Fool me once — shame on you…

In a rare dis­play of diplo­matic finesse the World’s Smartest Pres­i­dent and his faith­ful Pal­adin, Hillary, have scored that Black Swan in the diplo­matic world: a hat trick. They have man­aged to anger and humil­i­ate three of our best allies — Hon­duras, Colum­bia, and Great Britain, while achiev­ing absolutely noth­ing pos­i­tive with the regimes they were try­ing to impress — Hugo Chavez, Christina Kirch­ner, the Cas­tro Brothers.

If Hillary’s going to be a Pal­adin, she needs to be one like the orig­i­nal TV model.

Hillary Buys a Round

Richard Boone as Paladin

Have Gun. Will Travel

So long as HRC fol­lows her instincts, as she did here with her shots ‘n’ beer, she’s OK.

When she tries to play the good soldier

to The Won

the president sneaks up to play "does this tickle?"

Does this tickle?

she is going to end up doing no good for us nor for her­self and will anger the peo­ple we need to keep as friends while wow­ing the very peo­ple who are going to be the first ones to turn on us. And her. Even if, as Fausta sus­pects,  she did get the name of a good Botox sup­plier from them.  But throw­ing our allies under the bus really doesn’t win us many points from the World Tyrants’ Bus Dri­vers’ Union even though they yuck it up at the time.

This Can’t be Accidental

Fausta think­ing this acci­den­tal requires accep­tance of ser­ial screw-​​ups all going in the same direction.

Bet­ter to admit that Obama has inten­tion­ally dam­aged our rela­tions with Great Britain, Israel, Colum­bia, and Hon­duras, all coun­tries securely in our court, all in the name of repair­ing our image in the world and undo­ing the work of the evil Bush.

In return he has made stead­fast allies of the Pales­tini­ans, the Ira­ni­ans,  the Egyp­tians, and the Cubans, the Four Vir­tu­osos of the Dissident-​​Killing and Prisoner-​​Torturing Quartet.

Boy! THAT’S com­pany I’d like to be seen in!
