Kerry Has a Serious Case of DYKWIA Syndrome

Conservative Daily Telegraph writer Toby Harnden describes how John Kerry acted during their first encounter:

Suddenly, the Massachusetts senator strode into the room and plonked himself, hands on hips, between us. Then he just stood there, clearly expecting us to jump up because he had graced us with his hallowed presence.

Many people in Washington have similar DYKWIA – Don't You Know Who I Am? – anecdotes about Kerry that reveal his narcissistic conceit that it is all about him, all the time.

His point is that in the US, you've gotta be pretty arrogant or pretty darn stupid to criticize the US military:

US servicemen are revered in a way that the British squaddie can only dream of. Soldiers travel in uniform and are routinely ushered to the front of queues and given upgrades to business class with no questions asked. On an American Airlines jet from Dallas last Sunday, a flight attendant made a spontaneous announcement about "the sacrifice our young men and women are making to keep us safe". The whole plane applauded her.

So JK is either stupid or arrogant or both - that much is obvious. Now it's up to the MSM to finally report it.
