That's a familiar situation for Khalilzad these days. As Iraq's political parties squabble over the nature and composition of a new government, sectarian violence has pushed the country closer than ever to full-bore civil war.

Dodd and Blickstead roasted the actress. Parodying Berry’s “emotional, gracious, and extensive” Oscar acceptance speech, Blickstead presented...
