So we want this guy for president, huh?

GARY JOHNSON VOWS TO GET TOUGH ON EAST KOREA


NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In an appearance Friday on CNN, Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Presidential nominee, promised that as President he would get tough on East Korea.

“This behavior is unacceptable,” he said. “The East Koreans are making us look like idiots.”

While stressing that he remained, for the most part, an isolationist, he said, “I will do everything in my power as President to support our allies in West Korea.”

He also blasted the Obama Administration for its “lack of transparency” in conducting foreign policy. “I think it’s unconscionable that I just found out about these countries today,” he said.

Aw c'mon. Live a little. Even I thought it was a bit amusing, though Borowitz is always really predictable in his satire.

GENEVA, March 6 U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with a red "reset button" to symbolise improved ties, but the gift drew smiles as the word "reset" was mistranslated into the Russian for "overcharge".

"I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is: 'We want to reset our relationship and so we will do it together," said Clinton, presenting Lavrov with a palm-sized yellow box with a red button.

Clinton joked to Lavrov: "We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?"

"You got it wrong," said Lavrov, smiling as the two pushed the reset button together before dinner at a Geneva hotel.

He told Clinton the word "Peregruzka" meant "overcharge", to which Clinton replied: "We won't let you do that to us."

...
Lavrov said he would put the gift on his desk.

And he says, well actually, it's not. Because they use a word, there is "peregruzka" which means like to overload, when you plug too many things into a socket,

Actually happened.

I've heard Johnson has a modest proposal for the Koreans.

But what's his stand on South Detroit?

Actually, a whistle stop tour on a midnight train goin' anywhere would bring good visibilty to the party.
