Via Reuters: Meal from Hell Whets Appetite for US-Iran Clash.
The whole description of the meal (an attempt at Davos to open a dialogue between the US and Iran) is worth a read and is so involved that it defies adequate excerpting.
However, I find this graf amusing
Biden finally arrived an hour and 20 minutes late, having gone to the wrong hotel. His wife’s figure-hugging leather pants and a top that left her arms bare from the shoulders were in stark contrast to Vice-President Masoumeh Ebtekar’s all-enveloping chador, although both wore black.
Several reactions occur simultaneously. One is that is seems unnecessary to describe a Senator’s wife’s clothing as “figure-hugging” (sorry, no photos could be found) when whatever she was wearing would have been a stark contrast to “an all-enveloping chador” — gee, whiz, a sweatsuit would have been a stark contrast. Another initial reaction was that it must be the week for diplomatic clothing commentary–first Cheney, now this.
