Senator John Kerry suggested that the media is toooooo balanced and should correct that problem by forgetting that the Tea Party exists.
Morning Joe is where liberal politicians go to spew their venom in a cool, calm, generally unchallenged atmosphere. Take, for instance, this clip of Senator John Kerry suggesting that the media is toooooo balanced and should correct that problem by forgetting that the Tea Party exists.
Kerry: “And I have to tell you, I say this to you politely. The media in America has a bigger responsibility than it’s exercising today. The media has got to to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual.
“It doesn’t deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do. And the problem is everything is put into this tit-for-tat equal battle and America is losing any sense of what’s real, of who’s accountable, of who is not accountable, of who’s real, who isn’t, who’s serious, who isn’t?”
John Kerry is emulating Carter by visiting other countries and then spouting off about his grand and self-aggrandizing accomplishments.
Get out of the way, President Obama. John Kerry is also following in the footsteps of Jimmy Carter. In Kerry’s case, he’s emulating Carter by visiting other countries and then spouting off about his grand and self-aggrandizing accomplishments.
"John Kerry, reporting for self-aggrandizing duty, sir."
This is not sitting well with the Secretary of State.
Jake Tapper reported Hillary’s displeasure on his blog at ABC News:
There appears to be a disconnect between what Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator John Kerry, D-MA, are saying about U.S. relations with Pakistan. Administration officials, and Secretary Clinton, don’t seem particularly pleased by his recent effort in Islamabad.
Yesterday during his visit there Kerry touted that relations between Washington and Islamabad had been “re-set” after the surprise US Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil.
Yet today, when asked whether US-Pakistan relations had actually turned the corner, Clinton said there was a long way to go.
“We are working very hard to have an understanding with our counterparts in Pakistan about the best way forward,” she said. “There are important concerns and many questions that have to be addressed and worked through.”
In fact, Clinton made it clear that Kerry didn’t speak for the administration, offering perhaps a pointed dig at the fact that Kerry issued a joint statement with Pakistani officials that was billed as a joint US-Pakistan statement (administration officials insist this was Kerry freelancing).
Remember just a few short months ago when Kerry was supposedly being groomed as Hillary’s replacement as Secretary of State?
Now he’s called a freelancer. A loose cannon. A gigolo who marries wealthy women for their money.
Well, actually, that last one had nothing to do with this story, but we always like to throw it in.
Yeah, that Cairo speech is really paying some handsome dividends now. Barack Obama is beloved as the President of the World and John Kerry is a highly respected international diplomat.
They love ‘em some Barack Obama and some John Kerry in the Muslim world. Yeah, that Cairo speech is really paying some handsome dividends now. Obama is beloved as the President of the World and Kerry is a highly respected international diplomat. Together they …
What’s that? It’s not a statue? The Pakistanis are hanging them in effigy?
If we were John Kerry, we’d want to make sure that no one in the audience has any tomatoes. But the haughty, vaguely French-looking Massachusetts Democrat is more concerned that there are no tomatoes backstage when he speaks.

Yahoo.com has the demanding details:
Musicians aren’t the only ones with demands. Even politicians, like former presidential candidate, Senator John Kerry, have them. But while Kerry’s rider outlines specific dishes like “Szechwan string beans” as must-haves, perhaps more interesting is what he omits. “NEVER order: Tomato based products OR sandwiches,” Kerry’s rider explicitly said, which is made all the more humorous by the fact that his wife became wealthy from the $550 million she took away from her first marriage to the heir to the Heinz fortune.
“Yes, lovey, the Szechwan string beans are fabulous tonight. This is precisely how I had Bao Mihn prepare them when I was in Vietnam. Have I ever mentioned that I served in Vietnam?”
Kerry is the last person who should be lecturing the American people on paying taxes, considering his embarrassing episode from July of this year when he got caught weaseling out of $500,000 in taxes on his new $7,000,000 yacht.
The media has been feeding us a non-stop parade of Democrats to stress the importance of the entitlement-funding class warfare they attempt to disguise as a tax increase.
For this purpose, Meet the Press host David Gregory brought on John Kerry.
Kerry is the last person who should be lecturing the American people on paying taxes, considering his embarrassing episode from July of this year when he got caught weaseling out of $500,000 in taxes on his new $7,000,000 yacht. To avoid his home state’s taxes, Kerry docked his new toy in neighboring Rhode Island. The ensuing public relations debacle caused Kerry to snap at reporters who questioned the dodge, and in the end, release a statement claiming he would dock in Massachusetts and pay his taxes. In other words, the light went on, the cockroach scurried. (Side note: According to many news sources, Kerry still hasn’t paid this tax. Gee, who’d have figured?)
Without a hint of irony this is the man David Gregory chose to lecture us on paying taxes.
And without a hint of journalistic integrity Gregory failed to ask Kerry about why he felt qualified to do so after getting busted avoiding his own.
Be sure to tune in next week, when David will welcome Bill Clinton to preach about the sanctity of marriage and monogamy.
Following the successful debut of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” agents representing other politicians are rushing to Hollywood to pitch reality shows for their clients.
Few original ideas have ever been generated in Hollywood and even fewer have ever come from Washington, DC. The two towns were made for each other.

We’re pretty sure the state of Massachusetts would take cash, check, money order or credit card, but it’s been three months and deadbeat John Kerry still hasn’t paid the taxes on his $7,000,000 yacht.
We’re pretty sure the state of Massachusetts would take cash, check, money order or credit card, but it’s been three months and deadbeat John Kerry still hasn’t paid the taxes on his $7,000,000 yacht.
John Kerry seems baffled by the concept of paying the taxes he expects others to pay
The Boston Herald has all the taxing details:
You may recall that Kerry lowered the flag and surrendered in July, agreeing to pony up more than $400,000 to cover state taxes on the toney tub. Mr. Teresa Heinz broke out the checkbook four days after the Track set off a furious tempest with our report that he had purchased the 76-foot floating palace and ported her in Rhode Island, thus depriving the commonwealth of its pound of flesh.
A spokesman for the state Department of Revenue confirmed that “a sales tax return was filed” by Kerry last summer to cover state taxes that would have been owed, had he kept the Isabel in his home state’s waters. But according to the Nantucket tax collector, he never paid any excise taxes to the town on the Isabel.
Penalties? Interest? We doubt it.
Because when you’re John Kerry, what’s good for thee is never good for me.
In case you were wondering why Democrats chances in November are beginning to look like Custer’s chances at the Little Big Horn, wonder no more. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has the answer:
In case you were wondering why Democrats chances in November are beginning to look like Custer’s chances at the Little Big Horn, wonder no more. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has the answer:
John Kerry is smarter than you. Just ask him.
Voters are friggin’ stupid.
“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,” Kerry told reporters after touring the Boston Medical Center yesterday.
You mean like “Yes We Can,” Senator?
Oh, we beg your pardon. We seem to have interrupted our intellectual superior while he was musing.
Kerry made the remarks on voters following questions about U.S. Rep Barney Frank’s re-election campaign and queries about securing federal funding for the Hub hospital.
“I think a lot of the anger today – while it’s appropriate because Washington is broken – is not directed at the right people,” said Kerry. “Barney is prepared, as others are, to explain what we’re doing. I think when people hear the facts and they see what we’re doing, it frankly makes sense.”
Sadly, Kerry is correct. We’re all stupid. If we were smarter, we would all marry rich, ugly widows one after another, which would allow us to wile away our lives living in big houses, sailing big yachts and shooting off our big mouths.
But it would take a really smart guy to figure out a devious scheme like that.
John Kerry is out there burnishing his liberal credentials by demanding that immigration agents be more “humane” while risking their lives arresting drug dealers and human traffickers.
We exaggerate, but not by much. John Kerry is out there burnishing his liberal credentials by demanding that immigration agents be more “humane” while risking their lives arresting drug dealers and human traffickers.
Politico.com has the details:
John Kerry wants to make sure immigration agents don't operate in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan
As Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano led a naturalization ceremony for more than 5,000 new Americans at Fenway Park, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) on Tuesday pitched a bill requiring federal authorities to take a more “humane” approach when enforcing immigration laws.
The “Families First Immigration Enforcement Act of 2010” calls for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to give state agencies advanced notice before an immigration raid so they can provide translators for the detainees.
The Kerry bill would also require ICE to check detainees to see if any should be released on the grounds that they are too sick, too old, pregnant or nursing, or fall under other vulnerable groups.
You know that the liberals will stretch the definition of “sick” until it includes the common cold. “Oops. Can’t arrest Jose. He says he feels a scratchy throat coming on.”
Don’t let Sugar Mama find out about this. John Kerry was for tax cuts for the rich before he was against them. Flip, meet flop.
Don’t let Sugar Mama find out about this. John Kerry was for tax cuts for the rich before he was against them.
Flip, meet flop.
The New York Post has the details:
John Kerry made his money the old-fashioned way - by marrying a rich, unattractive widow
Last week, the member of the Senate Finance Committee told the Boston Globe, “Under no circumstances do I believe we should give a blanket extension to the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans — it won’t fix our economy and it will add billions to the long-term structural deficit.”
But in a late July committee meeting, Kerry said he would support a one- to two-year extension of the Bush tax cuts for the rich, if it was part of a bill that also extended middle-class cuts for a longer period, according to person familiar with the situation.
As it happens, that is precisely an idea that committee Chairman Max Baucus of Montana is floating, the person said.
Kerry spokeswomen declined to comment on whether he supported a limited extension.
For them in July. Against them in September. Definitely for them again on April 15.
Once a quitter, always a quitter. Once a hypocrite, always a hypocrite. Once a putz, always a putz.
"Lurch, reporting for duty."
“They have personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscint of Genghis Kahn, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside….”
That’s how John Kerry described American troops in testimony before Congress after he returned from Vietnam, but it he could just as easily use the same words today to describe the Taliban, the cruel, vicious enemy with whom he now wants to negotiate.
The Hill has the story of Kerry’s hypocrisy:
Sen. John Kerry, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Friday that there is a “very active” effort under way to reach a negotiated political settlement with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Kerry (D-Mass.) acknowledged that “efforts” have begun after visiting Afghanistan and Pakistan this week, meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and other officials.
“I can report without being specific that there are efforts under way. They are serious and I completely agree with that fundamental premise — and so does General [David] Petraeus and so does President Obama — there is no military solution,” he told NPR. “And there are very active efforts now to seek an appropriate kind of political settlement.”
…Kerry said that any “appropriate” settlement would have to include “a renunciation of al-Qaeda,” a “reduction of violence,” a “recognition of the constitutional rights of both Pakistan and Afghanistan and greater efforts to reduce sanctuaries for insurgency.”
Once a quitter, always a quitter. Once a hypocrite, always a hypocrite. Once a putz, always a putz.
This is hilarious. The esteemed Senator John Kerry, the tax-dodging senior senator from Massachusetts, was mobbed by reporters who insisted on asking impertinent questions about his new $7,000,000 luxury yacht and why he hasn’t paid the Commonwealth of Massachusetts the pound of flesh he’s so quick to demand of the little people.

Looking like a cornered rat, he finally turned to his driver and spoke the immortal words he first uttered in Vietnam, “Can you get me out of here, please?”
The only thing missing was a flesh wound on the ass. And when we say “ass”, we are, of course, referring to the senior senator himself.
The flotsam that was once John Kerry’s liberal reputation is washing away with every detail that comes out about his luxurious new $7,000,000 yacht. Now, at a time when New England shipyards are suffering depression-like conditions, Kerry had his yacht built in New Zealand.
The very patriotic John Kerry flies the American flag on his New Zealand-built yacht
The flotsam that was once John Kerry’s liberal reputation is washing away with every detail that comes out about his luxurious new $7,000,000 yacht. Now, at a time when New England shipyards are suffering depression-like conditions, Kerry had his yacht built in New Zealand.
The Boston Herald, Kerry’s hometown newspaper, has the details:
“Darn, that would have been a wonderful job for a Maine builder,” said Jane Wellehan, president of the trade group Maine Built Boats. “If someone comes to build a $7 million boat that would employ half the population of some towns for a year or two. Boat building is such a critical component of our coastal economy.”
Gregory Egan, who owns the Crosby Yacht Yard in Osterville, said Bay State boat builders must feel cut adrift by Kerry as well.
“I’m confident that anything constructed in New Zealand could be constructed here in the state,” he said. “From a political perspective, it seems to me he could have thought twice about that one.”
News that Kerry was docking the 76-foot custom-built sloop in Newport, R.I., was first reported in the Herald Friday. Sources told the Herald the yacht cost $7 million, meaning Kerry would owe the state more than $500,000 in excise and sales taxes.
The Isabel has two VIP main cabins, a glossy teak interior and a wet bar and wine storage in the pilothouse. It is billed as a “departure from the norm in the opulent world of yachting” and designed to be piloted without a crew.
With the nation enduring a nasty economy, painful joblessness and extreme belt-tightening, word of the luxury yacht’s foreign construction – as Americans yearn for work – could create a political tempest for Kerry.
“The message is, ‘The American boat builders aren’t good enough, and the Massachusetts people aren’t good enough to maintain it.’ It’s just a bad message all around,” said Connecticut boater Steve Potter, who docks in Charlestown.
In Kerry’s defense, he did attempt to make it up to American ship builders last week by voting to extend their unemployment benefits.
Sen. John Kerry, who has repeatedly voted to raise taxes while in Congress, dodged a whopping six-figure state tax bill on his new multimillion-dollar yacht by mooring her in Newport, R.I.
Hypocritical John Kerry doesn't want to pay sales tax on his new $6,000,000 yacht.
Would a fine, upstanding liberal like John Kerry actually attempt to save $400,000 in taxes by mooring his new yacht in Rhode Island instead of the state in which he lives?
No, he’d never do that because that would be hypocritical. On second thought, that’s exactly what he’d do.
The Boston Herald headlines Mr. Heinz’ hypocrisy:
Sen. John Kerry, who has repeatedly voted to raise taxes while in Congress, dodged a whopping six-figure state tax bill on his new multimillion-dollar yacht by mooring her in Newport, R.I.
Isabel – Kerry’s luxe, 76-foot New Zealand-built Friendship sloop with an Edwardian-style, glossy varnished teak interior, two VIP main cabins and a pilothouse fitted with a wet bar and cold wine storage – was designed by Rhode Island boat designer Ted Fontaine.
But instead of berthing the vessel in Nantucket, where the senator summers with the missus, Teresa Heinz, Isabel’s hailing port is listed as “Newport” on her stern.
Could the reason be that the Ocean State repealed its Boat Sales and Use Tax back in 1993, making the tiny state to the south a haven – like the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and Nassau – for tax-skirting luxury yacht owners?
Cash-strapped Massachusetts still collects a 6.25 percent sales tax and an annual excise tax on yachts. Sources say Isabel sold for something in the neighborhood of $7 million, meaning Kerry saved approximately $437,500 in sales tax and an annual excise tax of about $70,000.
C’mon, we say cut Kerry a little slack. Do you have any idea how many bottles of ketchup you have to sell to make $400,000?
In case you haven’t yet rushed out to buy this week’s U.S. News, let us sum up John Kerry’s hypocritical comments for you: “We Democrats are doing a dandy job and you’re a hypocritical piece of commoner crap if you don’t appreciate us.”
Would you like a little ketchup with your hypocrisy?
In case you haven’t yet rushed out to buy this week’s U.S. News, let us sum up John Kerry’s hypocritical comments for you: “We Democrats are doing a dandy job and you’re a hypocritical piece of commoner crap if you don’t appreciate us.”
“We’ve come back,” he says of the nation, Wall Street, and the economy. “This is an amazing resurgence.”
It wasn’t a slam at the Tea Party movement and those upset at Washington as much as a frustration he feels that Congress and the president aren’t getting the credit he thinks they deserve for pulling the country out of a second depression.
“I think there’s a comprehension gap,” said Kerry. His point: While people may not be feeling the benefits of the bailouts and healthcare reform yet, Congress has been working with Obama to right the economic ship. Still, he sounded sympathetic to those kicked around by the economy. “There’s a sense of some things unraveling” to them, said Kerry.
But he said that the D.C.-directed attacks are hypocritical, since many of those attacking Washington spending presumably want to keep their Social Security and Medicare and want Washington to play a big role in the Gulf Oil cleanup. “There’s a huge contradiction on a daily basis,” he said.
Kerry really can’t figure out why the little people are upset. We’re pretty sure he’s thinking, “What’s the big deal? If you can’t find a job, just do what I did – pull yourself up by your bootstraps and marry a rich, recently-widowed heiress.”
There’s a reason this guy didn’t want to reveal his college transcripts. “I am working this 24-7, and these past 72 hours I can tell you it quite literally feels 24-7.”

The United States has already this year alone achieved a 6% reduction in emissions simply because of the downturn in the economy, so we are effectively saying we need to go another 14%.
The lovely Teresa Heinz Kerry and her second favorite condiment
Massachusetts Democrat Senator John Kerry may have the face of a horse, but he lacks horse sense.
The Massachusetts Democrat is backing Cap-and-Trade, a mindboggling waste of money designed to combat so-called global warming by slapping taxes on energy.
“Let me emphasize something very strongly as we begin this discussion,” Kerry said. “The United States has already this year alone achieved a 6% reduction in emissions simply because of the downturn in the economy, so we are effectively saying we need to go another 14%.
C’mon, America. Join John Kerry’s quest to achieve lower greenhouse gas emissions by sinking into a never-ending state of economic depression.
But, you may ask, how can the country survive when it’s unable to produce anything of any value?
Simple. We’ll do it the same way John Kerry does it. By marrying a homely, rich widow nation that will give us all the money we need.
Democrat Senator John Kerry, who’s never earned a cent of his own money and who lives extravagantly on money his wife didn’t earn, thinks he knows how to spend the money you earn better than you do.
There’s no doubt that the Senator is a highly-trained professional with years of experience spending other people’s money, whether it belongs to his wives or his constituents.
We miss John Kerry since he retreated to the shadows. His comments used to be good for at least a laugh a week.
