Obama Should Fire John Kerry
White House Dossier ^ | Sep 11, 2013 | Keith Koffler

Posted on 09/11/2013 10:25:04 AM PDT by Hoodat

Once, when I was a White House reporter for a mainstream news organization, my editor ran a story on the front page. Mind you, we only put two stories on the front page, so it was a big deal.

As I remember, it was a first-rate piece that presented some really important information. It deserved to be on the front page. It so deserved to be on the front page that, in fact, it had been there a couple of weeks before.

That’s right, the editor ran the same story twice, in the same place. He deserved to be fired. It was only because the chief editor of the publication was a magnanimous guy that he wasn’t.

My point is, there there are some mistakes, in the jobs we hold, that you just can’t make. It almost doesn’t matter what else you have done. If you sailed the QE II around the world 20 times and then on the 21st you ram it into Gibraltar, you’re not going to be captaining the QE II again. You can go rent sailboats in the Bahamas.

John Kerry’s error Monday in London was of the type that I cannot remember from a U.S. Secretary of State in my lifetime. With a few careless words – and careless is exactly the antithesis of what a diplomat must be – Kerry completely screwed up the president’s policy, a policy that is a matter of war and peace. President Obama should fire him.

By suggesting off the cuff in answer to a question at a news conference . . .

Why? He’s just as incompetent, stupid, anti-american, destructive, bumbling and tyrannical as everyone else in this administration. He’ a perfect fit!

John Kerry is perfect for the job. He has been wanting to see the decline of the US for his entire adult life. He has even gone as far as to meet with the enemies of the country in a time of war and work to there benefit on US soil.

This job of handling Obama’s strategy of transforming the US from leader of the free world to getting it from behind by the commies is well served by John Kerry.

This is what happens when you fill your cabinet with ideologues. They are incompetent at the least and quite dangerous.

“If Kerry gets canned, I suspect we would see someone like Hank Johnson or Barbara Lee take his place.”

But then we would have an “investigation” of whether or not Guam was going to capsize if we added any military personnel there! As for Barbara Lee, at least it would get her out of our neighborhood, because she definitely “doesn’t speak for me.”

I have no respect for someone like John Kerry who is so vain that he at one point he turns himself orange in color and who has recently messed up his face with botox and goodness knows what. Have you seen his face? His eyes are not even, well, EVEN. The guy is really creeping me out. BOO!

You mean, like in a duel? I'd pay a lot to see that!

He looks horrible. I don’t know what he had done to his eyes, but one is much smaller than the other, and both are drooping badly.

Little hottie Susie is better on the eyes than Lurch "You Raaaang" Kerry as well.

Kerry is too stoopid to realize he's too stoopid even for this clown car administration

That would certainly figure. I’ve gone all in on a couple gals in my lifetime, only to find out much later and to my great dismay that they were both LGBT aficionados -

Fie the 96 Senators that voted to approve of John Kerry for Secretary of State.

Every stinking one of them. Not one of them deserves to sit in the Senate.

I would prefer that Kerry and Obama both be humiliated by Congress impeaching Kerry against Obama’s wishes.

In sKerry's case the analogy should be; he's rammed the QE II into Gibraltar 20 times. What do you think he will do on his 21st voyage?

0bungles knew what he was getting when he hired Hanoi John.

He can’t fire him for being stupid after he has embraced the stupidity.

Hire a liar, gold-digger, poseur, dishonorably discharged effete snob as your foremost representative to the world.

What could possibly go wrong?
