The State Department is continuing its trend of total incompetence!
Tweets from Secretary Kerry are signed –JK (no, seriously)
— Doyle ? (@stdoyle) February 4, 2013
That’s right, new Secretary of State John Kerry will be tweeting using “JK.” But, to be fair, his confirmation hearing was a lovefest-filled joke. So, it stands to reason that all of his tweets will be signed “JK.” You see, JK means “just kidding” in Internet-speak.
Twitter users gasp for breath.
Haha. Senator Kerry's tweets from @StateDept will be signed "-JK"

If John Kerry's tweets are actually signed "-JK" how will we know when he's just making one of his famous witty jests?

Keep the mock-tastic tweets coming, Twitter. And speaking of “witty jests,” Kerry arrived at the State Department this morning.

Zing!
Way to start off your tenure, Secretary of State Kerry. Ah, if only the State Department would come out and say, “That whole Secretary of State Kerry thing? JK!”
Update: The mockery just keeps getting better and better.
