Media and State Dept mum on Russian gaff

Joseph Curl poses a question in his Washington Times report at the link below. Why won’t the state department talk about the Russian gaff?

The simple answer is: the media won’t mention it because it was an embarrassment to the Obama administration.

So how did it come about that the U.S. secretary of state gave a gag "reset" button to the Russian foreign minister, but the Russian word inscribed on the small box by the State Department turned out to mean "overload" instead?

Dr. Condoleezza Rice would never have presented a foreign dignitary with such a poorly conceived and insulting gift.

This administration is different. DVD movies for Prime Minister Brown, toy helicopters for his boys and a plastic gag button for Russia?

It reminds one of the time during the Jimmy Carter presidency when he embarrassed Americans by telling the Polish people he “lusted after them” instead of saying he “understood their anxiety.”
