Kerry's aircraft grounded ... again

2014-10-17

[ARABNEWS] Globe-trotting top US diplomat John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
was left hoofing it back on a commercial flight from Vienna Thursday, after his ageing Air Force plane broke down for the fourth time this year.

After marathon talks on Iran's nuclear program in the Austrian capital Wednesday, Kerry's party of more than 40 State Department staff and journalists were checking out of their hotel rooms before dawn Thursday when the news came that his Boeing 757 needed unspecified repairs -- again.

#9 tu, I'm sure JFK has enough pull to get everyone in first class kicked off the flight. Anyone who resisted can stand by for an audit in the near future.

#7 Jawnny had to fly commercial? Oh, I'll bet that frosted his patrician ass. I only hope that first class was booked up too so he had to sit with the great unwashed in the back.

#3 AlanC you can't put the blame on Jawn for this one. Once a T. Rex starts knawing on a engine they are difficult to stop.

#1 any story about JF'nK and an airplane makes me think of Calvin sitting in a box making jet noises.

Nothing but a deranged child with a vivid imagination.
