Kerry wasn’t exactly kidding when he noted that the “splendid se ing” of this year’s Kuwait-America Foundation Dinner hosted by Amb. Salem Al-Sabah and his wife Rima made it rather obvious that his hosts “didn’t have to worry about sequesters” as they thanked donors of scholarship funds for promising Arab students at Georgetown University. “They’re the most remarkable team to hit Washington in 20 years,” Kerry added before the spotlight turned to his co-honoree, Catherine Zeta-Jones. A er accepting an award for her charitable work, the glamorous multi-award-winning actress won over the audience of political, media and business leaders with her heartfelt statement that “public service is not a chore, it’s a joy for me.”
