First of all, I love that there's a German news story comparing German Chancellor Angela Merkel's and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's midsections, in order to point out they both wear pantsuits and position their hands in a similar fashion while standing.
Secondly, I love that there's an American news story about Merkel presenting Clinton with a framed copy of the German news story, before a state dinner.
Thirdly, I love that Merkel and Clinton are laughing their tits off about it.
