Top Ten Most Embarrassing Disclosures Made By Wikileaks


Just two days ago, Wikileaks released yet another cache dump of over 250,000 documents. It has enraged governments all over the world, especially the US State Department, because it has revealed our top diplomats to be inveterate gossips. Among the disclosures that go back to 1966: A Saudi crown prince "is really cheap"; China is amenable to N. Korea falling and being annexed by S. Korea and Arab leaders wanting the US to depose Iran's leadership. But there were other disclosures that were even more humiliating to the Americans. What were they?

  • 10) In 1975, Henry Kissinger once wrote that the one-eyed Moshe Dayan "reminds me of Betty Ford after her mastectomy."

  • 9) Lyndon Johnson in 1967 called French President Georges Pompidou, "that Brylcreem-stealing cocksucker."

  • 8) Former US Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker once sent a cable in 2007 warning "not to sit downwind of President Talibani during state dinners. Just trust me on this."

  • 7) In 1982, Secretary of State Alexander Haig complained of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of "wanting to be in charge in the bedroom."

  • 6) In 2008, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sent a cable from Riyadh to the White House begging George W. Bush not to make her "sleep with a member of the royal family to lower oil prices."

  • 4) Hillary Clinton had called Chilean President Michelle Bachelet "that cunt" for wearing the same dowdy dress as her in April 2009.

  • 3) In 2004, George W. Bush was once quoted by Colin Powell to Ryan Crocker as saying, "You know I was aiming for Iran but the damned dart landed in Iraq, instead."

  • 2) In 1976, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once wrote that "Ford is so clumsy, he can trip over his own shadow, and actually had on one occasion."

  • 1) Madeleine Albright once had to assure a foreign female diplomat in 1998 that "Don't worry, Slick Willie will keep it in his pants. Hillary fitted him with a chastity belt."
