Political Humor of the Day
Hillary Clinton's idea of "humor" (and perhaps also of "diplomacy"):
"This is the president that looked into the soul of Putin. I could have told him he's a KGB agent. By definition he doesn't have a soul."Clinton's supporters apparently also found this both humorous and a great way to conduct diplomacy - "the crowd laughed uproariously and then applauded." I doubt they'll be laughing when U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf are sunk by Russian-supplied missiles after the U.S. attacks Iran.
By the way, I wonder what she thinks about CIA agents. Do they have souls? Or is this yet another case of American exceptionalism - only foreign spies don't have souls?
