Tehran John

Via Fox:

Sen. John Kerry has filed a formal request to visit Iran, Iranian news agencies reported Tuesday -- news made public in the middle of the government's bloody crackdown on dissidents that has left more than a dozen dead. 

While representatives for Kerry have so far not confirmed whether he intends to travel to Tehran, a spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry said the country's parliament is already considering the Massachusetts Democrat's official overture.

Go on John querry boy, leave, maybe we will get lucky and he'll be the second round of hostage for the next revolution. Or maybe they will just keep him, I damn sure don't want this traitor back on my soil, that's right it mine, mine, mine.

one way????

Seriously, though - with what's going on over there, no way no how should any representative of the United States (official or self-imagined) be conferring any sort of legitimacy on the mullahs of Iran.

Perhaps he can bore them to death.

Even as I read this article a news headline is scrolling across the top of my screen saying "Iran police promise to crush demonstrations without mercy." Maybe John-boy wants a front-row seat.

...and what would happen if Iran captured this fool?
And they demanded a ransom or something else?
(This is rhetorical question...)

Maybe he can take jane with him , we might get rid of two traiters at the same time

The "Ransom of Red Chief" jokes write themselves.

Sorry to say it, but what with the imminent threat of a nuclear Iran and Kerry's plans, it's starting to sound a little like Munich, 1938.

Ret. Marine| 12.31.09 @ 7:39AM

Ms. Robinson, you may be onto something here. Let's keep track of this little marxist minion, shall we?
