Reply #10: For a nearly 68 year old man toquickly retrieve the papers as he did,

would usually be mentioned to note his agility. Not only that - given all the elitist crap the media propagates - it sounds like he was without aides getting on a subway! How does one elegantly pick up papers?

This article is SO stupid that most would have sympathy with Kerry's answer to her bizarre idea that the committee was an audition for SoS. (Even that it ignores that neither Clinton or ALbright ever had to pass a "test" of that type. To me, it almost seems like the genre of fairy tales where the prince must pass a series of impossible tests to gain the princess or the kingdom. If there was a "test", he passed it in Afghanistan and Pakistan.)
