Kerry To Bereaved Parents Of Fallen Max Steingberg [sic]: ‘How’s Your Day?’
Jewish Political Updates blog ^ | July 23 2014 | Jacob Kornbluh

Posted on 07/23/2014 2:11:42 PM PDT by PoloSec

Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday paid a shiva call to the parents of Max Steinberg, a Los Angeles native IDF soldier who was killed Sunday in Gaza, at the Crowne Palza hotel in Jerusalem.

“It’s just a huge statement about a young guy finding a place that he was so passionate about, and giving his all, putting himself on the line,” Kerry told the Steinbergs. “It’s an amazing story.”

“How’s your day?” Kerry asked them as he sat down, according to The Jewish Journal. “How’s your day?” Evie Steinberg asked back. “My day’s going better than yours,” he said.

“I am so honored to be here. I am in awe of your son, truly,” Kerry told the family. “And I think you know, I served in the military, and I have great respect for anybody who… especially puts themself willingly in harm’s way. And as an American, we’re so proud of the affection that he felt, just the love he felt, and the roots he found in this country.”

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, accompanying Kerry, added, “There’s no greater manifestion of the bond between our countries than an American citizen putting himself in harm’s way to defend Israel.”

According to the Los Angeles Jewish Journal, “Kerry entered and exited the room swiftly, surrounded by men in black and refusing to take any questions from press.”

There is no one in this administration who isn't a total embarrassment.

His intelligence is surpassed only by that of Al Frankin and Shiela Jackson Lee.

Can you imagine Biden as POTUS and Kerry as VP?

Thanks-more evidence that Kerry and his type are totally out of touch-and tact...

He is of average intelligence but pretends to more.

Congressman BillyBob (FReeper since deceased) attended Yale with Kerry. He would assure you that the above is a gross over-statement of Kerry's intelligence and a pronounced under-statement of his self-regard.

He is a most unlikable buffoon.

How was your day? I can tell him how my day was. Having a traitor as President and a traitor as Secretary of state really SUCKS.

As far as I'm concerned, they're both traitors and they both suck! Take that any way you like.

Not only does he make an idiotic comment like ‘how’s your day?’ but he follows it with ‘I think you know I was in the military.’ Can someone please call 911 to remove this guy’s head from his ass?

I guess comparison is more accurate than simile, but you nailed it.

Kerry couldn't even fake compassion. I guess he needs speech writers to express condolences.

Looks like he is saying “Can you believe Jews eat this crap?” And the thing is Kerry is a Jew himself, he’s a Faux Irishman whose real name is Kohn whose grandfather changed it to Kerry and Johnny boy here used it pass himself off as an Irishman to the Kennedy rapist clan in Assachussets when in fact he’s as Irish as Chuck Schumer. I’m a Jew myself and I cannot stand frauds like him, especially ones that bash Israel. The guy is a traitor on every level, to the military, to his country, his religion and to his ethnicity. Even his face is fake with the botox and his financial situation is fake. He’s nothing but a cheap ass male prostitute who should be nowhere near a position of power.

I try to be gentlemanly about these things - hence the asterisk. However, your descriptor is reasonably accurate.
