"I will have to ask for double pay" if Rice stays at UN

Last night on the PBS News Hour they aired a discussion with the Russian ambassador mostly about Syria and Russia's stand towards as an allie, which was interesting enough in the short form discussion.

Near the end Judy Woodruff, who was conducting the interview, asked about the breaking news about Susan Rice's letter pulling her name out of contention for the spot of Secretary of State.

The Russian ambassador's response was very interesting as it wasn't like a well trained diplomat type, and seemed to catch Woodruff off guard, but more like a regular guy and the work with a counter-part that's sometimes friendly and other times heated and contentious, probably more so the latter.

The exchange
