Embattled, Rice bows out of running; Kerry likely

And Kerry will become “embattled” again. People have not forgotten about him, to be sure.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ve got to admit, I wouldn’t mind seeing old horseface gone from the Senate.

[Michigan Bowhunter]

In the end.....it will be Chuck Hagel as Sec Def and a left (and I mean LEFT FIELD) selection for SOS who comes from academia. Kerry doesnt want this mess.

[pallis]

And now we can have the nuanced nuisance.

[SkyDancer]

The traitor???

[chessplayer]

Actually better this way. If Rice had won, ‘Herman Munster’ Kerry would have been nominated for Sec. of Defense.

[Venturer]

John Kerry already has experience with dealing with Commmunists , he met with the Viet Cong during the Viet nam war. Nothing like putting a traitor and war criminal as Secretary of State.

I would bet that John McCain will say what a wondeful guy he is, I can hear him now. “My Friend and colleague John F’in is a wonderful choice.”

Unbelieveable things happen in the worlds of politics.The man who characterised our soldiers of behaving like Ghengis Khan will be representing America.

It’s enough to make a buzzard gag.

Here come the Swift Boats...

It's hard for me to guess who'd do more damage to the U.S., Rice or Kerry. Frankly I think Obamugabe preferred Kerry all along and knew he'd brew up a dangerous $hit$torm trying to get Rice confirmed in the midst of the Benghazi mess.

Now that Republicans have "won" what I think was an imaginary battle against Rice it will be next to impossible for them to deny the S of S job to the guy I've heard may be a Vietnam veteran.

I would suspect the Kerry-Heinz is just as incompetent as Rice or Mrs. Bill .... so, for the Food Stamp President, what’s not to like. Besides he can make the cooked Rice one of his personal Czars without Senate confirmation.

[nuconvert]

I’d rather see him as Secretary of State than Secretary of Defense

[buwaya]

SOS in this administration seems like a phoney baloney job.
I don’t think Hilary had any authority at all.

Kerry is a poor choice for nearly anything, but under the circumstances he is just as harmless as SOS as a Senator. And with a bit of luck we could pick up his seat.

[ogen hal]

This moronic loser (AKA: kerry) has a “4PH” license plate. This to remind everyone that while he is a traitor he did reward himself 4 questionable Purple Hearts. Loser.

Maybe it was because of this:

[smoothsailing]

I doubt the Swiftees will get involved unless Zero tries to make Kerry the SecDef.

[Bluestocking]

Will we ever be able to have a female Secretary of State again?

Once Obama finishes helping his Muslim friends sharia-ize the Middle East, the only way a female diplomat will be able to get close to a Middle Eastern leader will be by joining his harem.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

The Swifties are quietly loading their torpedoes to sink Kerry, again, if he rears his traitorous head.

You can count on it!

[norwaypinesavage]

Kerry must be getting used to sloppy seconds.
