I wonder how many millions of dollars that trip cost. Perhaps someone should introduce him to telepnones.

Kerry is an experienced pilot.

A cessna single engine prop plane?

I'm sure if the pilots of the 4 jet engine C-17 Globemaster had engine trouble and were down to just one engine they would go ask John Kerry for advice. LOL!

Give him a Nobel Peacey Award!

He'll probably get one -- if he gives $150B of our money to Antarctica.

Antarctica is one of the few places where Kerry could come away with a peace agreement that wouldn't result in more war.

Who says the Obama administration can’t do anything right?

They sent Kerry to end of the earth.

I’ve never heard anyone mention his piloting skills before. I double dog dare him to lick a metal pole while he’s down there. :P

Don’t slander able seamen. It’s an honorable rate.
