"You have fantastic shoes, Mr President."
John "Shoes" Kerry took his traveling road show to Cairo, where he implored Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi to be a good little boy.

"Kerry said that the U.S. would not pick sides in Egypt, and he appealed to all sides to come together around human rights, freedom and speech and religious tolerance."
Blah blah blah, woof woof woof, quack quack quack.
But here's good news for you tax-payers: The Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund.

So much for that sequester.
Not known from the news account is if "Shoes" ever really took up the case for the persecuted Coptic Christians or denounced that outrageous court sentence of death for Americans involved in that dopey video.
Meanwhile, there were protests against Kerry's visit in Cairo (Hat tip Frontpage Magazine)

Do you think this guy is going to be a strong advocate for the US?
Nigel Farage should be the Prime Minister of England.
ReplyDeleteNation states are the antithesis of left wing internationalists' utopian dream of a world without borders, nations, religions, and ethnic conflicts. Yet by their policies, they make all these things worse. There are still border conflicts, genocides carried out in the name of one particular religion, and more ethnic conflicts within European countries, also primarily due to the same religion.
Strong advocate?
ReplyDeleteCompare to a story related by Gal Beckerman author of a recent history of the campaign to free Soviet Jewry, " Every time Gorbachev would walk into a meeting with Reagan by the mid 80's the first thing Reagan would do would be to pull out a piece of paper with the names of Soviet Jews who had been refused visas or had somehow sent to prison for their activism and he said, "Well, if you want to talk, first we have to discuss these names."
