On the day of the Mayan apocalypse, John Kerry now in line of succession to the presidency

On the day of the Mayan apocalypse, John Kerry now in line of succession to the presidency

With the nomination of John Kerry to become secretary of state, our line of succession to the presidency almost makes the North Koreans look good.

Make sure nothing is in your mouth but keep a stiff drink nearby as you behold this rogues gallery of they who are mere heartbeats from the Oval Office (in order):

• Vice President Joe “BFD” Biden

• Speaker John “Boo Hoo” Boehner

• President pro tem of the Senate Pat “Leaky” Leahy

• John “I was for it before I was against it” Kerry

• Treasury Secretary Tim “Turbo Tax” Geithner

• Secretary of Defense Leon “Benghazi?” Panetta

• Attorney General Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder

And on it goes.  If it’s true that a nation gets the leaders it deserves, how wretched does that make us?

You’ve got Kerry and Leahy reversed.

Picking nits, but I would offer, that till confirmed Kerry get bupkis in line of succession.

There are those who love democracy immoderately, who aren’t self-governed. They rely on the “elites” to guide them. The list of “elites” above reveals the willful ignorance of the many.

If Kerry was born a Mayan they would have killed him instantly or at the very latest 3 because his head is too frighteningly big.

Even if he was a Conquistidor no way would they have let him marry their Bean Queen .

Kerry’s appointment is consistent with the mentality of this group.

The Obama-Biden Campaign website is still raising money–even though the campaign is over.

If you look at the campaign site, they are now using his Newtown CT speech as a fundraising tool. If you want to listen to the speech, both above and below it are donation tabs.

Only this administration would try to raise money off the murder of 20 school children–and, apparently, without any criticism.

That is how low they have set the bar. Kerry fits right in.

John F’n Kerry(I was in RVN) in line to the Presidency. Just shoot me now.

It’s called catastrophe insurance.

If anything happens, it’s sure to be a catastrophe.

I think that’s exactly right. Given how clearly dumb Joe Biden is, there is no way anyone would want him as the #2 except as impeachment insurance. Obama is – or ought to be – unimpeachable for the duration.

There is only one answer: pray for Obama’s good health.

    Yes, I realize this is going to get me thumbs-down. Take it as a wry and sleep-deprived wit:

    To be completely morbid, pray for Obama and Biden to die in a common disaster (as I’m sure the Leftists were for Bush and Cheney to when Pelosi was speaker). The weeper is at least marginally better than the Marxist-Leftist and the Plagiarizer.

Whatta revolting development… Wm Bendix aka Life of Riley

When’s the next flight to the moon? Oh wait, all that’s been cancelled..

Were Hillary on the list, do you think we would see a sudden rash of brake failures and suicides, a la White Water?

    Hillary WAS on the list. She’s been third in line (after VP and Speaker) since confirmed.

    Now maybe nothing happened to Obama and Biden because it would have put “Queen Bee” Pelosi in the big chair first (which would have destroyed Clinton’s “historic” narrative). After the 2010 election though, maybe she finally just thought better of it and that people wouldn’t believe “mysterious circumstances” schtick twice.

I wrote an entire post on the very subject that we were all about to get the government that the people of Virginia, Ohio and Florida deserve.

He will run Foggy Bottom in a manner reminiscent of … Barney Fife.

The EOTW?

Four more years?

I’m thinking! I’m thinking!

    For those of you who aren’t Jack Benny fans, Jack Benny played being a complete miser…

    There’s one of his gags where he’s accosted by a robber who says “Your money or your life!” There’s silence, then the robber says “Well???” and Jack Benny replies, “I’m thinking! I’m thinking!”

I’m thinking Snooki is starting to sound pretty good.

At least Boehner is better than Pelosi.

Pelosi is living proof that botox penetrates the blood-brain barrier.

Why are we even discussing this? If it’s not plainly obvious to anyone with a brain, this country is a world of hurt that has been caused by our own self-indulgence and lack of foresight. Our culture is disintigrating before our eyes, and we blindly go along thinking what else can we do. It’s time for some civil disobedience imho. Tell the tax collectors what you think the next time they ask you if you have health insurance.

He’s not in line YET.

We can turn the tables on this fraud, just like we did with Susan Lice.

We might be at the tipping point — karma has finally hit, and the Obama zombies are finally getting a reality check:

If Obama wanted a legacy, he has one now.

It used to be that the Ambassador to Lichtenstein was sort of a patronage position. Now it’s the Secretary of State.

Then again, if Hillary was qualified Kerry certainly is. I mean, at least he’s travelled a bit prior to his appointment. He’s been to Vietnam, hasn’t he?

    K: Yep, the Useless-Feckless Kerry did visit Vietnam for
    3-months 43-F’ing YEARS ago. Are we not Blessed? However, the upside is that the Senator for Life will be OUT of the Senate. That I truly love.

    My Gawd, Leaky Leahy is President Pro-Tem of the Senate??!! That one had escaped me. NOW I AM SCARED.

    Oh, and Joel, not one of those Losers do I deserve,’Yo.

Out of that bunch, aside from Boehner, and if you had to have a Democrat, Penetta wouldn’t be bad. As Clinton’s first Budget Director, he joined with Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentson in pushing for serious deficit reduction, taking on the pro-spending crowd. And he was a key player in many of the better Clinton policy initiatives, including welfars reform (it was not all about Dick Morris). More recently, as CIA Director and SecDef, he was one of the few in Obama’s senior policy-making group who showed real toughness, standing up for his CIA officers, supporting the Afghan surge, and vastly expanding the drone operations and CIA’s paramilitary capabilities. As SecDef, he’s warned strongly against the sequester. Can’t blame Obama’s policy failures equally on every Democrat.

Not one statesman in the whole bunch. Wow!!! How quickly has this country fallen.
