John Kerry Boringly Clamors for Secretary of State

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

Barack Obama is assembling his cabinet, and anonymous sources say that John Kerry is gunning for Secretary of State. "Anonymous sources" also said that Barack Obama was a secret Muslim, but this one seems legit

Several Democrats said Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, who won a new six-year term on Tuesday, was angling for secretary of state. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss any private conversations.

Kerry has many reasons to covet the world-traveling post. Among them…

* His love of France is surpassed only by the original Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson. (Although Benjamin Franklin probably loved the French whores more than either of them.)

* He has yet to windsurf the Persian Gulf.

* His travels might reveal another chateau he can pay to have disassembled, shipped to Sun Valley, Idaho, and rebuilt on his property.

* He wants pictures of himself in Cambodia to mail to T. Boone Pickens.

* He's desperate to get away from Teresa.

Insiders believe that if Kerry truly covets the post, Obama is likely to give it to him, considering that all Kerry ever did for Obama was more or less facilitate his entire national career.

First, by giving Obama the keynote address at his nominating convention. And second, by running such a bad campaign that he lost to a man who now has a 25% approval rating and plunged our nation into massive debt, a recession, and multiple international quagmires… thus clearing the decks for an Obama landslide.

The least amount of payback Obama can offer is the chance to ditch this joint while the getting's good.

  1. Senator Heinz not Senator Kerry shipped the chateau to Sun Valley. Get your facts straight.

  2. Boring? Who told you that? I have met the man and he is anything but boring. Please knock off the Republican misconceptions about Kerry they are unfair and undeserved. How low are you willing to go for a laugh? I would love to see Kerry as SOS. He is highly qualified and could represent Obama well. Give the guy a break. He ran for President and came very close to winning. (Many believe he did actually win). He had 49% of the vote and people were confortable with him as President. He is respected and well received overseas and his was born for this positon.
    I give a thumbs up to Kerry and a thumbs down to you for being nasty and reinforcing old lies that have been disproven about Kerry.

  3. Trust Obama's judgement. Great people see beyond surface.

  4. Nah. He'd be a poor choice for Secretary of State.

  5. Kerry is one… different looking guy. He might be a Muslim.

  6. But he's such a hothead! What if he unleashes a blistering attack like this on a foreign leader? http://tinyurl.com/5ajjqk
