Kerry Takes Fire For Yachting During Egypt Crisis
Priorities
As the crisis in Egypt unfolded, a far more minor intrigue arose in Nantucket: Was Secretary of State John Kerry on a yacht Wednesday or not?
Briefly, he was, it turned out.
On Wednesday, a CBS News producer snapped a picture of a yacht and reported that the secretary was on board. The State Department initially called that report "completely inaccurate" but did not elaborate on Kerry's whereabouts, saying only that he was working all day and phoned in to a Situation Room meeting on Egypt that afternoon. …
"While he was briefly on his boat on Wednesday," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, "Secretary Kerry worked around the clock all day, including participating in the president's meeting with his National Security Council and calls with Norwegian Foreign Minister Eade, Qatari Foreign Minister al-Attiyah, Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoglu, Egyptian Constitution Party President ElBaradei and five calls to Ambassador Patterson on that day alone."

Regime Supporter/Destroyer Kerry:
“We fund those fuckers, they can handle it, why should I worry on a holiday weekend?”
I actually they would spend more time on the water and let the world burn without our money.
Replies Interventionist Kerry:
“There is plenty of time after the Holiday for no-fly zones, Navy Seal infiltrations, troop insertions or just outright threats of support or withdrawal of support. Fuck, we could just carpet bomb the entire country — or nuke Iran.”
Defund Leviathan.
I applaud that idea.

I don’t see the big deal. Kerry is rich enough that he probably has a fully staffed and functional situation room on his yacht.
Shit, I have to ask what is there to situate in the first place? Egyptians want to riot and break a couple of governments in two, that is there business. let the man enjoy his holiday.
I think it’s a good thing happening in Egypt.
The majority has always been, presently is, and most likely always will be wrong on the vast majority of issues all the time.
A lot of Egyptians don’t want to live in an Islamist theocracy. Good for them.
Fuck democracies. The Idea that a billion people should suffer hell just because a billion and one people think so is the most retarded form of barbarism there is.
We need to just stay out of their, and everyone else’s, business.
With the constant nagging of that fucking 57 varieties of Teresa, there is no peace on that swift boat.
John takes it out on the rest of the world!
Looks like the story from the court of Obozo has changed. Earlier, and I believe they were quotes, the spokes-life-form claimed he was attending meetings at the WH.
Now I don’t care where he is or was. In fact, given his general incompetence, it’d probably be better if they locked him on the boat and took his cel phone.
It would be nice, however, if just once the court of Obozo could issue a statement that wasn’t a sitnking LIE!
Obomba observes this as a kinetically fluid situation and he will support the changing situation on the ground and will back up the rioters and peaceful protesters and simultaneously support the military as well as supporting both Morsi and his “replacement”. John Kerry will French-kiss the generals and slip them a few billion in freshly-printed USDs. Obama will make no mistake, and will make himself clear about Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood in this manifold situation.
That’s GOOOOD!
Keep Ole Horse Face on the boat. Better yet, lock the whole Chocolate Jesus administration on the boat. The world will be much safer.
John Kerry, who owns a $7 million yacht, a $7 million Beacon Hill townhome, a $9 million ocean-front Nantucket home, a $5 million Idaho ski retreat, a $4 million estate in Pennsylvania, and a $5 million home in Georgetown, wants you to undergo mandatory lifestyle cutbacks to prevent CO2-induced bad weather
…Heinz and Kerry live an affluent life. They own a six-floor, $7 million townhome in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood, a $9 million ocean-front home on Nantucket, a $5 million ski retreat in Idaho, a $4 million estate in Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania near the Heinz family’s home base of Pittsburgh, and a $5 million home in Washington, D.C.’s Georgetown neighborhood….
MA Sen. John Kerry Puts his $7 million yacht in Rhode Island, Avoids MA Boat Tax
Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is docking his family’s new $7 million yacht in neighboring Rhode Island, allowing him to avoid paying roughly $500,000 in taxes to the cash-strapped Bay State. Its ironic because these are the same kind of taxes from which Kerry is paid to represent the people of Massachusetts….
And to think all he had to do was fuck a crazy bitch. We might as well have Secretary of State and former Senator Tom Arnold instead. Hell, who wouldn’t prefer that?
Things are bad enough already without bringing more Hollywood into the mess.
