Have to say as well that being the US Secretary of State, having to fly around the world 'splainin' all our bombing and droning, and eating whatever gross-out "delicacy" your hosts force upon you at state dinners, has got to be the worst SES-15 job in the world, private air travel notwithstanding. Kerry, to his eternal credit, is doing a good job.
"Mr Secretary, the protocol chief tells me that after the traditional dinner of locust-carapace soup, goat kidneys on flatbread, and ostrich heart soufflé, we're going be treated to a performance by N'gx'yü. She's quite remarkable, and accompanies herself on a one-string fretless gourd while chanting the national epic poem in the local 17-tone scale. We should have you back in your hut by 2:30 AM at the latest."
Exasperated at me? I respect Kerry for many reasons, one of which is stated at length above. I voted for him and hoped he would win because I believed then and still do that he would've been a much better president than W. But he's rather a boring public speaker.
Oh, no! I was referencing that Gore/Bush debate where Gore famously sighed loudly when Dubya was speaking.
Of course, And here I thought I remembered all obscure political memes. Memory is always the second thing to go.
I'd forgive HIllz for giving this one a polite decline.
I think the last Democratic Fox News debate had John Kerry in it. There's a very good reason for that.
Okay, apparently it was Al Gore in 2000.
Bore me once, shame on you…

Hey, I learned a new political meme today!
Life is good, hunh?
Maybe he'll explain it to me.
