John McCain, John Kerry joke about being members of exclusive White House 'losers' club
Washington, Dec. 4 (ANI)
U.S. Senators John Kerry and John McCain joked with each other about neither being able to win the White House bid during a press conference on Monday.
McCain first teased Kerry by calling him 'Mr. Secretary' during the Capitol Hill press conference, in a nod that he will be nominated for a Cabinet seat.
Kerry is thought to be a top pick for the next Secretary of Defense, the New York Daily news reports.
He has also been mentioned, along with U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, as a possible replacement for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Kerry turned 'beet red', but recovered in time and made a sly joke about the 'loftier title' both men had once coveted.
"Thank you very much, Mr. President," Kerry quipped, adding: "This is what happens when two losers get together."
