Maybe over wine. And I hope they both had a good laugh at HRC's expense.

Nice to know that her husband is the foreign minister of Poland and that anyone can be that diplomatic. gwbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-14957640746549592552014-08-04T03:35:40.938-07:002014-08-04T03:35:40.938-07:00GWB: This panel is another group that called for t...GWB: This panel is another group that called for the creation of a foreign service security training facility. Whether State gets one or not depends upon a couple key congressmen and how they interpret the public interest (AKA what's in it for them). Right now, it looks like there isn't enough in it for them.TSBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790614121966204073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-54301067458103706692014-08-03T22:39:22.013-07:002014-08-03T22:39:22.013-07:00James: How did you know I was dumb and blind?
