I could do this probably at least once every day, but here is something that happened this afternoon that is an incredible black eye on US foreign policy:
Mrs. Clinton was over in Geneva today meeting with the Soviets…er, I mean Russians. As a symbol of The Admnistration’s desire to begin anew our relationship with them, she used a prop and tactic that would embarrass the most worthless political hack: she gave the Soviet…I mean Russian (sorry I keep making that mistake) Foreign Minister a plastic Office-Depot-Easy-Button-
He said she didn’t.
In fact, the Russian word printed on this political prop actually translates to “Overcharge”, rather than “reset”. Of course they had a good laugh about it and the photo op continued.
I shake my head in wonderment at the daily display of incompetence this administration demonstrates. There isn’t one person at the State Department who can properly translate Russian? I mean – we’ve only had polticial tension with them for sixty years! And they called Bush and idiot? Obviously, this gaffe is not good press for Mrs. Clinton or The Administration, so let’s see how the major online media outlets handled it:
Yeah yeah, I know - Fox is just full of right-wing nutjobs.

Nary a word about the exchange; only a single photo showing the gleeful pair “resetting” (or is it overcharging – we wouldn’t know if we depended on MSNBC for our news, now would we?) together.
3. CNN-
I can’t even find the damn story! I search CNN’s website using the key words “Clinton Geneva”. Nothing….
