Kerry's Camel

[Patrick]

Have you heard about Kerry's Camel yet ?  I'll be surprised if network news tells you about it. We are now going to or have paid $400,000 for a white camel statue in some city in Pakistan. We have completely lost our minds.

Last year, it was reported that Department of State employees spent about $180,000 on alcohol in September and $400,000 in all of 2012.

I worked in large object transport for about 5 minutes.  Apparently strapping a huge camel statue to the back of a missile is a perfectly acceptable way to ship something like that to Pakistan....
