Wow! What a surprise. Thanks, Vaj for giving credit where credit is due. I agree. Hillary is doing a great job as SOS. However, why do you think the North Korean's response was "hilarious?" It wasn't just immature, it pulled out all the trite sexist slurs usually reserved for women. If they had insulted Obama using racial slurs, would you think it hilarious?
