VFR contest

What is former KGB leader Vladimir Putin really thinking as Fraternity George, a.k.a. the president of the United States, chummily chats in his ear? Check out the photo, then submit your entries here.

The entries are posted below. VFR assumes the right to exclude entries not deemed suitable.

Leonard K.:

(1) “Nookyelar? They didn’t teach us the word in the English class.”

(2) “I hope he won’t do what his father did to the Japanese premier…”

Gary M.:

“300 million people in this country and this idiot is the best they can do?”

Caroline:

“What is with these silly Americans that they have such a contemptible need to be liked?”

Conservative Swede:

“Making funny faces, is that all he’s got on his mind? No, I’m not going to do a pig face together with him when they take the photo. Well, we screwed you then, and we screw you now too. Gee, what am I doing in this stupid gown? After all, I’m the only guy with dignity in this room. Count to ten… WTO, WTO, WTO…”

Bruce B.:

“How the hell did I go from killing double agents with poison-tipped umbrellas to standing in my pajamas next to this doofus?”

Lawrence Auster:

(1) “Oh, no, is he going to tell me about my soul again? … But at least that’s better than a backrub. Anything but that.”

(2) “People think dealing with the Chechens is the toughest part of my job, but this is worse. I have to stand here keeping a respectful, attentive expression on my face while this clown acts like my ‘pal.’”

Howard Sutherland:

“We lost the Cold War to America? To people who would pick this child to lead them? Aaagh—Marx really was a false god if that could happen… If he says ‘peaceful Chechens’ again, I’ll stick my KGB souvenir poison pen right in his eye…”

Cindi S.:

“We will bury you.”

Some entries speculated on Bush’s words instead of Putin’s thoughts:

David B.:

“Vladie, these outfits look like what James Bond was wearing in that movie You Only Live Twice.”

[Actually, that’s what I thought when I saw the photo. It reminded me of Sean Connery in the movie above. Remember, as Howard Sutherland has said, Bush thinks of himself as being smart and in control.]

Margaret Ann:

“After this, dude, I got Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts playin’ live at my pad. Come on over.”

Charlton C.:

(1) “Watch Merkel. She has to pee but doesn’t know the word for ‘restroom’ in Vietnamese.”

(2) “Check this out, Vladimir. When Merkel stands just right, you can see right through that silly gown.”

Andy K.:

GWB: “C’mon, Vlad, you owe me big time for getting you into the WTO.”

Putin: “Ten Million Illegal Immigrants? What the hell would I do with ten million illegal immigrants!”

Michael E.:

“I think these outfits will really help me with the gay vote.”

Glenn:

“Did you know there are black people in Brazil?”

[LA: When I asked Glenn to explain this, to me, obscure line, he wrote back: “Don’t you remember, a couple years ago, when a German magazine reported on a meeting between W., Condoleezza, and a Brazilian delegation. It was alleged that W. was suprised to learn that there are ‘African-Brazilians.’ So, wouldn’t Bush like to show off, and impress Putin with a fun fact about South America? Yeah, I know, it’s a stretch…”]
