Oh dear God, make it stop … [Darleen Click]

John Kerry goes to Paris to apologize; James Taylor tags along to confront Islamism with a song …

Under fire for being a no-show at the Paris March Against Terrorism, the Obama administration sent Secretary of State John Kerry to Paris today to give a “big hug” to the French.

In addition to expressing solidarity with the French people, Secretary Kerry brought singer James Taylor to play his 1970s hit song “You’ve Got A Friend” for the French.

… where the hell is Bluto when we need him?

    Well, of course, Truman preceded his ultimatum to Japan in 1945 with a set from the Andrews sisters, so there’s a precedent for “musical diplomacy.”

    And now, if you excuse me, I’m going to go set myself on fire.

  2. McGehee says:

    James Taylor? I am reminded of a Gallagher routine: “‘I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain.’ I’m telling you, this guy’s been around!”

  3. Parker says:

    We now need Jerry Lewis to host a telethon for all the Onion writers who will never work again…

    That old racist? whuffor?

  5. Darleen says:

    Parody is a dead as a Norwegian blue parrot.

  6. Parker says:

    It’s not dead – it’s just resting!

    Beautiful plumage…

  7. Smart diplomacy in action. We can tell that it’s smart, because they told us that they wouldn’t do stupid shit. So, even though this looks like some pretty stupid shit, it isn’t, by definition. QED, and some other Latin words, for good measure.

    Jeez, that Sarah Palin sure is stupid. Amirite?

  8. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I could have been worse. Kerry could have taken Randy Newman along.

  9. geoffb says:

    Thank god he just wanted some romantic music, hell it could have been Yoko Ono to commemorate Obama breaking up the West’s band.

  10. The Stupid, it burns, eh, Shermlaw?

  11. Bob Reed says:

    *sigh* more SMART POWER!11!1!

  12. […] A final comment from Shermlaw: […]

  13. geoffb says:

    Imagine my surprise to find that Kerry-Taylor fit perfectly.

    Give peas a chance.

  15. LBascom says:

    The DiploMad has a post up that is both timely and timeless.

    You bet I fear Islam. It is the first step to rational thought about Islam.

  16. McGehee says:

    Sorry, but no matter how hard I try I just can’t victualize whirled peas.

  17. bgbear says:

    with Hollande, “Short People” might be a better choice.

    OK, Francois is as tall as me but, next Lurch. . .

  18. epador says:

    Oh hell, McGehee, I’m ready to hurl pees! [at Kerry and Sweet Booby James].

    You know Carol King would have been there too but she was singing to the Obamas something about “You’ve got a Friend.”

  19. geoffb says:

    These are not terrorists, no really, I’m serious, these are the moderate, just-some-guys, in the Muslim neighborhood.

    That is why, “You bet I fear Islam. It is the first step to rational thought about Islam” is so correct. It’s not that the extremists are so extreme but that the average everyday Muslim of the world is so close to them in word and deed.

    the whore president of failmerica and his whore wife are right there with them

    so what does that make us

  21. geoffb says:

    And in moderate Pakistan…

    Pakistani police have clashed with crowds protesting over an image of the Prophet Muhammad published in French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

    The authorities used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the demonstration, near the French consulate in Karachi.

    The protest was part of a nationwide rally called by Jamaat-e-Islami*, the country’s largest Islamist party.
    […]
    Religious leaders openly called for journalists at the magazine to be hanged, and several religious groups called for protests after Friday prayers.

    *Islami Jamiat Talaba’s purpose is “To build the lives of human beings on the exact parameters of Allah’s orders and teachings of Muhammad to seek absolute obedience of Allah”

    The pre-printed signs show the work of a trained, community organized, group.

  22. geoffb says:

    Probably doesn’t make too much difference what with Obama as President there is likely very little that has not been “shared.”

  23. happyfeet says:

    i just hate that, how obama keeps kicking failshit america in the nuts and america just sits there like a foodstamper momo child what just saw a tasty bug crawl across the top of the xbox

  24. LBascom says:

    Yeah, Obamas fundamental transformation was basically making America into a Jackass movie.

    What George knew and now the Frenchies know.
