No, my little turnip, you look smashing!



After the *dinner* that ran an hour beyond schedule,
Putin was feeling a little self-concious about the size of
his bum. Here, he is pictured asking George and Laura
the paramount question of 'does my ass look big in
these trousers.'

    I think the really interesting thing about that picture is the guy behind Putin with the four hundred and eighty pounds of medals.

    I mean, as far as I know, since the Great Patriotic War--that's World War Two to anyone who's parents weren't killed by Stalin--um, I think Russia has been involved in about, like, three military...things...

    They totally creamed a bunch of beatnik Czech poets in the '60s by mobilizing just a few thousand more tanks than they had at Stalingrad.

    So that's one.

    Then, they bankrupted their country fighting and losing to the American backed, equipped and trained al Qaeda in Afghanistan in the '80s.

    Then, I think they also saw a whole Soviet army, along with like a four star general disappear in Chechnya.

    Not exactly a path to glory.

    So, what I'm wondering is: who the fuck is that guy? How'd he win all those goddam medals?

    What are they for? He got the last loaf of bread at the supermarket? He was no where near Chernobyl? His parents got murdered by Stalin and all he got were these lousy medals?

    You take the entire Russian army, from top to bottom, and since the fall of Berlin, the best thing any of them can say is that they showed up for duty more often than Bush.

    You don't think those are Bush Beater, Good Attendance medals, do you?

    According to the Reuters photo, he is a WWII vet.

    But maybe they are mistaken and he just made the Clean Plate Club several times.

    Laura looks appreciative. I think his butt is kinda skinny, but George doesn't have much either unless he pads it.

    Jesus, he must have won the war single handedly.

    It looks like Putin is getting ready to give the Bushes a lap-dance at the Moscow Scores...

    Putin's saying to the guy with the medals, "I told you the Russian incontinence pants are no good. You should have bought me the American kind."

    Well, to me, it looks like the guy is grabbing Putin's ass for support as he is over-balanced by the weight of the medals. But ricky, yo don't think that Soviets (oops, excuse me, "Russians") "win" medals any more than people, say, "win" the Presidency here, do you?

    Oh Jerry, you and your jaded views. You know the Russian leaders earn all their medals just like our leaders do. It's hard, hard work!
