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.”

That’s right France... be comforted. And if those meanies ever bother you again let the world know that we will not hesitate to use stinging sarcasm in addition to nursery rhyme music!

Really? We paid for Sweet Baby James to be sent to Paris to sing a 40year old song?

I wonder if he had cd’s for sale in the lobby....

If’n I was French, I’d be a tad pee-eaux’d

As of today it has been 3638 days since 01/30/2005 when "Hanoi" John Kerry promised, on national TV, to sign form SF-180 and release his military records.

We're still waiting Johnboy!

Yeah, but Cat Stevens is now a Moslem so he’s a much better candidate signing “It’s a Wild World.”

The French thought Jerry Lewis was a genius...maybe that explains 0bama’s popularity there.

Why don’t Liberals simply defecate into a bag and call it “Poops for Peace”? It would do as much good.

When a friend of John Kerry’s dies, does he normally show up at the funeral home six days after the friend’s funeral took place with James Taylor in tow to express his phony condolences?

Real friends attend their dead friends’ funerals when they’re taking place.

Whether they realize it or not, John Kerry just dropped un tas de merde on the French people. What a cretin.

Thanks. I originally was thinking it was James Taylor that changed his name then I realized it was Cat Stevens. It would have made sense to show our “solidarity” with the Muslim world. Just the thing a gigolo would do.

I think it’s a window in a door - like on a back door.

Poor John Kerry.He’s not even itelligent enough to realize that he has become a laughing stock.”Senator Heinz” better hold on to the Mrs.It won’t be too long before his looks go and then no one will want him.What’s that you say? They have left him? I’m not certain of that.I think that he is going for that Mr.Ed/mannequin face look.In which case ,he has succeeded admirably.Who will the White House send next...Howard Dean and Courtney Love? Look at the bright side .At least we won’t have to suffer Obama’s Presidential library. His sycophants need only to rent space for a “Presidential Van.” Legacy me arse.
