John Kerry Kicks a Soccer Ball

John Kerry showed a natural grace and ease never seen on the 2004 campaign trail when he kicked a soccer ball with his hands in his pockets in a Vienna parking lot, a moment captured by a State Department photographer in the picture above. Perhaps that was because he was doing an elite sport in a fancy European capital instead of pretending to like cheesesteaks in Philly.

John Kerry showed a natural grace and ease never seen on the 2004 campaign trail when he kicked a soccer ball with his hands in his pockets in a Vienna parking lot, a moment captured by a State Department photographer and posted to their official Flickr feed on Friday morning. Perhaps that was because he was doing an elite sport in a fancy European capital instead of pretending to like cheesesteaks in Philly. However, if you ignore the floating soccer ball, the photo makes Kerry look less like head of the State Department than the head of the Ministry of Silly Walks.
