I thought he was going for a Dennis Miller thing, where people have to chuckle to seem like they get the reference. But no, it's just Pakistan's defense chief. I.e., someone you'd expect the US VP to be aware of and maybe work with in some circumstances while being remotely normal about it. *sigh*

Awkward situation where your naked ambition leads you to being a standard-bearer in an explicitly white supremacist political party and you didn’t think that far ahead when you married her.

Vance advertises his being "from the hills", and while that can be a quite admirable statement for someone with Appalachian roots, such is not the case for him here in a fragile diplomatic arena.
