News, but not the serious kind

You still have your tonsils, Ms. Clinton?

hillary event 490

Hey, Buddy! You on the other end of the walkie-talkie! So this is your first time setting up an overseas event for Secretary Clinton? I’m sure it’ll go fine. What’s your name?

I’m Lamar… This is a VERY bad connection, but we’ll make it work. Right now, Secretary Clinton and a local businessman are having their “Who can open their mouth the widest?” competition, you copy?

MALAYSIA/Copy that. Seems a strange activity, but you’re the boss, Lamar. Look at that mouth! She beat him good!

Okay, now Secretary Clinton is moving over to say a few words right in front of the giant turbo super-suction fanjet engine.

When she’s finished speaking, and safely 200 yards away, you turn that engine on! Copy that?

DO WHAT, Lamar? THIS IS A HORRIBLE CONNECTION!

I said, then you TURN ON THE ENGINE!

You got it, Lamar! Flippin’ that switch now!

You know, I have a lot of respect for Ms. Clinton, but that top picture just verifies what they say about politicians – they all have big mouths! :-)

… still recovering from severe tasing …

During the course of Ms Clintons meeting with Mr.Munir Majeed, the unexpected arrival of an ice cream van temporarily caused mayhem.

I’m struggling to understand the politics of the Clinton marriage with her mouth being as big as it is. Not sure why Bill needed to put his ‘foot’ in someone else’s mouth when his whole body would fit perfectly in Hillary’s.

@Spam basket – is this comment going to be your lunch?
