(9,688 posts)Irresponsible, lying, unbelievably irritating POS. Oh, and a warmonger, too. Another Republican candidate who would reinstate sanctions on Day One in the White House.

(9,688 posts)Kerry, Moniz and Jack Lew now answering questions.
A first-class, effective and authoritatively knowledgeable team.
First questioner is Ben Cardin, who is supportive.
Not looking forward to questions from Corker et al. (As you could predict, Corker's intro monologue was infuriating. )
Is Menendez not there today? Is he still suspended pending queries into his fund-raising irregularities?
YvonneCa
(10,117 posts)...clear and to the point. Excellent job, Mr. Kerry!

MBS
(9,688 posts)and doing his neocon thing.
Just like the Republicans whose views he so embarrassingly parrots, he can't pronounce "nuclear" either. Plus, he's rude, too. Color me mightily unimpressed and very irritated.
MBS
(9,688 posts)The worst of the worst. Kerry's facial expressions are priceless.

Do ALL Republicans pronounce "nuclear" as "nucular"?
So far in this hearing there seems to be almost 100% correlation between "nucular" and Republican persuasion. (oops, Cory Gardner, the Colorado Republican senator just said it right ("nuclear" . . so there are some exceptions)
Only Democrat so far that I've heard mispronounce "nuclear" is Menendez. . but, given his neocon POV, maybe that still supports the correlation between hawkish views and inability to speak English.

(92,394 posts)and the pea-sized brains of the republicans in the Senate seem to have a comprehension problem because the IDIOTS keeps asking the same bullshit questions
MBS
(9,688 posts)("nuclear" = correct; "NUCULAR" = incorrect). (Now I see the problem: the stupid "autocorrect" keeps "correcting" my deliberately misspelled words . . )
And yes, you're right: the REAL problem is their comprehension problem and their idiotic, clueless questions, often based on deliberate misrepresentation of the facts.
Kerry et al are doing a beautiful job answering the questions .
