That. Was. Beautiful.

As Twitchy reported Monday morning, the Edward Snowden fiasco continues. This time, journos were hardest hit as they were trapped on a flight for which Snowden was a no-show.

CNN’s Jake Tapper is having a little fun with the debacle.

"As part of deal, Putin gets five more Super Bowl rings, da?"
