Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) added more clarification to his surprising decision to bow out of the 2008 presidential race when he announced at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, that he was “king of the world.”
“It doesn’t matter that American voters rejected me in 2004,” Kerry told a stunned audience at a plenary session on “Weevil Control in Less Developed Countries.” “It doesn’t matter that 53 percent of Americans disapprove of the job I’m doing as United States Senator. Because I’m king of the world.”
Kerry said he knew he was king of the world when he discovered a tee-shirt with that title in his luggage when he unpacked after arriving for the conference. “I didn’t pack that shirt,” Kerry reminded the audience. “Its miraculous appearance on the eve of this important conference is a sign that a higher power has picked me for this vital role.”
As his first act under this newly granted authority, Kerry declared the United States an “international pariah.” “The American electorate’s failure to make me president in 2004 sent a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy to the rest of the world,” Kerry said. “I was the chosen one. All the other world leaders wanted me to lead America. I tried to explain that to voters, but they were too obtuse to grasp the significance of this fact. They have made America an international pariah.”
Kerry said he would be seeking counsel from these other world leaders before deciding what sort of punishment he should mete out to the people of the United States.
An embarrassed Teresa Heinz Kerry, Senator Kerry’s wife, explained that she had packed the tee-shirt as a gag gift prior to the senator’s departure for the conference. “It was meant as joke consolation for his dropping out of the presidential race,” she said. “Sometimes he’s so full of himself that he can’t help behaving like an ass.”
In related news, Speaker Pelosi’s arrival in Baghdad was followed by dancing in the streets and a spirited rendition of “Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead” by Iraqis under the mistaken impression that her plane had crashed.
