Famous Last Words

Note to Obama administration: A little class, please.

From The HuffingtonPost:

The Obama administration said Tuesday that the reported last words of veteran diplomat Richard Holbrooke, its point person on Afghanistan and Pakistan who passed away this week, were meant as humor.

Administration officials sought to clarify that, according to people who were present, Holbrooke's final words, "You've got to stop this war in Afghanistan," were part of a jovial back-and-forth with the medical staff.

Somehow, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke never struck me as the joking kind. Not on things like this, and not on his deathbed.

Note to Obama administration:  Stop this war, please.
