John Kerry given France's highest honour (Legion d'Honneur)
Yahoo News ^ | 12/11/16 | AFP

Paris (AFP) - US Secretary of State John Kerry has been given the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest honour, with his French counterpart calling him "the most French of American officials".

At a ceremony in Paris on Saturday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault also said the top US diplomat was a "tireless champion of peace".

"Francophone, Francophile, you are certainly the most French of American officials" Ayrault said.

Kerry's French heritage and fondness for the country saw him attacked on the presidential campaign trail in 2004, when he was the Democratic candidate running against Republican George W Bush.

Tensions were running high between Paris and Washington over the Iraq war, to the extent that America's beloved junk food, French Fries, were briefly renamed Freedom Fries, Ayrault said.

Kerry's mother and aunt were born in Paris in the early 1920s and America's top diplomat spent holidays as a young man at the family residence in Saint-Brignac-sur-Mer, in Brittany.

They gave him the Order of the White Flag, which he deserved for everything from selling us out in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, to this Contra-drugs fiasco investigation, to his support for the Sandinista Marxist thugs, the abandonment of our POWS/MIAs in 1994-95, and his continual support for Iran and against Israel.

Meanwhile, the German government has decided to award him with two medals. The first is the “Lurch Look Alike Medal” and the other is the “Bolt Neck Medal” for best imitation of Frankenstein.

The German Psychiatric Association is awarding him the “A.B. Normal Medal” so that he can get a head in life.

And the remaining munchkins of the “Wizard of Oz” (sadly there are none left but their spirit survives), voted in the past to award Kerry the “Oz Scarecrow Award”, i.e., an imitation brain (since he never used his real one for anything good.

By the time Kerry finishes getting all these medals, he will look like a stooped over old Soviet Union soldier who got a metal for showing up for battle, for surviving the battles, and then for surviving a stint in a Siberian gulag.

That’s out boy, Beria, er, Kerry.

#68. See our books, “Unfit for Command” (by John O’Neil and Jerry Corsi, plus a cast of 260 Swifties, Scott Swett and moi) for his treasonous history.

Then try to find “To Set The Record Straight” (How Swift Boat Veterans, POWS and the New Media Defeated John Kerry), by Scott Swett and Tim Ziegler, which updated “Unfit for Command” , New American Media Publishing, LLC, www.nampub.com, 2008 (if that site is still active.

Never let this traitorous bastard get away with his lies and treason.

hum mm. interesting..

NO photo's of his wife being by his side as he was given this AWARD?

wonder why??? has she been even seen in the last three, four years? I've read where she is very ill and has around the clock nursing aids.

Yet he spends all his time alone and not at her side...
He is one strange dude...
So glad he will be gone along with most of all BHO employees..

LET'S ROAR LIKE LIONS ON JAN. 20, 2017 AS AMERICA BEGINS HEALING AND MAKING ‘AMERICA FIRST’

I can make some noise on 20 January 2017 ..... couple cases of tannerite, a brand new US flag for my homes flag pole, a few shots of TX and Buffalo Trace in celebration. May also go buy myself a perfect steak.....

I’m happy that we’re having to watch a whole new era of potential polidiot threats to our republic in the mid term elections and in 2020.

Fighting to keep America safe and secure never ever ends. Lifetime job to keep up with trash like Kerry. Van Jones, Weasel Clark Jr, Mzzz Clinton-Hubble and socialist garbage that hasn’t even been born yet.

Am I the only one that would like to see DJT offer the Ambassadors job in Benghazi to Chelsea Clinton ?......:o)

Mummenschanz face gets another meaningless award for being a scuzz.

I hope he lives long enough, in agony, to see Trump succeed.
