Gaffes of international proportions

This will be short.

All ideology aside, I am embarrassed to be an American right now. Obama ran his campaign partially under the new paradigm of "mending international fences."

Well, this past week has left us with egg on our faces. First, Obama blatantly snubbed Prime Minister Gordon Brown from the United Kingdom. Not to mention that Obama had already returned a 9/11 gift from the UK.

On Friday, March 6, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with a "reset button" gift that was incorrectly inscribed with a word that had a completely different meaning than what was  supposedly "intended."


Clinton
: "I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is: 'We want to reset our relationship and so we will do it together.'"

Clinton, laughing, added, "We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?" she asked Lavrov.

"You got it wrong," Lavrov said." Both diplomats laughed. "It should be "perezagruzka" (the Russian word for reset,) Lavrov said. "This says 'peregruzka,' which means 'overcharged.'"

As if that were not enough, Clinton tried to save face after the press-conference with some words that simply made her to look as if she were "fishing" for a valid connotation of the incorrect word:

Clinton: "In a way, the word that's on the button turns out to be also true," Clinton said. "We are resetting, and because we are resetting, the minister and I have an overload of work."


It doesn't  matter to me which U.S. administration would carelessly make Americans look this stupid, I would be just as humiliated. We look extremely idiotic in the eyes of the international community because of these negligent actions.

 
Media deals fatal blow to Clinton campaign

 

Please watch this video and see if you agree with me that Keith Olbermann is a completely overly dramatic buffoon.

Hillary Clinton made a remark in reference to Robert Kennedy's assassination which raised the ire of Olbermann and at least a few of the other lefty cosmonauts. Apparently, they believe that Clinton was using the reference as justification for staying in the race for the Democratic nomination. Liberals media-wide are now claiming that when Clinton referenced the Robert Kennedy assassination, she was insinuating that Obama might get assassinated, and she, therefore, would be the logical pick for the Democratic nomination. So naturally, she's going to stay in the race. If Olbermann and his liberal pansy freaks really believe that, then they must be either stupid, or paranoid and delusional (and probably both).

But that's just a side bar. I have a few "paranoid delusions" of my own such as this one for example: we all know the real reason liberals are upset with Hillary and it ain't got nuthin ta do with her RFK gaffe. The real reason they're miffed is because she won't drop out of the race and just concede to the new Grand Mufti of neo-liberal orthodoxy, Barack al Hussein Obama.

So now at last we come to it. The Keith Olbermann's of the media aren't as upset that Clinton made this remark as they are that she won't lay down. She won't quit. She won't just go quietly and let them have their summer fling with Obama. They've been trying to write Clinton off for the last few months now, and her RFK remark is exactly what they needed. It was made to order; something they could read between the lines; something they could twist, spin, and distort. Something they could milk for all it was worth until Clinton was “safely” dead and buried in some long lost God forsaken cemetery plot sans the grave marker. “Clinton who?” they’ll be saying. I think my neighbor had a dog named Clinton (or maybe it was a cow; I can’t remember). Anyway, she wouldn’t go away, so we had to put her down. It took a long time, though. We just kept feeding her poison until she got so disoriented she wondered out in front of my gasoline electric hybrid. That seems to me an apt description for what I have witnessed in the media’s treatment of Clinton.

This is nothing like when Obama made his gaffes, or when he refused to disassociate himself from the sinister minister Jeremiah Wright and later, domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers. In these cases, the media was only too happy to forgive Obama and forget his "indiscretions." They couldn't wait to give him the benefit of the doubt. They can’t help it; Cosmo’s moon has risen and love is in the air. This is just another example of blind, militant, hypocritical liberals wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Someone said that when “Obo” doesn’t deliver on his grand promises of deliverance I can say, “Eat your heart out neo-liberals.” But that quip will give me no comfort after four years of Wacky Baracky and his on the fringe policies. My only comfort then will be if liberals are still wearing their hearts on their sleeves and heart eating is really on the table, as it were. In that case, one can only hope that liberals’ sleeves are edible and they’re wearing cufflinks, really big ones made from low grade metals and embedded with large CZ stones. Then, perhaps, when all this passes, the sudden pain emanating from their hind quarters will remind them of the foolishness of not respecting cause and effect.
