Well, if the photo of President Obama on the phone wearing mom jeans wasn’t enough to paralyze Putin with fear, Secretary of State John Kerry made the Sunday show rounds. Terrifying! Or, you know, absolutely absurd. Check out what he said on “Face the Nation”:
Kerry on Russia this a.m.: "That is not the act of somebody who is strong. That is the act of somebody who is acting out of weakness."

Um, what?
@jimgeraghty HAHAHA No, what did Kerry *really* say?

@jimgeraghty For realz?

Yep. It happened.
Combat Kerry: Putin invading Ukraine and act of weakness. You couldn't top this idiot if you tried, right Joe B.? http://t.co/3l4msQ3V1m

Truth. But to be fair, there is this:
Sec Kerry has some sympathy with Putin. He appreciates importance of having a strategic port after moving his yacht to RI to avoid sales tax

Bam! Here is some advice for Kerry from the great beyond:
The ghost of Neville Chamberlain just told John Kerry to sack up.

That smarts.
If only someone … anyone … had sounded a warning.
If only there was a political party warning us what Obama's policies on Russia, Obamacare, etc would lead to, this could've been prevented.
— Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) March 2, 2014
Sigh.
An exit summation:
Kerry today reaffirms everything about how right this country got it in 2004 & how wrong we got it on 2012.

Hard and frightening truth.
