Hillary Clinton Gives “Reset” Button To Russians, Except That’s Not What It Said
S.O.S. Hillary Clinton continued her gaffe-filled trip abroad today. After tripping up over diplomats’ names and historical facts (Democracy in the U.S. is NOT older than democracy in Europe), she offered her Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, a green-wrapped box decorated with a bow and containing a mock red button that she meant to say “Reset”. (Conspiracy theorists perk up…)
“In anticipation of this important meeting and our time here together, I wanted to present you a little gift which represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying,” Clinton said as she handed over the box with a laugh at the start of their otherwise closed meeting in Geneva. “We want to reset our relationship.”
Hillary was beaming with pride, saying her peeps made sure the right Russian word was chosen for the button. “Did we get it right?” Er, no. The Ruskies were quick to correct La Clinton, letting her know that her button says “Overcharge” in Russian. Hillary backstroked quickly, saying “oh we’d never let you do that to us!”
Clinton’s staff promised to fix the error on the gift and said it would bear the correct Russian word by the time she and Lavrov give a media briefing later today. You KNOW somebody’s cankles got fired over this one.

Funny story, except the word Peregruzka means “heavyweight”. Even funnier on Hillary!

Oh, my goodness, how amateurish can this get? I mean, we’re talking “real world” problems here, and ms. cankles wants to play these games. Never in my wildest imagination could I see Condi Rice pulling a stunt like this. It’s so comforting that this prank came back to bite her in the backside; although I feel sorry for the poor soul that doesn’t have a job now. From the obamessiah on down to the hildabeast, our country is watching “Amateur Hour” right before our eyes.

No joke. Great point about Condi never being so idiotic as to pull this kind of goofy crap! She’s way too smart and serious! I wonder whose idea this was…if it was Barry’s, Hillary knows she really better watch her back- and the back of her cankles.
