You’re Toast, Sir

A shot of Obama and Karzai ... before the President of Kabul burned down the breakfast club.

(photo: Pete Souza/White House. caption: President Barack Obama chats with Afghan President Hamid Karzai during the start of a dinner at the Presidential Palace in Kabul, Afghanistan, March 28, 2010.)

What with Karzai burning us in the media all week, I imagine the Administration now regrets posting this on the WH Flickr stream just before he got fired up. Such a shame, too. The bogus symbolism is perfect — offering two leaders “seeing eye-to-eye” and “breaking bread” together.

With Karzai’s rants still ringing, I look at this now and imagine the guy in the white gloves taking him away — at least, immediately after he takes his basket back.
