Santa Makes Hillary Clinton Fly All the Way Up to the North Pole

We know how much of a hassle it is for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that foreign leaders insist on talking to her in face-to-face meetings — as opposed to online, maybe, where she can carry on IM conversations with Germany, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, and Chelsea at the same time while also chillaxing in her sweats. So she must have really resented having to jet all the way up to the North Pole to meet with Santa yesterday. As State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters, for some reason:

These included things like “Middle East negotiations” and “respect for human rights.” Hillary then thanked Santa for his kindness, and, before leaving, mentioned to him that next year maybe he could make the trek to Washington, considering she schlepped up there this year and he has that magic sleigh and all.
