Sergei Lavrov met with Pres. Trump yesterday to discuss the latest ideas on the Syrian conflict. Mr. Lavrov stated that they did not discuss any of the "other" bacchanalia. Bacchanalia, I love that word. It conjures up all sorts of images: wine jug -toting, scantily clad maidens; guests reposing on pallets of cushy velvet; musicians strumming lutes in the background; and the usual chase scenes of party animals doing their thing(s).
So, the Russyan Minister decided this depiction of other international inquiries gave the impression(that he wanted and noted) that he held these/those events to be beneath the dignity of discussion. Gotta love those Russyans-they know how to spin events. Talk about hacking? =bacchanalia. Talk about Ukraine: bacchanalia. Talk about Crimea= bacchanalia. Talk about military deployments in Baltics=bacchanalia. Talk about French election hacking=bacchanalia.
So, there you have the update, as the White House spins the James Comey firing in another light. Deputy AG of US has threatened to quit as he is dragged under the bus over his handling of a letter he sent to WH. Fun and games. Where's Molly Ivins when we need her? Gone forever.
