Secretary of State John Kerry literally brought musician James Taylor to Paris in order to play his hit song “You’ve Got a Friend” to the French after the United States sent no high-end representatives to a massive solidarity march last week.
The United States took heat from around the world, and inside its own borders, after millions of people marched in the streets of Paris last week to show terrorists that they will not be frightened away from practicing free speech and expression.
President Obama, Vice President Biden, nor any cabinet members attended the rally, even though Eric Holder was in Paris during the march. At the same time, dozens of world leaders marched in the same rally.
The condemnation of the US not sending higher-ups to the rally was so vociferous that the White House’s Press Secretary eventually admitted, in a rare show of candor, that the nation should have sent someone from the cabinet or higher.

“You’ve Got a Friend” was written and sung first by Carole King. It was on her Tapestry album, one of my favorites. I still prefer her version to James Taylor’s.
It’s ridiculous that Kerry brought JT there to sing it. How embarrassing!
Rush is going to have a field day with this. If he can stop laughing long enough.
I am so embarrassed.
Surely someone on Saturday Night Live could think of something.
Oh THAT was Therea! LOL
OMG, this is NOT satire!
He is a war hero.
There is a plaque dedicated to the traitor in the Vietnam war museum.
Kerry looks like he belongs in Madame wax museum. What a freakish looking commie.
JT was already on tour in Europe.
The very last event at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena before they tore it down was a James Taylor-Carole King concert. Reports are that King blew him away in terms of showmanship, talent, energy, etc. And she’s in her mid-60’s.
John, John...wait a minute, this isn't satire!
The admin is so juvenile. Who is in charge of protocol? One screw up after the other.
Dear France:
We apologize for our State Department being complete and utter lunatics.
Signed,
An embarrassed American
Can you do something with this?
Maybe add the Rockettes?
Was this idea another Victoria Nuland brainfart?
Or Jen Psaki’s?
John Kerry and Obama making us look the fool again!
Hope he topped it off with a special #thatswhatfriends arefor tweet.
My favorite comment: “I’m guessing Carole King was unavailable to sing ‘It’s Too Late.’”
I'd forgotten how embarrassing Kerry looks in photos. His run for the Presidency produced some of the funniest photos I've seen.
