John Kerry deserves all the contempt and ridicule he’s getting for taking a private plane to Iceland to receive an environmental award.
Tone-deaf as ever, he made things much worse by explaining that “people like me” need to fly private planes.
Could my fellow Democrats, just as Biden’s getting started, have stepped in a deeper pile of shit? What a gift to the other side.
But I laughed even harder when Newt Gingrich, who not long ago carried a debt of $500,000 at Tiffany’s, tweeted about his and the missus and their folksy economical ways compared to “Prince” Kerry.
And know what? He defended himself on the Tiffany’s thing by saying he was a private citizen who had done well financially and could spend his money as he liked– exactly what owners of private jets say all the time.
Newt needs to decide whether capitalism, and the personal luxuries it allows, is okay, or whether he’s suddenly a fire-breathing commie.
