Why did Kerry go around the arab world (including France which is half arab) anyway?
Did he book non-refundable tickets and thought he would start his "welcome to my presidency" tour now and be back for the inauguration? Maybe he had it all planned and wanted to sell tickets personally to his best buddies in the mosques of Mekka and the nazilover palace in Paris?
Surely, Kerry's text had to be rewritten - or so one might think. Perhaps he even went with his original memo and instead of selling tickets to his inauguration, he sold Kerry election memorabilia.
We can only speculate at this point...
Because the impulse of the Vietnam-era left is to apologize for this country.
