Title: John Kerry, Secretary of Defense.
Post by: RoadKingLarry on November 13, 2012, 10:44:13 AM
Yeah that'll engender a lot of support from the military.
I'm not sure I could think of too many worse choices.

Maybe Murtha?

Well, I think I may have heard that he served in Vietnam.

So obviously he's qualified.

I sure hope you pronounced that with a soft g in the middle of Genghis.

Having been dead going on 2 years Murtha might do less damage.

Did he die?  Hmm.  Obviously he impressed himself so positively on my psyche that I failed to mourn his loss. :lol:

Kerry... sounds about right for our President.  Susan Rice is being bantered about by the media for Secretary of State which is the position that Kerry was supposed to want.  I can't think of a worse choice for Secretary of State, but Rice will certainly be a "yes woman" for the President without question.  It took major gonads to go on all the Sunday talk shows with the Benghazi story that she had to know was false.

Jane Fonda? Oh wait, they're probably looking at assigning her to head up the VA instead.

She's a natural for Secretary of State, being that she's experienced in communicating and visiting with our enemies...

I can't think of anything clever to say.

And I have evidently contracted tetanus.  I don't seem to be able to unclench my jaw.

I'd change the channel but the 11 of us here voted 9 to 6 to take the batteries out of the remote control and give them to the jobless guy on the couch for his new phone.

You're just trying to suppress the vote and disenfranchise people !!!


Back to the OP.  I'll be over in the corner curled up in the fetal position.  The only upside is getting John Kerry out of the senate.   Maybe MA can regain their senses and send a (R) back to the Senate.

I just saw Susan Rice is a front runner for Secretary of State. With both her and Kerry in, we're likely to surrender to the French.

Don't forget the ino after that (R) if they come from MA.

That is an awfully hawkish job for somebody who claims he threw his medals away in 1971.

You mean the same MA that replaced Scott Brown with 0/32 Cherokee Elizabeth Warren? Surely you jest.

Correct, Senate seats carry more prestige than House seats . . . so it will be Rep. Carolyn McCarthy instead.
