Hillary Clinton gaffe not taken as seriously as a George W. Bush one would have been by the BBC

The BBC report in amused tones that:

"Russian media have been poking fun at the US secretary of state over a translation error on a gift she presented to her Russian counterpart.

Hillary Clinton gave Sergei Lavrov a mock "reset" button, symbolising US hopes to mend frayed ties with Moscow.

But he said the word the Americans chose, "peregruzka", meant "overloaded" or "overcharged", rather than "reset".

Daily newspaper Kommersant declared on its front page: "Sergei Lavrov and Hillary Clinton push the wrong button." "

Can you imagine the fuss if George W. Bush and his team had made such a gaffe? But this is a Democrat administration so just wry amusement.
