KERRY: The American people and the people of the world want adult leadership. They want statesmanship. The want statecraft. They don't want this sort of arbitrary, isolationist, shut-the-door, ideological rigidity. And I think it's important to talk to Syria. I think it's important to talk to Iran.

BLITZER: All right.

KERRY: I don't trust, necessarily, what they say to you, but there are ways to put to test what they say to you, and that's what good diplomacy is about.

2. Well Bush isn't interested in no stinking diplomacy

If a world leader isn't interested in making armpit farts...he'll just play somewhere else.

4. heheh - but it is DELICIOUS that someone is calling Bush on his childish obstinance.

5. Oh was he just on Wolf Blitzer?

Yes, but I'm sure the people in George Bush's life have been asking him to act like an adult for a very long time and still, no dice.

6. It should rerun at 7pm, I think.
