The Weekly Standard ^ | July 15, 2014 | Jeryl Bier

As John Kerry travels from country to country on various diplomatic missions as secretary of state (almost half a million miles so far), he often addresses the staff and their families at the U.S. embassies in the countries he visits. Remarks at these informal gatherings are often more casual than the usual speeches or press appearances, and Kerry often jokes with the staff and recognizes employees of long standing with the State Department. Monday, Kerry had one such opportunity in Vienna, Austria, the last stop on his most recent trip, and towards the end of his talk he recalled his two Yale commencement speeches, forty-eight years apart, where he discussed "sort of the world we’re in" and America's place in it.

"How did we get such a moron in such a high office?"

Kerry is not a moron but rather a true believer is the principles of global communism. That makes him more dangerous than being a moron.

While most of obama’s stupid and destructive policies don’t result from a stupid and incompetent mind - but rather from a deliberately evil one - the same can’t be said for Kerry. He’s almost too stupid to survive. He hasn’t the slightest idea what is meant by “American exceptionalism,” as defined by the man who coined the term.

John “Lurch” Kerry is exceptional and a legend in his own mind. Who would have thought a brain dead zombie like Lurch could form coherent sentences, walk, and scratch his ear without someone coaching him through these activities?
