The new media has commenced it's consideration of the alleged Kerry SoS nomination. Let's hope Scott Johnson's initial take is the prelude to a torrent of blogospheric umbrage...
Quote: | Kerry me back
by Scott Johnson
December 15, 2012
Today brings word that President Obama has decided to appoint John Kerry as Secretary of State. The record of Kerry’s opinions in American foreign policy is long and deep, distinguished by its devotion to mischief, error and misjudgment.
<snip>
Kerry has done a lot of damage in the course of a long public career...I was a sophomoric antiwar student who had turned out to hear the new antiwar celebrity. Kerry had me eating out of his hand. I believed him. I bought it all. Why not? He’d served in Vietnam and held himself out as speaking from his personal experience. I was a fool, of course, but Kerry cynically exploited the ignorance of me and many others like me.
One of the students right next to me in the audience stood up to walk out on Kerry’s speech and shouted to Kerry as he approached the steps descending to the first floor of the Hop: “You phony. You’re just in this to promote yourself.” Kerry was only momentarily flustered, bending down to the microphone and asking the guy to stay and talk after he’d already made his way down the steps.
At the time I couldn’t believe the obtuseness of the student; I bought Kerry’s act completely. In retrospect, however, that student may have been the most perceptive person with whom I’ve ever crossed paths.

Just received email news alert from CNN, Quote: | "President Obama will nominate Sen. John Kerry to be Secretary of State, a democrat who spoke to the senator says."
"A formal announcement could come next week, the source said."
