Quote:

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has lavished praise on her UK counterpart David Miliband in an interview with Vogue magazine...

In a lengthy piece in Vogue the interviewer jokes at one stage about having a crush on Mr Miliband after talking to him on the phone because of his British accent.

"Well, if you saw him it would be a big crush. I mean, he is so vibrant, vital, attractive, smart. He's really a good guy. And he's so young," Mrs Clinton replied.

If a male Sec of State had said this about his female counterpart in the UK, 18 years juniour, how would the media have reacted?

That is creepy, but it's also Vogue so I guess it fits the medium.

I take it you don't remember all of the diplomats who were shamelessly hitting on Condi Rice?

Indeed. Is she still single?

Yeah, can just imagine all the gals swooning over Vladimir in his singlet. (No. 18).
Actually looks a bit like Charles Dance in that picture.
