Kerry to meet with French president

2005-01-13

Does this man, like, live in the past, or what?

Sen. John Kerry will meet Friday with French President Jacques Chirac, U.S. and French officials said. The Massachusetts Democrat who lost the November election to incumbent President Bush has relatives in France and speaks French. Kerry's stop in Paris was part of a trip to Europe and the Middle East, the U.S. Embassy in Paris said Thursday. Kerry was also to meet with French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier. The senator's office in Washington did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

#9 I suspect a fraud -- this is the first MSM report to ever NOT mention Kerry's Vietnam service. Or is that a part of the rehabilitation?

#8 Obviously that should be If Mitt could beat Kerry, though like his dad, he might dend up beating himself.

#7 If Mitt could beat Romney, the WH wouldn't be far away. What a laugh if the only way Massachusetts could get a son to the presidency is by sending a Mormon Republican. You do have to give the Bay State credit for religious diversity.

#6 It's a shopping spree for Maria Tereza, most likely. Anyway, beats having to show up for votes on Capitol Hill

#5 looking toward his own political future?

Can't say he has much of a political future. He's been exposed as a do-nothing senator, a pompous, arrogant blowhard that Hollywood central casting would find impossible to improve on. That, and current MA governor Romney might take a shot at him when Kerry defends his Senate seat. I think he's beatable, even if it's Mass.

#4 OMFG, doesn't this guy have a handler to tell him that this might not look very good to the people back home? Kerry can obviously afford to buy his own Chateau Petrus '91 for himself (and probably the entire chateau as well); what does he think he is getting by meeting with this thief? Just self aggrandizement or looking toward his own political future?

#3 I thought the headline was "Kerry to Run For French President."

Would have made sense.

#2 Fly on the wall

Jacques: Jean, do you have any tips for how I am supposed to deal with someone like George Bush?

Jean: .........Ummm, not really. I just can't get over the fact that more Americans like and trust him more than they like and trust me. The world is going down the toilet.

Jacques-Oui. Americans are really rotten, aren't they?

Jean-Ouai.

Jacques-This has been a most illuminating visit. It is obvious that you should have won. Ah well, now that Bush has been re-elected, we will have to make sure that America really pays for it.

Jean-Well, we can't say we don't deserve it.
