Right, I though that was a likely twist on a night like tonight. Can we throw any more curve balls?!!!

I guess he’s still there.

Okay, so before I really get going, let me pull in old Winston Churchil’s quote that “jaw-jaw is better than war-war.”

So yes, Mr. Secretary, for God’s sake, talk about the weather or the shape of the table.

But can you begin to imagine the howls of outrage from the kooky right, and the NYT editorial page, if the Obama administration had flip-flopped so briskly, so fecklessly, and so dramatically, on North Korea?

They would go apoplectic, but let’s not think of this as a flip-flop. It’s a policy of containment. Of the Orange Shitgibbon.

Here’s that containment you ordered.
