Submitted without comment.  Unless a (NSFW) warning counts.  Or my eyebrow – which is not so much ‘raised’ as it is ‘in low Earth orbit’ – does.

PS: OK, one comment… Yes, indeed, you are not the only person out there who thinks that neither side won that exchange.

  1. Well, duh. But I must point out that in this exchange, the damage to each side seems to be self-inflicted.

    Just a bit of advice guys. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t be in the habit of tossing nuclear hand grenades. Its a great way to win the Darwin award.

  2. I like the “All the best, Michael” bit. It’s got the punch of the f— off without saying it.

  3. Neither side may have won, but State Dept. definitely lost. Why? Because everyone* expects the press to be jerks, and everyone expects diplomats to be diplomatic.**

    *Sane observers.
    **The definition that goes “Telling someone to GTH in such a way that he looks forward to the trip.”
