Mary Landrieu Calls Pavel Astakhov an ass; Then files bill to speed up international adoption
Two weeks ago New Yorker satirist Andy Borowitz wrote G20 Ends Abruptly when Obama calls Putin a Jackass.
Last week, Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) , in an interview with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty called Russian Children's Ombudsman Pavel Astakhov, who supports Russia's refusal to re-open its child coffers to needy American paps, an ass. And it wasn't satire.
To make sure RFE/RL knew this just wasn't a slip of her sloppy political tongue, Landrieu reiterated:
"He doesn't want to hear the truth," the senator says. "He's an ass. You can write that: He's an ass!"
And RFE/RL did just that.
