Secretary of State John Kerry Tells World That America Permits Stupidity

This is a headline? What’s next, water’s wet?

Of course Americans have a right to be stupid. One need only look at the recent “debate” on gun control, or the sequester, or the the Tea Party, or any of a host of things.

What point, exactly, are you trying to make?

  Me or John Kerry? I just thought that was funny.

    Yeah, it was.
    
    Sorry if I jumped the gun. Got used to seeing articles attacking Kerry (“Omigod! Did you hear what he said?”) when he’s attempted a joke.

      I feel your pain. I worked for Kerry/Edwards and really like him. This is going to sound all pretentious and name droppy but I have chatted with him a few times since and he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Really.

        Yeah. I’ve heard that criticism of many Democrats. ;)
