’t think running into a curb and falling/flipping off your bike (if that’s what happened) would generate enough force to break a femur; however, if the bone was compromised somewhat where it was involved with the hip replacement, then that would explain a lot.

I agree with your theory. If the break involves bone close to the hip it seems possible he could be in for a long rehab and possibly long term disability.

From what I read, he broke it during a staged publicity shoot......I think Harry Reid’s brother got drunk again.

I just find it convenient that he is now off the hook with Iran a total failure.These days I do not believe anything that comes from these people. Remember when Hillary went into the hospital for a stroke? It allowed her to avoid testifying or something like that then a few weeks later she was back to normal. Something very odd here.

Maybe Lurch got advance notice of this little gem & decided to bug out:

Surprise: Iran’s supply of enriched uranium has grown 20% since last year despite Obama’s claim that it was “frozen”

http://hotair.com/archives/2015/06/02/surprise-irans-supply-of-enriched-uranium-has-grown-20-since-last-year-despite-obamas-claim-that-it-was-frozen/

[From NYT] With only one month left before a deadline to complete a nuclear deal with Iran, international inspectors have reported that Tehran’s stockpile of nuclear fuel increased about 20 percent over the last 18 months of negotiations, partially undercutting the Obama administration’s contention that the Iranian program had been “frozen” during that period…

Seriously, no big deal. Good for the joke cracking crowd. I imagine when any high ranking U.S official is abroad that there are contingency plans for emergency and urgent medical evacuations.

I imagine that the C-17 — noted that could haul 100 soldiers, is in fact a secure flying medical facility with enhanced communications ability for high ranking U.S officials and wouldn’t be surprised to always find one at the ready traveling with the Secretary of State.

I bet when groups of Senators and Congressmen go on sanctioned junkets to foreign countries that they’re provided similar considerations.

This video should explain it to all here. Typical liberal hypocrites, they did every thing they could do destroy this project but are using the hell out of it now that they’re in charge. This video shows how the democratic elite use nonprofits to carry there water for them.

What’s funny to me this 2nd generation vip module doesn’t have a restroom. I can picture Lurch limping to the front of the C-17 to relieve himself. I hope some of the enlisted men have pictures, haha.

You would be correct in your thinking.

Well, what’s the obvious question? Who or what else was on that plane? Germany to Sweden to Boston.... what or who got delivered to where?

Something screams that something is wrong here. We shall see. The truth will come out sure enough. My theory of choice is that the agreement will collapse. Kerry can claim that it was on track when he was there and then he could not complete the agreement and the others who took over were of such a lower caliber than he was that everything fell apart. You know they would say something like that.

Well, it’s probably that rice that’s been embedded in his butt since Vietnam that caused a sudden sharp stab of pain and made him crash into the curb ... did you know he was in Vietnam? Of course, the embedded rice only causes pain when Lurch is under extreme stress ... the “puckering up” causes the derriere (did you know he speaks French?) muscles to clench on those sharp rice grains, so it all probably IS related to the Iran negotiations. If he does use this as an excuse if/when the talks collapse, just remember ... puckering, rice, crash, excuse - works for Lurch! :-)
