Don’t Toy With Us

President Bill Clinton announced he was “eager as a kid with a new toy” to meet the new Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Barak. The idiom didn’t translate well into Hebrew. An upset Israeli reporter asked him, “What kind of game do you want to play with him?” Clinton quickly explained he doesn’t wish to actually play with the prime minister. “I would never do that. If I were taking a trip to Hawaii, I might say I’m as excited as a kid with a new toy. Doesn’t mean I think Hawaii’s a toy, if you see what I mean.” (Reuters) ...Right. It’s not a “Clinton toy” unless she’s under 25.
