Secretary of State John Kerry literally brought musician James Taylor to Paris in order to play his hit song “You’ve Got a Friend” to the French after the United States sent no high-end representatives to a massive solidarity march last week.

For an administration that supposedly doesn’t “do theater,” this was “theater of the absurd.” I winced, I winced hard.

The sad and pathetic part of all this is that these people think they are the “cool kids.”

HEY, EVERYBODY!

DON’T FORGET ALINSKY’S RULE #5:

“RIDICULE IS MAN’S MOST POTENT WEAPON.”

TIME TO POUR IT ON!

I can’t watch the news anymore.

Morons rule the day.

They are getting stupider and stupider by the minute with no relief in sight.

I’m surprised he didn’t drag Joan Baez along as well.

SMH in disgust
