What kind of chance?

ARTICLE: Iran won't rule out U.S. diplomatic presence, AP, June. 24, 2008

Despite the nice sign, I am reminded of that exchange in "Dumb and Dumber":

LLOYD Come on, give it to me straight. I drove a long way to see you, the least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?

MARY
Not good.

BEAT

LLOYD
You mean not good, like one out of a hundred?

MARY
I'd say more like one out of a million.

BEAT

LLOYD
(Duh)
So you're telling me there's a chance?

Okay, I'll try to be more optimistic than that, but I really think this is posturing for the next president, although, as I've said before, this would be the one big break Bush could still engineer.

(Thanks: Jeff Jennings)
