Kerry gives France “a big hug”; Hillary benefits most
Posted by Richard on January 17, 2015
Yesterday, Secretary of State John Kerry tried to make amends to the French people for the Obama administration’s non-participation in last Sunday’s massive pro-free-speech demonstration. He did so by saying he was there “to share a big hug with Paris” and by bringing James Taylor to sing “You’ve Got a Friend.”
No, really. In case you missed it (most of the MSM ignored this most awkward part of Kerry’s awkward visit), here’s the video of James Taylor singing while Kerry looks like the doofus he is:
If you couldn’t bring yourself to watch all 3½ minutes, I completely understand; neither could I.
Newsbusters called it “one of the most embarrassing moments in American diplomatic history” and a “bizarre attempt at international damage control.”
Hillary Clinton’s supporters must be thrilled, or at least relieved. Because, as Man with Axe noted on Twitter, this farce bumps her out of the top spot for a dubious distinction:
@KurtSchlichter @jimgeraghty @JonahNRO Hillary: “Woo hooo. Now the Reset is the 2nd stupidest thing a Secretary of State has ever done.”

UPDATE: *snicker*
Best part of the James Taylor Paris concert was when that guy in the back yelled “Free bird!!!” and held up his bic lighter.
