John Kerry is merely the patsy that was left holding the bag when it all went to pieces.

Just to be clear about this.
RCP: “Secretary of State John Kerry explains why there are not any penalties for countries that do not respect the climate agreement made in Paris yesterday.”
…Do we need to even continue, here? I mean, really. Further comment is pretty much superfluous. (Via Hot Air Headlines)
Because that’s what State does, these days.
As the number of Israelis murdered during a streak of Palestinian terrorism continues to rise, the Obama administration sought to equate the sides and told reporters that, in its view, Israel is guilty of terrorism.
“Individuals on both sides of this divide are—have proven capable of, and in our view, are guilty of acts of terrorism,” State Department Spokesman John Kirby told reporters following questions about the spike in violence.

How do you KNOW that David Axelrod didn’t rip me off?
Point.
Bernie’s huge crowds recall Howard Dean’s in ’04 when he rallied “Democratic wing of Democratic Party.” Dean was impactful, but Kerry won.

Counterpoint.
@davidaxelrod I thought it was George W. Bush who won.

Basically, the State Department announced that they’d be releasing all of the Hillary Clinton emails that they have at the beginning of next year. Admittedly, a federal judge is having none of that, but never mind that right now. You see, Hot Air is questioning the timing:
January of 2016? Could it have come at a worse time? The official beginning of the primaries will be only weeks away, and by that point in time even Hillary will have had to have started answering some questions, making public appearances and talking to reporters. If they’d all just been dumped this winter she might have been able to file any unpleasant results under the “old news” category as she and her husband usually do, but this schedule promises some fresh meat just as the election is heating up on a national level.
If John Kerry were seriously considering another run at the White House I’d almost think that he planned this release date himself for maximum damage.
Continue reading So, why *did* John Kerry pick January 2016 to roll out the Clinton emails?
I kind of agree, kind of disagree.
The more one watches the coverage of Mrs Clinton, the more it becomes apparent that it won’t be the serious scandals – the Benghazis or the private email account – that will matter. Rather, the much greater danger is that she could become a joke.
Unlike Barack Obama’s early days, Mrs Clinton isn’t viewed as “off limits” to the entertainment and media worlds. And unlike her husband, former president Bill Clinton, Mrs Clinton must get elected in a world where conservative websites and citizen journalists with camera phones are ubiquitous.

Not that I particularly object to the Democrats holding off on publishing what was essentially a political hack job against the last President, but…
Secretary of State John Kerry personally phoned Dianne Feinstein, chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Friday morning to ask her to delay the imminent release of her committee’s report on CIA torture and rendition during the George W. Bush administration, according to administration and Congressional officials.
Kerry was not going rogue — his call came after an interagency process that decided the release of the report early next week, asFeinstein had been planning, could complicate relationships with foreign countries at a sensitive time and posed an unacceptable risk to U.S. personnel and facilities abroad. Kerry told Feinstein he still supports releasing the report, just not right now.

Dang. Lost half the crowd, right there. Well, it’s to be expected.
…anyway, the article has the headline Brent Budowsky: Kerry as Churchill…
