Hillary Clinton Gets A 'Hawai'i Surprise'

[Beacool]

In Hawai'i for the APEC summit, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's photo-op with Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang on Sawas interrupted by a scantily-clad man bearing a flaming torch running.

Clinton could barely hold it together as photographers captured her laughing after the man ran behind her.

5. I thought it was funny, but how does someone get that close to the Sec of State

without being stopped first?

[Glimmer of Hope]

13. That was first thought too!

[Beacool]

15. After I initially laughed, I thought of that.

I think that the APEC meetings are being held at a resort. The staff must have been cleared by the SS already. The fellow must have really been late to a luau, but I wonder why he chose to run past them and not around the crowd.

Hillary has a great sense of humor, she's probably still laughing at it.

:D

[gateley]

17. You can tell she's got a good sense of humor - her eyes twinkle!

20. They are wearing suits in HAWAII... REALLY?

No serious, having lived there, that is kind of FUNNY all on it's own.

[Beacool]

21. Apparently Obama decided to cancel the traditional Hawaiian shirt photo op.

I read that in another article. Yeah, suits seem out of place, but APEC is a formal setting.

;)

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. Hawaian formal works

And it IS formal, for Hawaii. With good reason mind you. And I own two formal mumus that I have worn to weddings on the mainland no less.

[Beacool]

26. Lucky you, I've never been to Hawaii.

I love to travel, but I haven't made it to Hawaii yet.

:D

[HappyMe]

22. I saw this on the early morning news.

Good to see something not horrible on the news.

[Beacool]

27. Yes, it's good to laugh.

There are always so many bad news that it's nice to smile about something.

:-)

24. I believe its at the Hilton Hawaiian Village

Every night at sundown they have this guy run down the beach and light their tiki torches. been there, seen that. plus they have free cocktails at sunset.

[ellisonz]

25. Yeah - those are the "lagoons" in the background.

[Beacool]

28. That explains the guy running past them with a torch.

Thanks for the explanation.
