On her MSNBC show last night, Rachel Maddow used Radiohead to illustrate a point about America’s newfound diplomatic relations with Iran. Here’s the quote:
“As you know, we have not had diplomatic relations with Iran in 30 years. But today, we passed them a note. Directly. Not like through the Swiss or anything. We did it. Now, in modern American diplomacy, us passing a note to Iran — that’s like the sun rising in the west. This is like Radiohead singing a happy song.”
Easy there, Maddow, you’re just begging for the patented Thom Yorke snub.
