We just pulled a post. Due to an ERROR ON MY PART in the way I read this story (which seemed too good to pass up with some one liners and a punch line aimed one former Secretary of State.) incorrectly: I mistakenly thought the diplomat was referring to Ms. Rice (who plays the PIANO at some events by the way). He was NOT.
We regret the error and have deleted the post.
(Driving 1500 miles since Sunday can cause some fatigue problems.) But we prefer to fix errors here on the front page and acknowledge them, rather than have a factually wrong post simply vanish and no correction made (as some sites do). So for the record: it was an error and the post has been pulled.
We’re posting this on the same link to ensure the error correction is noted by all who click on the original link.
