WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama on Friday nominated Sen. John Kerry as his next secretary of state, elevating the longtime lawmaker and foreign policy expert to the top diplomatic job he had coveted.

No, I reckon Jean Francois won't require much on-the-job training. He already has plenty of hands-on experience at selling his country out.

Can anyone confirm the rumor that he once served in Vietnam?

I believe he did serve in Vietnam. He managed to injure himself enough to earn three Purple Hearts!

Wasn’t there a Vanity Fair article after Kerry lost the pres election, describing him has inept and bumbling?

Lord, I confess our national sin of abortion and call on you to save this nation that still has a remnant.

In Jesus' name and for His sake, Amen

Did he actually injure himself in Vietnam, or did he injure himself while throwing somebody else’s medals over the White House fence?

talks with the Communist North.

Does anyone know if Bam nominated the sorry excuse in front of the Vietnam Wall or in Arlington Cemetry in front of patriots who are turning in their graves?

What rich loser. His foreign policy expertise includes traitorously bargaining with the North Vietnamese in Paris. Where’s the picture of him in the blue bunny suit?

When exactly did Hillary quit. I must be out of the loop, but I didn’t remember reading about her resignation.

No surprise -- but at least we can now be confident that the SNAFU that Hillary made of the State Department will be replaced with a giant cluster****.

If the guy wasn't more of a doofus than Bush, he wouldn't have lost to Bush!

(Probably no coincidence that today is the Mayan End of Time!)

I about gagged when Odumba mentioned that Kerry knew "first hand" what it was to serve in harm's way.

Like getting in the way of Terzahhhh when she makes a midinight run to the fridge is harm;s way!
