State Department

Sometimes, the U.S. State Department reaches new heights of silly. Granted, they have an institutional duty to obfuscate meaning in an effort to get along with everyone, but this one is a real gem:

"I would not call it a defeat," a senior State Department official said. "But clearly it was not a total acceptance of the State Department's view."
For the first time in recent memory, a President overrules the careerists at State on a foreign policy matter of some import, and their response is to spin it as less than "total acceptance" of their view?!

That's really pretty funny.
