5. I agree--that was the "UFO" question. BUT it WAS a tricky one.
If she had done anything other than blow it off with a smile, she could have been fucked.

Examples:

Pick DIAMONDS over pearls--Offend our Japanese and other Pacific region allies, who do big biz with pearls;
Remember the movie BLOOD DIAMOND?? Diamonds fund WARS!!! BAAAAAAD wars, too!!!!
Didn't OSAMA fund some of that TERRA with DIAMONDS??? Ah HA!!! She's a terrist!!!!!

Pick PEARLS over diamonds---Fuck over all the diamond dealers, brokers, and cutters, in NY and internationally.
Insult the nations who do heavy diamond trading and rely on it for a big chunk of their GDP.
Make the African diamond mine nations think that she HATES them.
Be compared to Barbara "Three Strands Like Wilma Flintstone At The Ball" Bush...

If she'd chosen any one over the other, it would have ended up being the "Story of the Week." Easier to talk about "Hillary's Choice" than talking about real issues for the MSM.
