WOW “From ticking off our British Allies to insulting the Isrealis (always our allies) to bending over for the euroweasels.... NOW Shrillery lets it be known there were no "honorariums" for Clinton Global http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19719.html GENEVA—Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opened her first extended talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov by giving him a present meant to symbolize the Obama administration’s vow to “press the reset button” on U.S.-Russia relations. She handed a palm-sized box wrapped with a bow. Lavrov opened it and pulled out the gift: a red button on a black base with a Russian word peregruzka printed on top. “We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” Clinton asked. “You got it wrong,” Lavrov said. Instead of "reset," Lavrov said the word on the box meant “overcharge.” Clinton and Lavrov laughed. “We won’t let you do that to us,” she said. Trying to recover, Clinton said the new administration was serious about improving relations with Moscow. “We mean it, and we’re looking forward to it.” Lavrov said he would put the button on his desk and he and Clinton pushed the button together, before sitting down for their meeting. A State Department official said the misspelling on the button was being corrected, in time for the post-meeting news conference. Heck this is on par with CATAH joking he took up running after drinking the water in Mexico or his faux pas in Poland.... then http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE5253XS20090306?sp=true BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton raised eyebrows on her first visit to Europe as secretary of state when she mispronounced her EU counterparts' names and claimed U.S. democracy was older than Europe's. I think I have been dead on that libbies do not understand history.... last edited: 3/06/09 12:25:46 PM” 12:36:02 PM 3/06/09 “LtDan's Famous Doberman Joke (and the rest of that thread that went on and on....)” 1:40:53 PM 3/06/09 “LOL..yeah imagine my shock....” 1:41:54 PM 3/06/09
