& Then PrezBo Reminded The Russians About Alaska!
Gaffe; Gaffe; Gaffe......The supply is endless.Moe Lane writes on his blog: "This post written after I finished wiping coffee off of the monitor.
God, I miss the days of the Bush administration, when we didn’t do things like this.
Referring to the long history of Russia-U.S. trade stretching back more than two centuries, Obama told an audience of business people in Moscow:
“Along the way, you gave us a pretty good deal on Alaska. Thank you.”
Contra Reuters, this was not a “pointed quip” (as Ed Morrissey notes, it only works as one if you assume that the President wanted to insult his hosts): it was a “somebody didn’t read the briefing materials (particularly the bits about Vladimir Zhirinovsky) gaffe.” What’s next? Thanking the Chinese for their involuntary help with training up our Navy during the Boxer Rebellion? That should go over well: they’re even touchier about their history than the Russians are.
And I actively dread thinking about what the current President is going to say, the next time that he visits Japan."
I also added a few of my own:
Mexico: You guys still remember the Alamo?
France: Your army back to WWI & WWII readiness?
England: How's the old tea supply fellas?
A clown face to go with a clown mouth.
