How to get fired and get sued

1) This guy has it down. Hopefully it's a context thing. Here's how I see the dialogue actually going:

Q:"Mr. Secretary, sir, if you were going to say one thing that would get you fired, and I mean get you fired today, what would it be?"

A:"Well, I'm glad you asked that Sean, I think we need to test our weapons systems on Americans first."

2) Did you ever think that the president would be engaged in serious talks with a major central Asia country over, not terrorism, but rather, a British comedian? Oh, and watch out for the link, it's got a scary picture. Apparently Sacha Cohen has a new movie coming out that Kazakhstan isn't happy with. So instead of downplaying this as a distasteful joke, they bump it up to international news.

For those who are interested and have a... sturdy... sense of humor, there was a song that made the rounds on the internet a few years ago. Be warned, it is subtle satire, it is racial and it is "real", in the sense that only the singer is in on the joke. But I thought this targeted rednecks more than Kazakhstani's (Kazakhstani's? Kazakh's?). The link. Don't say I didn't warn you. In response, the government of Kazakhstan threatened legal action for the unfair portrayal of their nation. Smooth.

You ever see a campfire? You know how it burns, right? You ever pour gasoline on it? How does it burn after that? Kinda like this, I'd imagine.

See, who says foreign affairs need to be serious all the time?
