Kerry jokes that his own speeches cure his jet lag

As a former presidential candidate, globe-trotting lawmaker, and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator John Kerry already is a frequent flier.

But nothing he’s done before will prepare him for the travel he will undertake if, as expected, he’s confirmed as secretary of state later this month.

Comments

That this fraud could be a senator and Sec. of State shows that God has a huge sense of humor.

Unlike your huge personal accomplishments? But your belief that God has a role in the Senator's achievements pretty much says it all. Wait....that was irony, wasn't it? I get it now. Sorry....

Is some Globie with a self-professed sense of wit writing a headline that asserts, straight out, that Sen. John F. Kerry, the ostensibly almost Secretary of State, is so boring as a speaker that he puts himself to sleep?  How dare such be said of a guy who has carried for years the Herald Howie Carr-instilled nickname, 'Liveshot".
