Once, when I was a White House reporter for a mainstream news organization, my editor ran a story on the front page. Mind you, we only put two stories on the front page, so it was a big deal.
As I remember, it was a first-rate piece that presented some really important information. It deserved to be on the front page. It so deserved to be on the front page that, in fact, it had been there a couple of weeks before.
Thats right, the editor ran the same story twice, in the same place. He deserved to be fired. It was only because the chief editor of the publication was a magnanimous guy that he wasnt.
My point is, there there are some mistakes, in the jobs we hold, that you just cant make. It almost doesnt matter what else you have done. If you sailed the QE II around the world 20 times and then on the 21st you ram it into Gibraltar, youre not going to be captaining the QE II again. You can go rent sailboats in the Bahamas.
John Kerrys error Monday in London was of the type that I cannot remember from a U.S. Secretary of State in my lifetime. With a few careless words and careless is exactly the antithesis of what a diplomat must be Kerry completely screwed up the presidents policy, a policy that is a matter of war and peace. President Obama should fire him.
By suggesting off the cuff in answer to a question at a news conference . . .

HArdly anyone dies while falling anyway.
It’s the sudden stop at the end.
Pin?
You SURELY meant BIG!
Who VOTES for these people?
I live in Maryland and I can assure you I voted for neither Cardin, Mikulski, or for Steny Hoyer.
They are owned and occupied by Obama.
(Just a touch of sarcasm)...
I know JF Kerry is the right man for the Obama administration.
Obama’s agenda toward America was very clear even before he was elected president the first time.
Kerry and all the others Obama surrounds himself with whom he handpicked; are left of left — just like Obama.
Oh, really? How can you tell?
More to the point, how can you tell it's not deliberate? Rush was eloquent the other day in bragging about how he'd finally found an ally for his (and my) cynical view of Barky's efforts in New York intellectual Norman Podhoretz. Never mind that liberals hate Podhoretz like they hated Dick Cheney -- Podhoretz brings a heavyweight mind to Rush's side of the round table.
Jean Francois doesn’t look human, he looks like a wax mannequin from Madame Tussaud’s.
He’s had work done; just look at the chin.
ok...
I think it was an accident, just making an offhand remark when he as answering the question....never dreamed Syria would take him up on the offer. This Administration doesn’t seem to realize you have to be careful when you say things....like the Red Line for example....Biden is another example.
Say what you mean and mean what you say. They all act like a couple of incompetent college kids that know it all.
He can buy any face he wants and this is what he got?
He's always had uneven eyes but they look even more unevenly pronounced since the "work".
He looks like he is wearing a mask - like a burn victim's mask.
Just sad.
Still, he's a jerk and his being SOS furthers Obama's objectives which do not achieve what is good for America.
O M G ! ! ! YES!!!
Good call, Impy!
----------------------------------->
Impeach Kerry and then impeach Obama.
Or, the other way around.
Just as long as it gets done - both of them impeached.
