They mean it as a compliment. But it is not.
He remains a gigolo of limited intelligence or skills who is using his wife’s first husband’s money to indulge in his refusal to hold down a real job while hogging the spotlight.
So, yeah, they are not wrong.
Patrician, old money, limited competence, unjustifiably high sense of self-worth.
I can see why they like him.
Wow, look at that, a government telling the truth. Will wonders never cease?
Kerry earned it.
Watching this nobody plus assorted eurotrash alongside their failed ‘Rebel Alliance’ trying to lecture Assad and Putin on the future of Syria gave me a real schadenboner.
Unlike many of his generation of US pols, he didn’t avoid service in Vietnam. But he was such a dolt that he threw away the political advantage.
He was, actually, in Vietnam. But he spent most of his time there acquiring minor but politically-advantageous scratches and the rest indulging in Walter Mitty fantasies (remember Christmas in Cambodia and the Magic Hat?). On his return he used his time there to betray his fellow troops and to snuggle up to vile Communist apologists. He should have been court martialed.
Who said Frogs don’t have a sense of humor?
And who said they have a grasp of irony?
This French counterpart is indeed a class act. The school of Talleyrand runs deep and long.
Giving awards to brand new political appointees eg Obama got the Nobel prize.
Is this a new Fashion?
Can he move to France?
Can he move to France?
Chirst, he can’t even spell France… Now you want him to try his hand at using a map?
If he ends up in the middle of the Atlantic without a flotation device that’s ok with me. If we are unlucky and he ends up in Frome we might need to nuke the town from orbit.
Kerry: “Frome is the contraction for French Rome.”
