MOSCOW (Reuters) - The U.S. secretary of state sought Russian help in ending Syria's civil war on Tuesday, telling President Vladimir Putin in Moscow that common interest in a stable Middle East could bridge divisions among the big powers. Putin, however, kept John Kerry waiting three hours before their meeting at the Kremlin, fiddled with a pen while his guest spoke and made no mention in his own public remarks of the conflict in Syria, which has generated some of the frostiest exchanges between Washington and Moscow since the Cold War.

Lurch, the Doofus Secretary of State, cannot get any respect. Nobody wants to meet him, nobody returns his calls. Why not? Who wouldn't want to meet him and gain the wisdom of his experience and intellect. After all, he was in Vietnam!!!

“It’s OK, Mr. Putin, Sir. Take all the time you need! Just like the blue-lipped kenyan monkey told ya, in his second term, we’re flexible!”

A punk like Putin keeps the US secretary of State waiting for three hours: an indication of how far our standing in the world has fallen.

Kerry is lucky they let him in at all. A 3 hour wait is a diplomatic middle finger aimed right at Obama.

Interesting piece, odd that he’s right handed but
left eye dominant or so it would appear.

What disturbs me is that the Muslim in Chief was elected to a second term and therefore set the stage for Lurch to, well, lurch over to Russia and get stonewalled in public.
