You know, the one where Donald Trump describes how when you're a celebrity, you can just kiss women without asking and "grab them by the pussy."

"Well, I don't know what this would… English is not my mother tongue, I don't know if I would sound decent," Lavrov said. "There are so many pussies around the presidential campaign on both sides that I prefer not to comment on this.”

Christine Amanpour was NOT READY for that answer.

Oh, 2016. You're so full of surprises that absolutely nobody wanted.
