Caroline Kennedy on Life As Ambassador: Palace Runs, Twitter Controversy [Media Worship]
ABC ^ | 4/24/14 | Devin Dwyer

Posted on 04/24/2014 5:32:28 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

..."I think that my story in a way is a great metaphor for the US-Japan alliance," Kennedy told ABC's Jonathan Karl in an interview here. "Countries that were once adversaries and enemies in war are now the best of friends and allies...

...Kennedy is a celebrated figure on the streets of Tokyo, where she received an almost royal welcome here five months ago....

Kennedy has demonstrated that she isn't afraid to rock the boat. Shortly after arriving in Japan, she stirred up controversy with a Twitter condemnation of the annual dolphin hunt, a Japanese tradition.

She called the slaughter "deeply concerning" for its "inhumanness," raising eyebrows among many Japanese.

"The reaction was mixed," she said of the spat, but "think that the whole point of being allies is that we can you know express our disagreements."

The suck up bias in this laughable, pathetic tripe ought to be used to teach kids the difference between journalism and propaganda.

Devin Dwyer cannot even be subtle about the liberal bias....

Then you have not heard her speak.

Look at the quote. She cannot speak a sentence without saying the expression, ‘you know’.

There is no recording available on youtube, it is way over the top embarrassing.

She is a babbling adolescent, twittering about dolphins.

"I think that my story in a way is a great metaphor for the US-Japan alliance . . . "

Lord have mercy! Have you ever seen a more self-absorbed narcissist? The US-Japan Alliance is all about her.

Her comments before her handlers/editors got to it:

"You know, I think that my, you know, story in a way is a great, you know, metaphor for, you know, the US-Japan alliance," Kennedy told ABC's Jonathan Karl in an interview here. "Countries that were once, you know, adversaries and enemies in war are now the best of friends and, you know, allies..."

Hillary says you know a lot also. Hillary is supposed to be the smartest woman in the world, but, she also has trouble expressing coherent thoughts.

Maybe it’s an affliction of liberal females. Because they are fawned over so much, due to being liberal, they never have to develop the ability to speak coherently.

Saw her interviewed this morning. She’s seriously inarticulate.

I would think anyone with any sense as an ambassador, would not get involved in publicly lecturing the Host country about why you don't like their traditions.
Should Japan respond by lecturing us about rewarding sexual deviance in this country.

I wold hope ambassadors would make relations with countries go more smoothly and not highlight the the controversial differences. -Tom

Dolphins know what they have done, they are the NAZIs of the sea, they kill Porpoises for no purpose...

Dolphins are druggie genocidal rapists....
