Our pals at Foggy Bottom
Joel Mowbray, who has a new book out on the asshats in the US State Department, has excerpts from it this week at Townhall.com. Today's has this gem:

Particularly revealing about State’s attitudes toward those literally risking their lives to protest for the freedoms that Americans enjoy was Boucher’s initial, cavalier response to the question at the July 8 press briefing. This was the exchange:

Question: Scheduled for tomorrow, there are supposedly going to be major demonstrations in Tehran. Does the State Department have a message for the demonstrators, given U.S. interest in this recently?

Mr. Boucher: No.

Question: You have no message?

Mr. Boucher: We don’t. We don’t.

Question: It’s supposed to be a really big demonstration.

Mr. Boucher: Cool. (Laughter)

Pond scum.
