"putin rebuffs critics accusing him of using mercury to poison non-compliant fish population: announces new endorsement contract with nair"

"Bait and Switch - Practice Makes Perfect"

or

"What Missile Shield - Gone Fish'n"

or

"Za Peoples Tsar - Za Rock of Mother Russia"
(the flip side of Yeltsin's "mother russia on the rocks - not stirred" era)

I vote for Za latter

Okay, so he's not exactly a warm and fuzzy Russian bear. He beats Bush though, with or without Nair. Plus, he's younger and a damn sight more intelligent, though perhaps equally evil.

well at least he doesn't have socks stuffed in his codpiece -- or if he does, the photograph has been mercifully cropped.

I know that our masters were just as evil when they strutted about pompously in silk tophats and elaborate cravats (or gorgeous embroidered and fur trimmed robes). but dammit, at least they had some visual gravitas. this highschool-boy posturing and preening, its banality, its triviality in the face of our various dire global situations, really turns my stomach. it's as if they are laughing at us for being dumb enough to elect and trust anyone as dumb and shallow as them.

Re: CJ #4

Mooners will be happy to know that Guckert/Gannon has landed on his feet as a spokesman for the International Bible Reading Association, for whom he recently organized a bible reading event on the west lawn of the White House.

Vladimir, I fear for your soul. Don't be sucked in.

Wasn't "socks" the Clinton's cat? Sounds painful. No wonder Bush has trouble speaking.
