Essay by Eric Worrall
h/t Dr. Willie Soon, Gateway Pundit; It’s all such a big joke to these people.
I’m not totally against doing my bit for the planet. So here’s my compromise offer to greens. I promise that in my lifetime I will never fly as many private jet airmiles as climate hero John Kerry and his family.
I can do better. I promise to fly fewer than half the private jet airmiles flown by John Kerry.
Big White House party, then why the long faces?
They were born that way, it’s a type of fetal alcohol syndrome involving excess consumption of ketchup.
Kerry did not come from money. He married it. The second Mrs. Kerry is the source of the big bucks. She got the money by inheritance from from her first husband Heinz who died in an airplane crash before she started being involved with Kerry. Vanessa and her sister Alexandra are Kerry’s children by his first marriage. They were teenagers when Kerry and Mrs.K#2 married. K#2 had three sons from the her marriage to Heinz. They will most like be the heirs of the Ketchup money. K#2 is said to have a drinking problem.
The sad thing is that the first Mr. Heinz was a solid Republican. I’m sure he’s spinning in his grave to think that the money he made is now being used to support useless Democrats.
He has a perpetual “horse face”. 🙂
The $700 haircuts only help a little.
I claim net zero
When I think bad things about George W. Bush, I remember who he was running against, Gore and Kerry. Compared to either, GW was brilliant..
We dodged a bullet to the heart!
(Just escaped with just a flesh wound.)
GW is going to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the start of the World Series tonight. I’m guessing he will keep it to the right side.
It bounced short of the plate and on his right, but the left side of the plate.
I hope I can throw that well when I’m 77.
Bush got the ball across the plate in 2001.
Maybe his shoulder joint is hurting him a little now. Not uncommon in a old guy.
Yes, if Gore or Kerry had been elected, we would have a disaster similar to the one we are having now with Biden.
Radical Democrats like these guys are not fit to govern the United States, as history shows.
Bush 1, Bush 2, Dole, McCain, Romney.
The GOP is not serious about saving our country from the the radical left.
Deep state scum vs. deep state scum. Who wins? Certainly not We The People.
The GOP just selected the usual left wing suspects as debate moderators. The never ending facade.
I think I have to agree. Many of the Republicans would rather see a second Biden term rather than a second Trump term or RFK junior. If you are not anointed by the system then heaven and earth will (as is) be moved to prevent it.
n.b. I recall that Republicans talked a lot about excessive government spending back in the 1990s. Clinton (probably by luck) bequeathed them budget surpluses such that the bankers and pension funds were starting to squeal. They were terrified that the fiscal debt might disappear, leaving them no guaranteed income from Govt Bonds.
That would have meant that they might have to go out and actually do a good job of investing in the real world.
When the Republicans got back into power they seemed to take the approach that “Hell, we’d better spend all this money before the Democrats get another chance to do so.”
Newt Gingrich’s forced welfare reforms (workfare) and the end of the cold war allowed for the balanced budgets, NOT Clinton.
Gingrich and the Republicans balanced the budget and Clinton signed off on it.
We haven’t had a balanced budget since that time.
The new Republican House members say they are going to go back to reining in the budget. That’s going to be difficult with a radical Democrat as president.
At least Clinton was smart enough to see the writing on the wall, and went along with Gingrich to reform the budget. I don’t think Biden is that smart.
I think the Republican House should insist on Biden shutting down the wide-open U.S. borders, as one of the first things they do, using whatever pressure they can muster. Wide-open borders are an existential threat to the United States. It’s time to play hardball with the radical Democrats.
2019: Asked by a reporter there if the private jet was an “environmental way to travel,” Kerry looked like he thought the question was beneath him.
“It’s the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle,” said Kerry
Kerry’s point is that anyone who would take a commercial flight (or, I suppose, any form of public transportation) is not someone like him. Someone like him is special. Someone like him deserves to fly and travel how and when he pleases because someone like him says the right things in public.
I detest such elite, self-righteous snobs.

That sounds like a description of leftwing billionaires.
That’s why they spend all that money trying to brainwash the rest of us into looking at things the way they do.
I think it goes a lot further down than the billionaires.
Many people making laws, and setting the reporting tone, on making fuel and electricity so expensive that people have to choose between food and winter heating do not live in the same world.
They can afford to virtue signal about global boiling because food and heating costs only take up a small fraction of their disposable income.
Oligarchs is the term you are looking for

Left Wing Billionaires
Gawain doesn’t ride in on some old strawberry roan.
True but his brother, Sir Gareth of Orkney, wasn’t above washing the pots in the kitchen to earn his position rather than inheriting or marrying into it.
Here’s to Sir Gareth of Orkney.
So who plays The Green Knight then?
Bertilak?
The other Gawain story is the Quest for the Holy Grail. He never finds it because he is unworthy – and knows it.
The Vatican sells Absolution Certificates, to offset any sins regarding excessive CO2.
That way, Kerry’s conscience remains in his version of lalaland, somewhere up there, away from all the rag-tag, riff raff.
I’ve always assumed that as long as I maintained a carbon footprint lower than the mean between Leo DiCaprio and John Kerry, I was the superior human being.
That’s not hard to do. You could drive a tank to work each day and still come out on top.
It’s a tossup between Gore and Kerry as to who’s the more useful idiot.
I think you meant useless.
Only if you mean that they are useless to us here in the West; they are very useful idiots to the Chinese and Russians. Makes you think, with some of our leaders today, that ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ was a documentary.
My god she’s even dumber than her father. I am making it my life’s work to produce as much CO2 as I can but I’m limited as I only drive.
She clearly takes after her father.
Poor thing.
Take heart, old Chap. You also breathe. If only the conservamentalists would realise that they could stop the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere overnight if they were all to Just Stop Breathing.
Lurch lurched. His daughter lurched. Par for the course.
I’ll never forget a rally in downtown Chicago that I went to for Al Gore when he was running for President. I wasn’t an Al Gore supporter. I heard about the rally on the radio news, and I went to the rally out of curiosity and for the experience. In the middle of the day the police had streets blocked off for block around the rally. Traffic was all backed up with hundreds of idling cars and trucks. For security they had helicopters in the sky above the rally. They had massive, amplified speakers that could be heard blocks away. (My ears were ringing for a good hour after I left. I wondered if I had suffered permanent ear damage.) They had thousands of people on their lunch hour or just ditching work. They had a security detail around the stage that I imagine probably traveled with Al Gore from city to city. I remember thinking to myself that in this one single rally, Al Gore had probably put more carbon dioxide into the air and had probably burned more gasoline and oil than I will in my entire life. And that was just one rally. Yeah, he was a great environmentalist.
This would appear to be nothing more than another blantly misogynistic post on this website. Here is the relevant section from the gateway pundit:
“The three posed for photos and headed to the dinner when a reporter shouted a question about climate change.
John Kerry’s pompous (and homely) daughter turned around and lectured the reporter on climate change.
“Is Australia playing its part when it comes to climate change?” the reporter asked.
“Everybody needs to be playing a huge part in climate change now…” Kerry’s daughter said to the Australian reporter as she walked away.”
Firstly note the insult about her apperance. Then in what way is responding to a question asked by a reporter “lecturing”. And the response is so bland as to be meaningless. Saying that everybody needs to play a role in combating climate change is hardly lecturing anybody.
For starters, Australia could promise to match any percentage change in CO2 emissions made by China.
That would show that Australia’s national leadership are very intelligent people. Don’t hold your breath.
“ “Everybody needs to be playing a huge part in climate change now,”
So Izzy agrees she was talking arrant nonsense… just like her father does.
NOBODY needs to do anything except combat the AGW/nut zero anti-CO2 scam agenda to the best of their resources.
Wouldn’t you agree Izzy.!… or would you just continue to whinge and whine. !
I doubt izzy knows what he is saying. He just knows that he needs to say something.
And there was just one comment about “long faces” and hereditary features.
No misogyny…. . just in your tiny leftist mind.
Maybe you would like to drag up a “racist” card somehow !
Is saying John Kerry has a horseface, an attack on all males?
No, it just applies to John Kerry.
The word homely was not reproduced here on WUWT, Izaak Walton, unless it has been edited without admission.
The word was used in the report at The Gateway Pundit.
The author was Christina Laila, a woman.
Good points. 🙂
“Saying that everybody needs to play a role in combating climate change is hardly lecturing anybody.”
OF COURSE IT IS!
Yes. It is lecturing everybody.
So the description shouldn’t just be pompous. It should be pompous hypocrite.
Well you’re right. It’s worse than lecturing.
Lecturing or hypocritical? Deflection?
“Everybody needs to be playing a huge part in climate change now…” Kerry’s daughter said to the Australian reporter as she walked away.”
She was really thinking “everyone but us, we’re special… and you can eat cake”
English is a second/third language for you? Must be to be so far incorrect.
A) Factual statements are not insults. I’m sure she is already aware of her appearance.
B) Lecture is an action. Your question about “lecturing” is specious.
Courtesy of Merriam Webster:
Vanessa did both in her response, she lectured what she though as educational and she officially, which is formal, reproved the poor reporter.
No. For one woman to describe another as ‘homely’ is practically a mortal insult, but it is in no way a misogynistic comment.
Kerry’s daughter….. Scientific Relevance => below even Greta !!
A “why bother” non-entity.
They don’t look like they’re going to aim for a thrifty lifestyle to “save the planet”.
Was their clothing reused and patched?
Not a fan of attacking peoples looks. BUT these people drip and have massive “ carbon foot print” coming out of themselves and on themselves from their method of travel to the cloths they wear and dinners , parties and events they attend.
And people on the left these days have no hesitation about making baseless verbal assaults on all the common folk like their fellow elites calling us basically hillbillies clinging to our guns and religion.
I will take a barbecue in Appalachia any day than attending ing COP what ever smell me look at me hypocrisy displays.
If there is one thing worse than lectures from a posturing buffoon, it’s hearing them from his daughter.
I am willing to hazard a guess that Ms. Kerry’s red dress is made from either polyester or nylon with maybe some spandex blended in with it. If so, does she know that it was made from a crude oil base? Even if it is made from cotton, the dress was still heavily dependent on fossil fuels for the growing and harvesting of the cotton and in its manufacture.
All of this leaves her answer to the question she was asked more than a little hypocritical. And were they transported to the event in a fossil fueled mode of travel? More hypocrisy.
As much as I may hesitate to call them both phonies, I can’t think of any other word to better describe this.
It’s a tough gig making the deplorables more aware but somebody has to do it.
No hand-me-downs or rags for that lot, then.
Well I’ve read all the comments and I’m quite surprised that I’m the first one to have the honor of typing the word “grifter”:
Yes, he did a pretty decent job. If only a few more politicians took the trouble to acquaint themselves with a few such facts then this mania might be put to bed. Can it be so hard to get an intelligent intern to do the leg-work for them?
John Kerry is a terrible person.

Catastrophic! The thing is hereditary!
