Madame secretary should’ve gone to a World Cup game. International sporting event, international diplomacy – she could’ve made the connection.
I would’ve been jealous if she got to get a picture with Carlos, though.

She probably would have managed to get herself into a photo-oops if she had. She is prone.

I can believe that when it’s one of these ok-looking foreign ministers, but Carlos? Shirtless? I don’t know how blameless she’d be. BBQ Booty would’ve had to accompany her. It would be kind of hard to engineer a photo-oops when he always has his hand on her shoulder or her back or her arm or somewhere.

There’s another Pierce Brosnan Bond movie on BBC and this one takes place in South Asia (Tomorrow Never Dies). I know the BBC seems to love our Secretary of State, but they must get my “Hillary as Bond theory” too.
As an added bonus, I got watch soccer men and Pierce Brosnan today , so I’m all good.
