Clinton, Lavrov push wrong reset button on ties

[Yusuf]

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with a red "reset button" to symbolise improved ties, but the gift drew smiles as the word "reset" was mistranslated into the Russian for "overcharge". :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: If true, simply hilarious, full story[^]

I think the mix-up is that she gave the Russians the button meant for the Americans.

This remarkably amateurish blunder does not bode well for the Clinton State Dept. At least one Russian translator should be looking for work, and someone else for not double checking. From what I've heard of Hil's reputation, I bet some heads will roll on this one.

I'm sure, some one will pay heavy price for this. Next time Hil calls Lavrov... Hey, let us forget what happen last week, let us start all over again. No problem Hil...Hold on let me grap the button....
