#1 At least we knew where he was and what he was doing.

#2 And he could do little damage from the boat. I hope. Wonder if he has paid the taxes on the boat yet, he was dodging them a while back, rules being for the little people.

#3 A lot of rules are on the books -

- To allow the rich to keep that they have.

- To keep the value of what they have by denying it to others. [Cause if everyone else had it, it wouldn't have value to the display hierarchical ascendency]

#4 What with satellite phones and video conferencing, the need to be in the SoS office at Foggy Bottom isn't necessary.

That the State Department lied and then sequentially engaged in parsed damaged control creates some really bad optics ranging from the reflexive-political, to sheer incompetence, to deliberate avoidance of the Egypt situation.

#5 Yeah Pappy, I don't get. All the press secretary had to say was that Jahwn was in touch with the White House the entire time he was on his boat. That's what a Bluetooth headset is for, right?

What it really, really illustrates is how unnecessary Jahwn is. But we knew that.

#6 the optics of Kerry yachting were bad. Jen Psaki - only the latest in a long Obama-era line of Lying Spokesholes - reached for a facile lie for no reason as Pappy notes above. It's standard practice these chronic liars

#7 What it really, really illustrates is how unnecessary Jahwn is

I don't know if 'unnecessary' is the right term, unless it's applied from the administration's standpoint. There are a few others in this administration that one could name, that are in the same boat.

#8 Now we know why Egypt wasn't burnt to the ground.

#9 Another reason is cement and dirt don't burn well.

#11 yeah. I don't wish her ill, but he's probably out shopping for the next rich wife already.

#12 under Obamacare, I'm sure she'll voluntarily undergo the same level of treatment us proles would get. .....right?
