Darn! And I used to think you were so on the ball! Seriously, before mocking other politicians, have you checked out your George Bush recently? There's no question he considers himself King and his expressions are 1000 times stupider than Putin's!
Dear Alicia,
Let me assure you, the thought has crossed my mind. Alas, Good Old Bush's faces can be found in every bookstore; there are wall calendars issued every year. Too obvious. But still... check out "Presidents and Babies" post from December 2006 :)
I guess you're right (and all politicians suck, anyway).... You're still cool in my book! :-)
The top serious of pictures needs to add "Murderous."
Thanks for the slaughter of thousands of Chechens, Putin, not to mention the Slaughter of free speech in your country.
RIP Anna Politkovskaya
I think you mean to blame Yeltsin for the Chechens Jess
Damn him for killing those people, that were trying to kill his people
Free speech is relative and a loaded privilege that idiots abuse for their own personal fame and gain
Think of all the things you cannot say in any free society... the list is endless
Remember Jess, there are two sides to every coin
