Between that and this, well... I'm going to refer to this as the "all-singing, all-dancing Bush administration" from now on. It's all deeply strange.

It seems that it's not entirely unusual for high-level diplomats to perform silly little musical bits. I remember back in mid-2001 Powell acting out "El Paso" with the Japanese foreign minister, Makiko Tanaka.

The Russian delegation, headed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, sang a version of the Beatles "Yellow Submarine" as a woman waving a Russian flag ran around the dinner tables.

You know, I'm flipping through Revelations...cause an emissary of the Bush administration singing a homoerotic anthem, dressed as a construction worker, while in Indonesia...has got to be one of the signs that the seals have been broken and the apocalypse is upon us...
