German Chancellor Angela Merkel proved that she has a sense of humor when she presented Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with a very special gift Tuesday afternoon during her state visit to Washington, D.C.
At a luncheon at the State Department, Merkel gave Clinton a framed copy of a front page of German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine that showed two women in pantsuits from only the waist down. The caption read, “which one is Merkel and which one is Clinton?” according to a White House pool report. The back of the framed clip answered the question. It showed full body shots of Clinton and Merkel, in their almost identical style of pantsuits.
