We all remember John Kerry as the first man to lose to George W. Bush in a presidential election and make some Republicans boycott ketchup. And in a few years, we’ll probably remember him as the man who merely carried through Obama’s situational, “lead from behind” diplomacy while Hillary prepped for her successful 2016 presidential run. But today, we remember him for being awkward. (NB: the above image is obviously photoshopped, though we wish it weren’t.)
