Kerry arrives in Vietnam on his last trip as secretary of state (wasting taxpayer $$$ one last time)

HANOI — Secretary of State John F. Kerry returned to Vietnam on Thursday for his fourth and final visit as the top U.S. diplomat, his presence embodying the transformation of the two countries from enemies to partners.

Even as his nominated successor, Rex Tillerson, was answering questions at his confirmation hearing Wednesday, Kerry was already in the air for the 22-hour journey from Washington to Southeast Asia. It is the final trip overseas for the most traveled secretary of state in U.S. history. With his latest flight, he has now logged more than 1.4 million miles.

After two days in Vietnam, Kerry goes to Paris to confer with other foreign ministers on Middle East peace and to London for dinner with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. He will end the trip at an economic forum in Davos, Switzerland, then return to Washington with barely a day and a half left to savor what he has characterized as the job of a lifetime.

Kerry has lived up to his incompetence.

He’ll now hit the rubber chicken circuit to brag about his stupidity.

*HANOI — Secretary of State John F. Kerry returned to Vietnam on Thursday for his fourth and final visit as the top U.S. diplomat, his presence embodying the transformation of the two countries from enemies to partners.*

Would I be a bad person if I prayed for Kerry to step on a landmine?

....”And there I was. Man, were those the days. It was over 100 degrees in the MeKong Delta, where I took out a dozen North Vietnamese with my bare hands while simultaneously lighting up a cigarette. Just like John Wayne, who later called me and asked for my autograph. The Vietnamese women also had a thing for me too.”

It beats having to stay home and nurse the old lady. Don't you know how hard it is to put those raisins in the gin bottle for her.
