Secretary of State John Kerry sought to show the United States’ support of France after the recent terrorist attack against the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo by having James Taylor sing “You’ve Got a Friend” at a Paris press conference.
Nile Gardiner, director of Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation, blasted this decision, calling it “embarrassing” and “cringeworthy.”

Should have had Cat Stevens signing “It’s a Wild World.”
Should have had Randy Newman sing “Political Science” (”Let’s drop the big one”)
>> that god awful “Imagine” song...
Imagine there’s no ‘bama,
It’s kinda fun to do,
No more of Shelly’s fat azz,
And no F’n Kerry too...
Imagine all the pee-ee-pul
Living life free of regulatory excess and dictatorial executive orders
Woo hooo hoo hoo hoo
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some da-ay-ay-ay they’ll all drop dead
Pee-ing on their graves would sure be fun!
(OK, yeah, the regulatory excess line doesn’t rhyme. Cut me some slack, I’m an amateur.)
I’ts sad to say but we have sunk lower than the French.
We’ve come a long way since Henry Kissinger was Secretary of State, and it ain’t pretty.
Just yesterady morning, they let me wear my Purple Heart
Symington, but in Laos the villages burn
I woke up a Winter Soldier in a free fire zone
I just can’t blame the Havoc on the Viet Cong
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain. I’ve tripped on the tarmac at Danang.
I’ve lied at the hearings about war crimes my friend, but I always thought that I’d see you again.
Won’t you look down upon me, Aiken, I’m in front of the microphone stand
You’ve got to coach me through another day.
Asking for reparations to Indochina is there any other way
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain. I’ve tripped on the tarmac at Danang.
I’ve lied at the hearings about war crimes my friend, but I always thought that I’d see you again.
Fantastic, thanks.
It use to be “over sexed, over paid, and over here” when we fought along side French and UK soldiers in the trenches. Now it’s “You’ve got a friend” by an old hippie and his potato faced frankenstein. What a frickin’ embarrassment.
Can you imagine Sec. Kissinger or John Foster Dulles doing anything this juvenile? It is embarrassing to see how light weight this entire administration is.

Vile!

This is like something from The Onion, or a South Park episode. But it is not. It is real.
When I first heard this story I thought it must surely be a joke. But no dice.
Can our “leadership” get any more effete and feminized? Maybe JFKerry should propose a big group cry over the whole matter.
Because nothing says “We’re behind you” than a washed-up old fold singer. Should have brought Jerry Lewis instead. At least they’ve heard of him.
I think it would have been cooler, more effective and more appropriate if Hanoi Boi had brought KISS to sing “Love Gun”! JMO!
Singing a song like that is similar to some of the “Barney” shows I remember my grand kids watching on TV. How embarrassing for the U.S. Then again, when you have children running the show, what can be expected?
If you have to tell someone you are their friend, it means you have not been acting as their friend.
