I was just about to blog about this blatant lie in the New York Times account here: "There was an echo, in Mr. Kerry’s tone, of a frustrated outburst in 1990 by James A. Baker III, secretary of state under President George Bush, who read out the number for the White House switchboard at a congressional hearing and told the Israelis and Palestinians, “When you’re serious about peace, call us.”" When I saw that comrade Electronic Ali beat me to it. It was clearly distorted to make it not about Israeli obscrutionism as it was presented by the Bush-Baker administration at the time.
