What are they talking about?

hey!! this is german, its my natural language, but seriously this text is confusing me, cause they talk about so random stuff and use complicated language on top. its about politics: first they talk about a polititian who did not do any skandals, but says things in a nicely way and achieves the things he wants. But he let his wife wear a certain shirt which resembles a soldiers uniform. apparently that was the way the polititian attempted to teach US citizens about the war in Afganistan. The narrator finds it a little too much. o gosh it's so long.. after this story there's a dialogue. Both of the people talking have diff. opinions and loose their patience. hope i helped a little, i know i didnt translate all of it, but it was kinda long..
