STUDY FINDS JOHN KERRY WORST SECRETARY OF STATE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER By Emily Zanotti on 2.5.15 We all knew it. Even he probably knew it. But now, there's scientific proof.
John Kerry is the worst Secretary of State in history according to a survey of professors at the top 25 foreign policy schools conducted by Foreign Policy Magazine, losing out, even, to "Don't Know."
Foreign Policy magazine this week announced the results of its 2014 Ivory Tower survey of 1,615 international relations scholars from 1,375 U.S. colleges.
One question they were asked was: Who was the most effective U.S. secretary of state of the past 50 years?
The winner? Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry A. Kissinger, who was secretary for four years during the Nixon and Ford administrations. Since the Vietnam thing didnt turn out so well, the scholars must have been grading him on openings to China and the Soviet Union when he was at the National Security Council?
Kissinger got 32.21 percent, extraordinary in such a large field.
Dont Know came in a relatively distant second, with 18.32 percent.
James Baker who was actually the most effective secretary in the last 50 years came in third at 17.71 percent, just behind Dr. Know.
Former Obama Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tied with Clinton Secretary of State Madeline Albreight for fourth. Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice were 10th and 11th, respectively. Of the scholars who responded, Kerry earned exactly two votes, and came in after Lawrence Engleberger who was Secretary of State for a whole six weeks at the end of George H. W. Bush's second term, and spent most of that time keeping the chair warm for the Clinton appointee.

For a couple of grand they could have called me and it would have taken about a 5 min phone call instead of a “study”.
Lurch is a lying wimp and is dumber than a rock.
It is an entirely reasonable conclusion.
Worse than the Hildabeast?
As crappy as she was, Obama used her like a B*tch.
He owned her.
I think she was a fool to do business with Barry.
Most of the Professors who were polled were probably leftists. That explains why Hillary and Albright did so well. And Kissinger was responsible for the opening to China.
As for Kerry, he’s so damned dumb not even the leftists can put up with him. He follows leftist policy, but can’t even do that right.
Hitlery was despicable. Kerry is despicable. The puke that hired them is worse.
...???
Hilly did try to kick Barry on Fast and furious, He kicked her in the teeth, sent her to Papua new guinea and she got he message.
She got the message so good that she took the heat for Benghazi, then she had a tumble when it was time to testify.
Meanwhile.. on the beach, Barry was having iced creams.
Thank you captain obvious.
I kind of wonder if Hillary “has the goods” on Zippo’s real identity and he’s calling her bluff on revealing it.
I think Barry owns HER.
Kerry wants to suck Barry’s ****, but Hillary don’t like Barry’s ****
Ditto that....
These people are horrible people.
Not according to La Raza Rick Perry! He stated that Hillary was: “A very, very capable public servant, a great Secretary of State and First Lady”!
If the does not say it all about the judgement of liberals, I dunno what does.
But then, there was the sex poodle they tried to foist on the country.
“Former Obama Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tied with Clinton Secretary of State Madeline Albright for fourth.”
Now see, I’d argue those two were at least as bad as Kerry. Kerry’s not exactly been high speed as SecState, but he *did* inherit six years of Obama and Hillary! foulups. Even Stimson would have his hands full trying to clean up the mess we have on the international stage in 2015. And Johnny boy is no Henry L. Stimson.
Political schmoozing
Oh that’s what he does? I just thought he was a yes man that concedes to all terrorist’s demands and brokers weapon sales and plans on how build nuclear bombs with our enemies...
