“Hold the wheel Pootie, I gotta take a leak in this empty” would be the quote I would suggest if I fell for the bullshit that Bush is a playful drinking buddy.
I don’t fall for that so let me go with:
The two leaders celebrate the signing of mutual nonaggression pact with a symbolic drive in the brand new Russian made KdF-Wagen.

Quick, Pootin, grab the wheel and steer while I roll a quick fattie-mon.

Posted by: gmac | May 9 2005 21:51 utc | 10

Putin takes the wheel and sings:

Roll another one
Just like the other one.
This one’s burnt to the end
Come on and be a friend.
Don’t bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me.
Don’t bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me.

“pooty-poot grabs the steering wheel to avert a driving accident while dubya the shrub is distracted with that big russian joystick inside the car”

“Yes, Dubya, I’ll let you hold the steering wheel, too, when you’re not so stupid.” (heh, heh)

Speaking of photos. I have been busy searching for photos of Bush at the Russian military parade. However I have not found a single photo that shows Bush on the grandstand with Russian tanks or rockets rolling by. I am just a conspiracy nut or has someone seen a photo like the one I am looking for?
The only photos I have seen are of Bush in the grandstand or of the parade itself, without any world leaders in the foreground or background.

unfortunately for vladimir, the realization that george hw bush was an animatronic puppet couldn’t have come at a worse time

Don’t Vorry Yorgie. Don’t be scared.
It vill only do 25…30 KPH…tops…Maybe 35 if you flap your arms like this.
Your SS agents can still run alongside to protect you.

I can only think of two:
Putin: “Are you sure you know how to drive an automatic?”
Or
Bush: “Damn, drivin’ is A LOT harder when you’re sober!”

Posted by: mmack | May 10 2005 17:26 utc | 22

Goddam it George! If you’re too arrogant to ask for directions, move over and let me drive!

What they really said.

Now comes the story behind the picture
Bush shifts, thanks to Putin’s help

When the presidents walked out after the meeting, Putin suddenly motioned for Bush to take the wheel, and Bush, surprised, did. But he soon got hung up by the lever of the car’s manual gear shift, mounted on the steering column, and, with a flummoxed but determined look on his face, fought to get the car into first gear.
Soon enough Putin leaned over toward Bush, grabbed the shift lever and slammed it into gear. The car immediately took off, with no awful grinding gear sounds; Bush had evidently kept a good foot on the clutch pedal.

Raymond: Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway every Saturday. ‘Course the seats were originally brown leather now they’re a pitiful red.
Charlie: [surprised] Hey, these seats were brown leather. You know this car?
Raymond: I know this car.
Charlie: How do you know this car?
Raymond: It’s a 1949 Buick Roadmaster. Straight 8. Fireball 8. Only 8,985 production models. Dad let’s me drive slow on the driveway. But not on Monday, definitely not on Monday.
