#1 And who do we have for SoS?

J. F'n Kerry and his magic hat.

I've never been so embarassed by the US government and I'm old enough to vaguely remember "I Like Ike" buttons.

#4 Steve W., while there may not be much that we can do that would be effective, we can keep our mouths shut about how we're trying to deal with Putin and mediate things. If there are things that might help we can keep quiet about them and not try and preen and prance for the audience.

#9 I could hardly imagine a more ineffective pair of empty suits in this situation. Preening narcissistic pricks.
