Full Engaged

No worries. John Kerry was focused on Egypt despite visiting his yacht during the Egyptian crisis.

The State Department says so:

"Since his plane touched down in Washington at 4 a.m., Secretary Kerry was working all day and on the phone dealing with the crisis in Egypt," Psaki said.

On Friday, however, Psaki further clarified Kerry's whereabouts and activities, issuing a statement acknowledging that Kerry did, in fact, spend time on his yacht, but insisting that he has been fully engaged in dealing with the events in Egypt.

To fill out the details, the State Department issued other photos of John Kerry carrying out his diplomatic duties.

Here's Kerry fully engaged in the Syria crisis:


And working on Iraq:


Fully engaged, of course.

Let's not forget that the French seem to need our attention of late over that NSA stuff:


Libya, too, beckons for focus and round-the-clock phone dealing:


Here's some genuine focus:


Fully engaged? The man's married! Luckily, he has a picture so it will last longer. But at least we have evidence that he isn't a first generation robot struggling to mimic humans.

North Korea is a wretched hive of villainy requiring diplomatic attention, too:


Iran continues to be a diplomatic struggle that benefits from Secretary Kerry's full engagement:


Don't forget Russia!


Reset! Okay, I don't really think Kerry is a communist, but the source was too good.

While there are no pictures of Kerry fully engaged on China, we can see him working on Vietnam:


Wait! That's a doctored photo. So no full engagement there. My bad. Heck, the way Kerry spent the war filming himself, I doubt he was fully engaged in Vietnam, anyway.

Lost credibility? Kerry? Please! He's reported for duty. What else do you expect? Or hope?

John F. Kerry’s credibility took on more water on the second day of his Nantucket vacation flap, as the State Department backed off its initial denial the embattled secretary of state was yachting during the Egyptian military coup — and President Obama tweeted a photo of himself kayaking in a hat, sunglasses and polo shirt.

To be fair to Kerry, he's at least as engaged as his boss.

Tip to Instapundit.

Have I mentioned I'm unhappy with Kerry as our chief diplomat?
